The ALS Ice Bucket challenge is getting out of hand now. The latest celebrity/victim to take the online challenge in aid of ALS disease is *dramatic pause* former US president George W. Bush. We’ve seen a lot of the more free-spirited sides of George W. since the end of his presidency in 2008, but this takes it to a whole new level.

Mickey Rourke has stated that George Bush "is doing a hell of a job" in regards towards the foreign policy with Iraq.
