The sad thing is that George might have made a good or great Baseball team owner or coach had he the good sense to live his own life and not try to fulfill his father's imperial dynasty expectations. It is a costly lesson, both for the American people and the Bush family.

The Peter Principle is about rising to the level of one's imcompetence. It is a Chauncey Gardiner's "Being There" phenomena in the corporate and government worlds wherein we are pushed or pulled into positions of power for which we have either no, or inadequate, knowledge or training worthy of the office. We should have known that when a rich kid grows up and, despite the money and time to do so, does not even travel outside of the United States to broaden his education, then we were dealing with a less than competent man for the highest office in the land.

Regardless, the implications of the Peter Principle are that the state or organization is then prone to mistake, misjudgment, and eventual collapse when the incompetent one, or many, rise to their level of incompetency - thus resulting in the inability of the state or organization to perform both rationally and efficiently.

This sorry condition defines the Bush presidency and its dismal, defeated, deficit-ridden, and corrupt regime that serves to illustrates what has become a tragic mistake, and a modern tragedy, for America, the world, and our planet.
