Ken why don't you go "fix" the George Bush article and claim that you are in-fact George Bush?
Because common sense would indicate that someone who claims to be George Bush when fixing an article probably isn't. George Bush is a massively well known public figure who is likely to be a target for impersonation. We already have WP:NPF which makes this distinction, so it's not exactly a new idea that some people are more public than others.
I'm sure that if someone claiming to be George Bush had written an article for Edge, they'd have verified his identity too.
