It's almost as if they're embarrassed by Bush

As everyone has no doubt heard, John McCain stopped by the White House to pick up the president's endorsement. As Dan Froomkin noted, however, some were far more interested in publicizing the meeting than others.
You'll never guess who was the most excited about yesterday's endorsement.
As of this writing, there's no mention of it on the home page of McCain's Web site. There's no mention of it all on the Republican National Committee's home page. In fact, I can't find any mention whatsoever of the event on either Web site at all. (It's like: Bush Who?)
But on the Democratic National Committee Web site, the lead headline blares: "Bush Endorses John McCain as His Successor."
"Since the event was held in the middle of the afternoon we fear that some Americans may miss George Bush's assurances that John McCain would continue the Bush Administrations failed economic and foreign policies," the DNC explains. "As a public service we've posted a video of the press conference for voters to see."
I wonder why that is?
The Village Idiot on McDepends.
I watched that press conference and saw Bush interrupt question after question like the usual arrogant self. I almost felt bad for McCain having to stand there smiling next to a man who led one of it not the dirtiest campaigns in 2000 against him.
Almost.
I'd let Bush teach my dance challenged offspring.
The whole thing is really bizarre. Even during the press conference, McCain was very uncomfortable.
Wanna get away?!
Maybe he's still pissed about 2000. hmmm?
The endorsement is more like a pox upon the house of McAint.
Mister Chad Daaannglesss....dance.....
mcSAME is damaged. he is not sane, could it be from him being tortured?
mcINSANE is gonna get his ass handed to him.
If I was Bush, I'd be drunk too.
seriously -- how did they fuck that up so badly. i mean, how friggin difficult is it to be in contact with mccain to see where he is before you send the president out to greet him -- that turns out to be several minutes too early.
damn.
cuz mcshitstain-shame-insane is a bigger fuckin moron than retardo dubya
I, too, would distance myself from a man who dances alone. Usually when a man dances alone, it means he’s drunk. That or a David Gregory wanna be. Spin, baby, spin.
Ugh...what an embarrassment.
Osama Bin Laden gets uncomfortable watching this twit's antics.
Hello, this is Senator McCain. Please stop airing this non-news newstory immediately. This is nothing but a smearmongering thunderstrike by the liberal press. A 100 years in Iraq is fine with me. yada yada yada... ooohrah!
Yes, folks, he dances like a chimp, too. Isn't he special?

Fake swagger, fake president~
Bush just had his Caine Mutiny moment. Wow! Was that the classic melt-down, or what?
I'm sure old straight shooter was uncomfortable. Why after the way Bush/Rove and company tore him a new asshole with their mealy mouthed crap back in 2000, and now here he was standing there with a shit eating grin, looking uneasy with a mouthful of Booshwood in his yammering pie hole to suck on and nurse.
I caught a glimpse of this yesterday? It was yesterday right.
well anyway,this was the funniest thing I've seen in awhile.
The preznit doing a song and dance while waiting for McCain.
He was embarrassed to have to wait.
Just goes to show,no one takes him seriously,not even McCain.

