DALLAS — When the executive director of former President George W. Bush’s public policy institute decided to move on recently, he stopped by for an exit interview. Mr. Bush asked if he had anything in particular he wanted to talk about.

Nothing specific, said James K. Glassman, the departing director.

“O.K.,” Mr. Bush replied, “I want to talk about painting.”

After early self-portraits in the shower and then dozens of paintings of dogs and cats, Mr. Bush, it seems, has now moved on to world leaders. He told Mr. Glassman that he wanted to produce portraits of 19 foreign presidents and prime ministers he worked with during his time in the White House.

Nearly five years after leaving office, the nation’s 43rd president lives a life of self-imposed exile in Texas, more interested in painting than politics ...........

3. Here's an idea, George. Paint portraits of people who died in Iraq thanks to you

American soldiers, Iraqi civilians, doesn't matter.

Just as long as at the bottom, you write "died because of my optional war", and then sign your name.

Hang them in a gallery, alongside a video of you looking behind the drapes, under your desk, etc. and saying "Nope, no WMDs there".

7. Why? Why should you and I have to pay to feed and house the worthless bastard?

What I would much rather do is find a source of potable water about 200 miles from Alice Springs, Australia, stick his ass out there all by himself in a little house with a windmill for power, don't give him a car or any form of communication either one-way or two-way, and use his ill-gotten wealth to finance monthly supply drops. About once every three months, send someone out there to be sure he's still alive but other than that, leave him to think he's the greatest guy who ever lived.
