You're Nothing Unless You're Something

I'm thinking George W. Bush has a future in television. Actually, when his sentence as president is over he's probably going to want to spend a lot of time in Crawford clearing brush and hunting with Cheney, making forays outside Texas occasionally for appearances on the rubber chicken circuit and maybe starring in beer commercials in Japan. But it's not too late for him to turn his life around. I can see him with a talk show, doing the whole Maury Povich, Montel Williams, Arsenio Hall thing. Look at Alan Thicke, who managed to turn minimal talent into a little career surge (not on the level of Oprah or Ellen, just enough to avoid feeling like a total loser). Guys like Tony Danza have refused to give up and stayed the course, why not W? And hey, he might be able to parlay that into a summer circuit tour as Prof. Harold Hill in a revival of The Music Man, playing the role of a charming con man. Break a leg, George.
