Former Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis blames himself for Bush.
This must qualify as one of the worst cases of lasting self-guilt in political history. Here’s what former Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis had to say to CBS’s Katie Couric about his failed 1988 run against George H.W. Bush:

Can somebody give the poor guy a hug?
