Loyalty to That?

The thing I don't understand about Bush is this. What is it about him that makes so many people so willing to sacrifice their careers, integrity, honor, and even country to protect him? Either he has blackmail material on a lot of people (possible, especially with all the illegal stuff his administration's done) or he's got the charisma of a cult leader. I just don't get it.

He's the patsy and placeholder for a number of very powerful and rich people who want someone infinitely manipulable and sacrificial in the top spot. Money and power, or at least the promise of it, can go a long way towards making other people do stuff they wouldn't normally.
