Dumb luck hardly describes GWB, because if anything ole GWB was a man of few successes and numerous failures. His greatest piece of dumb luck was being born into a wealthy and politically powerful family, and the one lesson GWB learned was that no matter how flat he flopped his daddy or his daddy friends would bail his ass out.
Of course when GWB became President, we the American people had to bail GWB's ass out every time he flopped. Its cost the USA maybe 10 trillion or more, but GWB gets to go to Crawford and revel in the fact he was a two term President still loved by a few die hards. And GWB can basically say he never had to pay for a failure in his life. That is not dumb luck, that is a very bad upbringing that has totally divorced him from normal human reality.
