George W. Bush, artist

When presidents step down, the big question is, what's next?  what can you do after being the CEO of the most powerful nation on earth?  Well, some ex presidents have become involved with humanitarian tasks, like Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton.  Some write books to demonstrate their continued command of international affairs, like Richard Nixon (he once published a book explaining that Iran would be check against Soviet expansion for decades to come, and the very next month the Shah was overthrown - what prescience!)  But similar to Eisenhower and Winston Churchill (the man who plunged England into two world wars to defend the empire, only to lose it as a result) George W. Bush has become an artist. He likes to paint dogs.  yes, dogs.  and evidently he likes to paint himself in the bath or shower.   Some experts have said that his art is amateurish but enthusiastic.  Again, just like Paul Bremer's art, it's really bad.  the proportions are off, it's two dimensional.  I have no problem with Bush or Bremer painting, especially if it occupies their time and they can't screw up the world anymore.  but this art should be kept on their back porch, as something they enjoy as a hobby.  It's really bad art.  And he signs the paintings "43" as in the 43rd President.
