Bush was no lame duck, unless of course you're addressing his personality. But, Bush was certainly no lame duck president. Even after the '06 elections, he still hasn't been treated as a lame duck. He gets everything he wants.

Shrug, it could work
In American politics, the term Lame Duck means a president who has, through the victory of the other party in an election, lost his ability to push his agenda. This president, as Bardock pointed out, still gets what he wants. So, in america at least, the term does not apply.
Lame, now that's a term that applies.
