    The Internet exploded with jokes about how Bush was seen grappling with the protective gear and alternately put it on top of his head and over his face, Time magazine reported.

    “George W Bush sporting the latest Ralph Lauren headgear…. #Inauguration,” poster Coxey Loxey tweeted, along with a photo of the one-time world leader peeking out from under his soggy tarp.

    “As wack as today is at least we have George Bush tryna put a rain poncho on lmaooo,” another person joked on Twitter.

    The New York Post noted Bush’s former vice president Dick Cheney, who was seated nearby at the event, appeared amused as he tried to help Bush at one point.

    Outgoing President Barack Obama is seen in some of the photos, sitting in front of Bush and seemingly unaware of the other man’s troubles, which added a little levity to the serious occasion.

    What about Bill Clinton staring with an inappropriate facial expression at Ivanka and Hillary catching him in the act!

    Big deal. It’s hard to put one on while you have to remain sitting. People should try it before mouthing off.

    As for the chaleriya, he probably saw it and ignored it.

    Not as amusing as when Dick Cheney sprayed that Texas lawyer with bullets on a quail hunt a number of years ago.

    Let’s hope Ivanka is not a sucker for Bill’s attentions.
