I was going to ignore this, but couldn't resist The Guardian's headline:
Bush appears on US game show as approval ratings hit record low

Final confirmation that George Bush has too much time on his hands came last night.
Well into the lame-duck stage of his presidency, with his duties at the White House increasingly minimal, Bush found time to put in an appearance on the popular game show 'Deal or No Deal'.
The real story however is this:
His appearance came as a USA Today/Gallup poll showed Bush now has the highest disapproval rating of any president in the 70-year history of the poll. It found 28% of Americans approve of the job Bush is doing while 69% disapprove.
The previous disapproval record of 67% was set by Harry Truman in January 1952 at the height of the Korean war.
A plea to future historians: write off the W years. Publish no books, scholarly articles, essays, memoirs... just ignore him... forever.
