From Forbes:
Bush Administration Awash in Scandals

Campaigning in 2000, Texas Gov. George W. Bush would repeatedly raise his right hand as if taking an oath and vow to "restore honor and integrity" to the White House. He pledged to usher in a new era of bipartisanship.
The dual themes of honesty and bipartisanship struck a chord with many voters and helped propel Bush to the White House in one of the nation's closest-ever elections...
Now, with fewer than two years left of his second term, the Bush administration is embroiled in multiple scandals and ethics investigations. The war in Iraq still rages. Bush's approval ratings are hovering in the mid-30s.

Oddly, there are a few who still can't see the lies, the scandals, the corruption. Can't see or won't see.
People who get all worked up about Clinton's lie about infidelity can't be concerned about misstatements that lead to the deaths of 33XX of America's sons and daughters.
There I've heard some medical experts have stated that cognitive dissonance is a side effect of an extreme partisanship. That people who are defensive about their opinions cannot even admit that 1+1=2 if their "enemies" claim it.
