Nero W. Caligula.

"Imagine, just imagine, what would have happened if Bill Clinton was photographed playing his sax at some photo-op while still warm, bleeding bodies were being pulled from the wreckage of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
"We would never, and I mean never, have heard the end of it. There would be no relief from Nero references which would then be conflated by the sex-obsessed moralists to Caligula references." — Mykeru
UPDATE: Bush bandmate Mark Wills sings a song called "How Bad Do You Want It" that pretty much sums up the Bush platform:
It ain’t how good you are
It’s how bad you want it
It ain’t how good you are
It’s how bad you want it
Translation: Greed trumps competence.