It could be a case of all the competent PR people have fled leaving the idiots in charge, or PR types having some fun at establishing Chimpy's legacy for the world to see.
I think McCain was late on purpose, but on the other hand having experienced the nightmare that is DC traffic anything is possible.
mudshark @ 23:
One CGI puppet watching another CGI puppet.
Perhaps the question we should all be asking ourselves is: "Is John McCain truly qualified to follow in Bush's footsteps if he is not capable of making a complete ass out of himself in public?"
any american with a workin knoggin is embarrassed.
ferrofluid @ 26:
please forgive my ignorance,but CGI?
thanks.
God I really pity politicians. At every moment they have to go against their principles in order to appeal to their base.
If McCain had publicy declined the President's invitation and told the Chimp to go passionately fuck himself, the Straight Talking Senior Citzens's poll numbers would be heaven-bound at press time.
But no, the most unpopular U.S. President in modern times snaps his fingers and all the chariots get into line. And there was that sorry old bastrd, with his jaw clenched and a smile pasted on his face, standing there pretending like Bush's endorsement would actuallly help his campaign.
And personally (and I put NOTHING past the Chimp), the whole tap-dancing on the steps was just an extra F.U. to McDepends, who by the way was against Bush before he was for him.
Those 5-year-old SwiftKids over at Arianna could tell you that an endorsement from Bush is like an endorsement from Nixon circs 1976, i.e. the kiss of death. I can imagine that McCain's camp are at LEAST as reasonably intelligent as a pack of children, so I'm sure they tried to 86 it.
But nope. McCain kissed the hand of Don Corleone and sealed his fate.
I can't wait until Hill or Obama's campaign pastes stills from this conference on EVERY SINGLE CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL going into November. They could run their campagins from their bedrooms and still sweep the electorate.
My thoughts...
Bush had to plant the kiss of death on "Ole Straight Shooter" just for old times sake and to show him he hadn't lost his touch from the 2000 election.
Not to worry. The AP has it all as a happy, joyful day for our glorious president and Insane McKaine. No mention of the dancing, late arrival. If there's an embarassment here, a gaff there, the AP is sure to tidy things up. America's Neocon New Agency, AiPac, the body guard of lies is on the job. Sleep well Perle, Addison, Scooter, Netanyahu, Andrea, Bolton, Chalabi, O'Hanlon, Gaffney.

McCain has only himself to blame for the embarrassment that is GW Bush and his presidency. The GOP and those who voted for W in 2000 are most to blame, but McCain is partly culpable. Here's why: Karl Rove, working for Bush as his chief campaign smear merchant, attacked McCain and his family with some of the most egregiously negative attack ads in modern political history. And a sickening whisper campaign was held too. then during the televised SC debate, McCain, weakly and timidly, scolded and reprimanded Bush for these tactics. And then Bush responded, with McCain still talking, and Bush then talked over him by saying sternly, "Let me finish, let me finish." Now imagine, if at that moment, the legendary McCain temper had come forth, and then he loudly and correctly denounced Bush, with great quivering emotion, we, all Americans, perhaps wouldn't have suffered through the worst presidency in the last 7 years. McCain had just been viciously smeared and attacked and all he can do is scold Bush?!?!?! No, sir, you should have said to that idiot Bush: "No, Gov Bush, you ARE finished." And without a doubt that would've taken care of Bush as the petulant brat frat boy presidential stain that he is. Instead, McCain just let Bush walk all over him. Take a look at the press conference from Wednesday. The same body language, the same timidity, the same letting Bush talk all over him, was exhibited by McCain. You, sir, were the right version in 2000, and would've made a better president than W will ever dream about. But now, after you've sucked up to Bush since then, reversed yourself on many issues, all at the expense of your 'maverick' status, you want that job so badly you can just taste it. Well, taste away because you don't deserve it now. You, Senator, yes you, are partly responsible for the abomination that is the Bush presidency. I won't vote for you and will encourage others not to also. The GOP doesn't deserve to keep the WH by sicking Bush on us. Shame on them. But I know they really don't care. I will be counting the days until W is gone and 'putting his feet up' in Crawford as a private citizen. But to take his place, hopefully will be a breath of fresh air, real change: Barack Obama.

In case you missed it Hillary Clinton endorsed McCain over Obama once again. She's starting to sound more like Bush everyday.
In a Cabinet-style setting, surrounded by retired military leaders, Sen. Hillary Clinton said the public should ask whether Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama has met the criteria needed to become the nation’s commander in chief.
“I think that since we now know Sen. (John) McCain will be the nominee for the Republican Party, national security will be front and center in this election. We all know that. And I think it’s imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold,” the New York senator told reporters crowded into an infant’s bedroom-sized hotel conference room in Washington.
“I believe that I’ve done that. Certainly, Sen. McCain has done that and you’ll have to ask Sen. Obama with respect to his candidacy,” she said.
This is the last straw for me . I was willing to vote for her (holding my nose) should she eventually win the nomination but after to days statement I will sit out the Presidential election rather then vote for someone willing to torpedo the Dems to further her personal ambition. Screw her.
Its a sad thing to say, but Hilary seems to have forgotten what being a democrat is all about.
I was on the fence before, but now it's Obama and fuck that neocon-lite Hitlery.
ferrofluid @ 54:
I have too admit,I find this very disturbing.(if you're referring to the comment made by her about McCain and Obama).

