George W Bush has paid a jokey visit to a hardware store in Dallas, Texas, which offered him a job as a greeter.

The former US president entered the Elliott's outlet with his security detail saying "I'm looking for a job", store manager Andrea Bond said.

The owner of the Texas chain made the offer earlier this month in a letter published in a Dallas newspaper.

But despite not yet having a publisher for his memoirs, Mr Bush decided on reflection to turn the job down.

Edited to add:

"We think you'll find working with us much less stressful than your last job," the offer continued.

FUCK YOU!

Of course Hitler loved his dogs and had good taste in music.

In his heart of heart he really wants to be the

Anything connected with * fails. A mere hour might not be long enough to precipitate bankruptcy, though.
