Bush was a media creation in the first place
This under-achiever with a hideous traceable public record was eased into his position by a compliant media. They then propped him and his crappy war and his disasterous public and fiscal policies up by refusing to have real press coverage.

Now they don't know what to do with him. They could just acknowlege the universally accepted fact that he is just like Mike Brown in Fema - an underqualified, connected guy who got a job way bigger than his skills. (What other President or head of state has ever been referred to as having "handlers" like GWB?)

Bush has cemented a place in history as being the worst President ever, so, in a way he is No.1. Couldn't he just rest on his laurels?

1. he so much as admitted it :
"You know I could run for governor but I'm basically a media creation. I've never done anything. I've worked for my dad. I worked in the oil business. But that's not the kind of profile you have to have to get elected to public office." George W. Bush, 1989
