So what was the shrub's missed true calling?
Plainly administration is not GWB's natural gift, which to my mind begs the question: at what would he have been gifted? What was his true vocation whose call he should have heeded? Public lavatory cleaner? Psycho killer? Professional crack head? Post your suggestions!

Yeah, baseball has definitely had its day.
Time for the most successful failure ever
to bring it down.

3. He found it. Crime. He's very successful at it, like many sociopaths.
I just wish he'd have chosen a different area of crime to specialize in.

14. I keep thinking of the Monty Python skit...
... in which Ken Shabby (Michael Palin) is being grilled by his girlfriend's father (Graham Chapman) about his profession and he explains that he's a public lavatory cleaner, but it does have promotion potential: in five years, they give him a brush.

... he seems to have enough of the 'affable' quality that street-criminals need to make their collections, and he's also psycho enough to chop someone's fingers off without a second though when the need arises.

However, Bush would be a slimeball used car salesman. He would lie about every fact about the car. I'm assuming your friends are the honest types.

33. There seems to be strong support for this career...
Perhaps we should send him our recommendation. Dallas wouldn't be a bad place to be a town drunk, either - relatively warm winters for when you're sleeping it off under a bridge.

He could host store openings, wear funny hats while reading words written by others.

Maybe he could do sports, just so long as he doesn't have to do any real reporting, but stay on TV.

probably president of the Rotary Club in his spare time. Unfortunately for him and us, his name and connections launched him into higher strata than he was capable of functioning in.
