Who'd have guessed it? U.S. President George W. Bush might be going down as the greatest protector of the seas ever. Later today, he is to announce the establishment of the "largest area of protected sea in the world." Commercial fishing and mining will be largely prohibited in protected zones of the remote Pacific that include some of the most biologically diverse locations on Eart...

Tony Blair will soon have a brace of America's top gongs for his trophy cabinet after today's confirmation by the White House that he is to receive the Presidential  Medal of Freedom from George W. Bush in one of the final acts of his presidency. The medal will be handed over at a White House ceremony next week. Mr Blair has yet to pick up the other award, the Congressional Gol...

Leader of the Free World and Iraqi Boot Magnet George W. Bush has bought a new home, apparently he understands a degree of reality (finally) that his Administration is in its final days.  A third term and we might all have been in The Final Days.  All bad things must come to an end.   Thank God and term limits.

The Guardian's US political team look back at the events that have marked and marred the presidency of George W. Bush. Is he really the worst president of all time?

Hint: It wasn't George W. Bush

The shoe hurled at President George W. Bush has sent sales soaring at the Turkish maker as orders pour in from Iraq, the U.S. and Iran. The brown, thick-soled “Model 271” may soon be renamed “The Bush Shoe” or “Bye-Bye...

One of the most conspicuous failures of George W. Bush and Condi Rice's 'Arab Democracy' fetish has to be Lebanon. The anti-Syrian March 14th movement was initially sold out at Annapolis, and recent events have made it pretty obvious that a free hand in Lebanon (among other things) for Syria and Iran's proxy Hezbollah was part of a clandestine deal for relative quiet in Iraq. P...

Thanks to the wonders of modern technology you too can throw a shoe at President George W. Bush - if you're that way inclined. It's amazing how quickly people make these spoof games. If you fancy a go visit Sock and Awe
