True, but the head of Sears doesn't get laughed at if the guy at Macy's fouls up. There are different responsibilities for each separate government entity, and agencies within those entities. Bush is no more in charge of the Louisiana governor's office than I am.
This isn't to say that Bush's administration is fault free in this--I don't think they are--but not every error that floats to the top stops at his desk in this situation.
