I’m so pleased George W. Bush has found something to do now he’s no longer overburdened with being the most powerful cretin on the planet. The Times reports:

He left office with the US embroiled in two wars, a Great Recession and with his approval rating a toxic 22 per cent. So the next stage in his career is obvious. George W Bush — who last year inspired millions of people to vote Democrat — is about to become a highly-paid motivational speaker.

On Monday the former Republican President will appear as the headline speaker on the popular Get Motivated seminar programme, which describes itself as an “action-packed, fun-filled, explosive, exciting, inspiring, skill-building business event that is world famous for its mega-watt superstar speakers and spectacular stage production.” He will appear again in San Antonio in December.

To be fair, Dubya was a good motivator while in office. He provided enormous motivation to America’s enemies.

Note to attendees: bring spare shoes for throwing.
