Bush turns down job at hardware store.

Or maybe he didn't pass the drug test? From Ananova:

George W Bush has turned down his first chance of a new job since leaving the White House - at a hardware store in Dallas.

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

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

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

Equipped with a name tag reading 'W', Mr Bush spent an hour there with his secret service security detail, chatting to customers and shopping.
