Bush Turns Down Job Offer From Dallas Hardware Store 11

Posted by samzenpus on Monday February 23, 2009 @03:07PM from the home-improvement-accomplished dept.

Elliott's Hardware store offered George W. Bush a position as a greeter in an open letter in a Dallas newspaper last month. Bush walked in the store on Saturday and said, "I'm looking for a job." Andrea Bond, a manager at the store, said president Bush spent about an hour with his secret service security detail shopping and talking to customers during the surprise visit. Despite having a lot of free time, the former president turned the job down. I'm sure W would make a great hardware store employee as long as Karl Rove worked in the aisle next to him.

The article mentions that he hasn't found a publisher yet for his memoirs. That's the most surprising detail in the story. I have to wonder if that's because the publishers think no one will read it or if the normal process even for a former President takes time?

And to think we could have written a small shell script eight years ago to take care of his other job.
