"There are two things to do when you've made a political calculation that backfires. The techniques apply regardless of whether it's a law you've touted that caused unintended consequences or when an appointee or elected official you supported turns out to be an embarrassment.
In the case of unintended consequences simply unleash a barrage of statistics to support that you have done the right thing and they don't have to be accurate or relevant. If it's an individual who is a problem then circle the wagons, heap praise on the persons accomplishments and see that they are given prestigious awards and praise."
