George W. Bush does the ice bucket challenge
You're never too important or powerful to take on the ice bucket challenge and have fun at the same time.
Just ask Bill Gates and, now, George W. Bush.
While US president Barack Obama declined to join in the latest viral campaign to hit the Internet and opted to donate money to the ALS Association instead, Bush, his predecessor, was a bit more sporting.
In a video posted on his Facebook page, the ex-Potus (that's President of the United States) initially seemed like he was taking the Obama approach to the ice bucket challenge and whips out his cheque book before he cries out with a loud "Oh!" as wife Laura drenches him with a bucket of freezing water.
Mrs Bush then reveals that the cheque is for her because she "doesn't want to ruin (her) hairstyle".
So now that Dubya has done his bit for ALS awareness, who did he nominate to take on challenge after him?
Bush opted to give his predecessor at the White House Bill Clinton, who just celebrated his 68th birthday, "a bucket of cold water" as a belated present.
