Subject: George H. W. Bush calls for Bush on steriods! :p

‘My son has totally screwed up – he listened to the wrong people and began an unnecessary war and messed up the aftermath by listening to more of the wrong people, leaving us all more vulnerable to terrorism. But kids will be kids. If only we can blame somebody else….’ – probably thought former President George H.W. Bush as he endorsed John McCain yesterday.

"No one is better prepared to lead our nation at these trying times than Senator John McCain," Bush said and probably thought, ‘Yep, trying because of little Georgie.’ “His character was forged in the crucible of war. His commitment to America is beyond any doubt. But most importantly, he has the right values and experience to guide our nation forward at this historic moment.”

‘He’s a warmonger and will kick in a few more Baghdad doors and will make peeps forget that my little Georgie started this mess.’

McCain, in turn, said he was deeply honored by Bush's support. "I think that our effort to continue to unite the party will be enhanced dramatically by President Bush's words," he added without acknowledging that he was being set up for McCain’s War.

President Bush has spoken warmly of McCain, calling him a "true conservative." Bush also called criticism by the right flank that McCain is not conservative enough absurd and grossly unfair. "He's got ... a sound conservative record, and yet he's not above reaching out to the other side," Bush said and probably thought, ‘He pledged “no new taxes.” What more could Nuts want? It worked for me.’

McCain has drawn the ire of some high-profile conservative pundits and others for what they call infractions against the party. McCain twice voted against Bush's tax cuts. He pushed a campaign finance overhaul that critics said restricted their free speech rights. And, he has worked across the aisle with Democrats on issues like an eventual path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants -- heresy in the eyes of many hard-core Republicans.

‘So, he’s a liberal, but he’s a hawkish liberal – perfect for the purpose of deflecting the blame from little Georgie.’

Democrats, in contrast, already have started casting McCain's candidacy as a continuation of George W. Bush's eight years in office. ‘“Bush on steroids,” as Pat Buchanan said. Barbara will be so happy!’
