George W. Bush News, Pictures, and Videos

Former President George W. Bush accepted his nomination to take part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and had water poured on his head by his wife, Former First Lady Laura Bush!

“To you all who challenged me, I don’t think it’s presidential for me to be splashed with ice water, so I’m simply going to write you a check,” the 68-year-old politician said in the video, before his wife surprised him by pouring the ice water on his head. So funny!

At the end of his video, Former President Bush nominated Former President Bill Clinton! Watch the challenge below.

Just after George W. Bush dished to Matt Lauer that he felt Kanye West’s remarks about him represented an “all-time low,” Kanye shared his own thoughts on the former President.

When a caller contacted Kanye via Elvis Duran and the Morning Show and said she’d lost respect for him, Kanye replied back, “I am like the rap version of George Bush. I became George Bush…the irony, poetic justice of that was just so amazing. Just for [the caller] to say ‘I lost respect for you’ is just how a black person would completely say the same thing about George Bush.”

“The misery in Louisiana affected me deeply as well,” President Bush said of Kanye’s telethon outburst (via People). “There’s a lot of tough moments in [his new book, Decision Points]. And it was a disgusting moment, pure and simple.”

“This Mother’s Day weekend was awfully special for [my wife] Laura and me,” Bush said at an airport in Waco where he boarded Air Force One to return to Washington. “We’re mighty blessed.”
