... all that didn't get smeared all over the press. :)

Dubya was in full plausible denial mode right from the start, and the press cooperated. Neil's problems were broadcast widely because they were both titillating and contemporary. Dubya's were, supposedly, ancient history. Or, that's what he wanted the press to repeat--and they did, for the most part.

Too, I don't think Neil's interested in the job. He's more interested in making as much money as possible with the least amount of effort--making money off his name. He's never run for elective office (neither has Marvin), he's openly hostile to the press in public, and his record as a human being is just as miserable as Dubya's. Way too many negatives--even for Republicans today. :)
