it's funny, but not like he's thinking it's funny

I couldn't agree more. From Reuters UK:

BERLIN (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush told a German newspaper his best moment in more than five years in office was catching a big perch in his own lake.

"You know, I've experienced many great moments and it's hard to name the best," Bush told weekly Bild am Sonntag when asked about his high point since becoming president in January 2001.

"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound (3.402 kilos) perch in my lake," he told the newspaper in an interview published on Sunday.

Even Bush agrees, in 5 and a half years in office his shining moments came when he was far, far away from Washington and cameras and politics. It figures: it's where he spent the most time, judging from the record-shattering, mind-boggling amounts of vacation he's taken.

I think we can all agree that possibly the stupidest move the collective public has made in the last 30 years is robbing this poor man of the chance to play "rancher" all day long.
