<But no major party will put an incompetent at the head of a major ticket, for their sake if not for his.> If that is true, Bush will not be welcome for much longer in the Republican party. But it is not true. A moron can be very useful to a small group of people with an agenda that needs a stupid-faced frontman who won't mess up the message by doing any of his own thinking. Rove and Cheney keep Bush away from the press to reduce the risk that he will "be himself". When he cannot be shielded from public exposure he says idiotic things like "bring-em on". Clinton presided over one of the most spectacular periods of the US economy -- a period that went bust because of its own excess and success. Bush has been a bust for America -- he left the door open for the attacks of 9/11 and then spirited the bin-laden family to safety, he has been completely ineffective on the economy, he sent the federal government into deficits that were inconceivable only a couple of years ago and he made the idiotic decision to invade Iraq despite the fact that there was no threat and no legitimate reason to attack. His Presidency is a farce. He reports to Cheney and lets Rove make his major political decisions. His best defense would be to simply acknowledge "I was only doing what I was told to do".
