SU's the master manipulator. You can't argue with him intelligibly because he doesn't play fair and treats everyone as inferiors. He's the classic stereotypical lawyer, not interested in the truth only interested in winning using whatever tactic he can.
That said, I don't think you can dismiss the Freudian angle. The father/son relationship is so complicated and significant in most people's behavior that you probably can never discount it, especially when it's so obvious in the Bush's.
