Say hello to the newest motivational speaker... Updated at 8:33 AM
Classy Gig For Ex-President
David Kurtz | October 20, 2009, 6:25PM
Former President George W. Bush has signed up to be the "special guest speaker" for one of those traveling arena-size motivational speaker extravaganzas:

Bush's first "Get Motivated!" gig is next Monday in Fort Worth. He does a second one in December in San Antonio.
This is the same "business seminar" series that signed up Colin Powell, Rudy Giuliani and Steve Forbes. Laura Bush is also a speaker. The promoters promise:
Our world-renowned speakers appear LIVE ON-STAGE to provide you a full day of hundreds of proven ideas, formulas and success keys. GET MOTIVATED! is guaranteed to help you and your organization reach new heights of success. You'll be inspired, enlightened, motivated, trained and entertained by America's foremost success experts!
George W. Bush, one of "America's foremost success experts."
Late Update: I see that National Review's Mark Hemingway attended one of the Get Motivated! events in DC in 2007. Apparently, W. isn't alone among his predecessors:
Past speakers have included Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Gerald Ford. (Bill Clinton does gigs for Tony Robbins's competing organization at $300,000 a pop--but only in Canada.)

The DUmmies will never attend a motivational conference.....besides who but the USSR could ever motivate socialist.....with the use of a club and a gun barrel.

I guess DUmmies don't like being motivated. And Pitt forgot about Zig Ziglar.

7. Think he'll show up sober?
After which a photo of GWB with a bottle of gin.
Not only has GWB not drank in sooooo many years, beloved Teddy can go through life sloshed, and that's no problem.
Not a very big bonfire.

Remember that time--it was only a few years ago--when dead ted was so sloshed that he trotted onto the floor of the Senate and cast a pro-life vote?
Unfortunately, his handlers were close by, and dead ted was instructed to change his vote in favor of the abortion interests.

My company sends the senior staff to those when they come to town.
I've seen and heard Margaret Thatcher and Colin Powell. Well worth it.

My favorite memory of Dead Ted is when he drunkenly referred to the jug-eared muslim as "Osama Bama".