What would rate her anywhere near McCain, if she is speaking of political experience? She makes herself look like a damn fool. I've got $100 says if this woman is the Dem candidate, that the Dems lose. There is a long time till election day, and everyday she spouts something Bushlike.
ConcernedCanuck @ 61:
We could start a casino on the money we win.
Hillary and the DLC think its her turn to be president, shes been fast-tracking herself into the WH since becoming a senator.
The MSM use soft focus on her because of her age (its a female thing), shes almost unsalable on TV now, and in 2012 will be past her sell by date.
So she has this one chance at getting into the WH, and thats all she cares about.
If she had had a 20 plus year record of being in politics and being an outspoken and forward leader, she could run in 2012, but as she is mediocre and got most of her fame from being married to Bill, she is a one race horse.
The truth is the Democrat's have two people who could save our Country and the World. The only way to defeat the evil Bush Republicans and the Corporate Monsters, is for Obama and Clinton to be the Democratic ticket. This is the only way to neutralize the plague that has taken over our Country since 2000.
The goal of the main stream media in the United States is to "Divide and Conquer". They are trying to pit all Americans who are not brain-washed Bush Republicans to fight amongst each other.
Their ultimate goal of the Media is to get people to not vote because their choice came in second. They want African-Americans to stay home and not vote if Obama is not the Presidential choice for the Democrats. These monsters also want all the young people who registered to vote to get angry and retaliate by not voting if Obama is not picked. This is the master plan of the main stream media in this Country.
My family has been victimized by two Republican Governors, and a Justice Department chosen by Republicans.
Former Governor Jeb Bush and Current Governor Charlie Crist could care less about Rule of Law, Democracy, Families, Children, Seniors, or Human Rights.
Bush Republicans are fake Christians who feed on Death, Misery and Suffering. Our family's anguish and injustice inflicted upon us by the above mentioned is proof positive of what these people stand for.
We are just the first victims. If people don't stand up and stop this, we will not be the only victims.

People who are overdramatic usually tend to be nothing more than trolls or flamers. If you are not, I apologize. If you truly believe that either of these two candidates is gonna ride in on a white horse and slay the deficit, free the slaves, heal the sick, and end all wars, you are mistaken. At the end of the day, they are just politicians saying what they can to get elected. Compare them to used car salesmen. Is it better than a ReTHUG prez? Yep, no doubt about it. Are they gonna change the world? Not a chance.

Trust me on this. One got Bush the Presidency.
At the White House yesterday, John McCain was only too eager to accept George W. Bush's embrace, eight years ago John McCain told him to "take your hands off me."
For the details of how John McCain suppressed his seething Bush hatred in his eternal quest for the presidency, see:

Hitler's Silly Dance
In June 1940 Hitler accepted the surrender of the French government at a ceremony in Compiegne, France. He melodramatically insisted on receiving France's surrender in the same railroad car in which Germany had signed the 1918 armistice that had ended World War One.
After Hitler accepted France's surrender, he stepped backwards slightly, as if in shock. But this is not what the audiences in the Allied countries saw who watched the movie-reel of the ceremony. Instead they saw Hitler dance a bizarre little jig after signing the documents, as if he were childishly celebrating his victory. The scene was played over and over again in movie theaters. Of course, Hitler had not done a little dance. Allied propagandists had simply looped the footage of Hitler's step backwards, so that it appeared as if he were dancing. The film clip served its desired purpose, which was to ridicule the Nazi leader.

The difference with Bush was that he was ridiculing himself.
This little softshoe that Bush did made me smile, and is actually among the top 3 best things he's ever done in his entire presidency.

If it's illegal to use White House e-mail for political purposes, and if it's illegal to use White House telephones to raise money for candidates, then how in the world is it legal to campaign for a presidential candidate at a White House press conference?
McCain is going to lose -- big time. I like to see Bush get impeached, heavily fined, and dancing in a jail cell preferably with Cheney.
