Now I know why Bush picked him. The Orange Story.
When he was in junior high school, his mother was summoned to the principal's office one day. John was in trouble for throwing an orange at a newly painted wall. "It wasn't my fault," John told his mother. She asked whether he had thrown the orange. Yes, he said. And did it hit the wall? Yes, he averred, "but it's not my fault." His mother asked him how that could be. "Tommy ducked," said John. "It was never supposed to hit the wall, it was supposed to hit him in the head. It definitely," he confidently summed up, "was not my fault."
George Bush: Unwilling to accept personal responsibility even after he's been caught? Check! That's our guy, Andy. He's going to fit in just fine! Get me Judge Roberts on the phone!
Andrew Card: Right away, Mr. President.
