Why do people impale themselves for this two bit God-Awful President?

Why do men and women destroy themselves for this man Bush? From once respectable people like Colin Powell down to bottom of the barrel intellects like Harriet Miers and Gonzo... they impale themselves for this mental midget George W Bush - a man certain to be reviled by generations of decent Americans.
Why do they do it? The words mafia and cult both come to mind. People like Gonzo are what the Founders feared most. Mindless sycophants who ditch all morality in order to follow a misguided, stupid, greedy, childish, dirty, rotten, scoundrel of a President.
