The Internet is Going Nuts Over George W. Bush and His Poncho

Eight years after his Presidency, people see former President George W. Bush as a sort of teddy bear. George W. Bush as a former president is…a lot of fun. People like him now. And pretty much everyone gets a kick out of his second life as a painter. Today, he attended the inauguration of President Donald Trump. It was raining and he tried to put on a poncho and…it didn’t go entirely as planned. The Internet pretty much lost its mind. To be fair, ponchos can be tough.

I think George W. Bush vs. Rain Poncho should have had more extensive coverage than the inauguration address, but that’s just me.
