Bush's inability to hold anyone accountable comes from two places.

1) Bush himself has skated through life being bailed out by friends and family after messing up job after job. Unsurprisingly, he seems to hold his administration to the same rigorous standards. It's just typical old-boy networking writ extremely large.

2) Bush feels he was chosen by God to lead the country. Why would God put someone fallible in charge?

I think it's mostly #1 with a sprinkling of #2.

Also, for all the noise made about Bush's IQ, I don't think that really matters too much.
