The Wall Street Journal’s Laura Meckler writes that President Bush and John McCain’s joint fund-raiser in Phoenix tomorrow will be the “first time in three months” the two will be seen together. But the McCain campaign is trying its hardest to ensure cameras don’t capture the moment:
The pair will be seen together before TV cameras only fleetingly, at the airport as Mr. Bush departs on Air Force One, and there are no plans for either to formally say anything. [...]
A senior adviser to Sen. McCain said the campaign considered the risk of having the candidate appear with the president at all but concluded there was no way to avoid it given that the event was in Sen. McCain’s home state.
A McCain adviser underscored that “the time Sen. McCain spends with the president will be limited.”
too late mcLame…there are at least several dozen pictures floating around plus some video…im working on compiling them and putting them on yourtube, set to the song “together forever”…
tying these two imbeciles together at everyone opportunity will sink McLame
anybody got a good pic, post a link please! heh
May 26th, 2008 at 10:22 pmJohn is promoting a Third Bush Administration and doesn’t want a photo op with him.. That is priceless. You have got to love the irony. It couldn’t happen to a more deserving person. Sometimes there is divine justice..
May 26th, 2008 at 10:24 pmAre they actually going to pretend that if we don’t see the two of them together this time, we will all forget the many, many times that McCain has supported Bush when he was totally, 100% in the wrong?
May 26th, 2008 at 10:26 pmWhat? You mean McCain isn’t going to wear his I “heart” George shirt either?
May 26th, 2008 at 10:29 pmYou mean like this CJ?

May 26th, 2008 at 10:36 pmToo late, way too late.
And even if you don’t want to be seen with him, wanting to continue his failed, miserable, horrific, immoral policies is much more damning.

May 26th, 2008 at 10:38 pmIf McCain is afraid to be seen with President Bush…
May 26th, 2008 at 10:42 pmWhat else would he be afraid of?
Do we really want such a man to be President of the United States?
Don’t be afraid John. Face your fears!
Like peas in a pod:

Ah hell, this is too easy.
May 26th, 2008 at 10:42 pmWhere is the pic of the two of them with McCain’s illegitimate love child? Why would anyone pal around with anyone who disrespected their family in such a way?
May 26th, 2008 at 10:45 pmi think this says it all.
May 26th, 2008 at 10:48 pmCome November Americans will see Bush and McAnger as though they were conjoined twins.
Not to mentioned the never missed huggys and kisses between the twins the past 8 years.

May 26th, 2008 at 10:48 pmSeems like they are going to a lot of effort to NOT be seen together… which must cost more money, and perhaps defeat their whole purpose, that of raising funds…
May 26th, 2008 at 10:49 pmHow can John McAnger deal with Al Qeda if he is afraid to be seen with George W. Bush?

May 26th, 2008 at 10:50 pmOl’ Johnny McLame wants to have it all ways.
No, John, you CAN’T be president.
May 26th, 2008 at 11:04 pmYea, with ONLY a 95% voting record of supporting the Bush Administration Agenda, being SEEN with him is the LEAST of his problems . . . besides we have enough pictures of the “twins” to fill a Yearbook . . .
May 26th, 2008 at 11:15 pmdbadass,
You have it exactly right. If McCain were someone worth your respect, if he respected himself he would have never let Bush be part of his life,
Thank Jebus too, because if McCain had had the balls to smack down little Georgie, he would have earned enough respect that he could give Obama a run for his money, Instead he pulled up his skirts and showed us the loose lips of a whore.
See ya Johnnny, you have nothing buddy. Nothing.
May 26th, 2008 at 11:17 pmI want a picture of him smelling the other armpit this time.
May 26th, 2008 at 11:27 pmMaybe McCain doesn’t realize that this new-fangled invention called a “camera” captures images, so that others may then observe them.
Maybe he can find his soul inside the camera…
May 26th, 2008 at 11:38 pmHAHAHA And the conservatives think he is a coward for doing this. McCain is SO toast in this election. What an old fool.
May 26th, 2008 at 11:51 pmYou can run, McSame,but you can’t hide. Dubya is forever tattoed to your worthless ass.
May 26th, 2008 at 11:58 pm>You mean like this CJ?
Yes, good stuff,,keep em commming, i hadnt seen about 25 percent of the pics posted so far…
May 27th, 2008 at 12:00 amDNfP,
May 27th, 2008 at 12:00 amNo wonder the McC campaign is so short on funds. At 50 grand a pic, he must have been bled dry.
Let me see if I have this right. McCain was winning in 2000 election told to give his votes to Bush. McCain sold out to the voters for the Crime Team. Now McCain can’t fill a large area in his own State for fund raising so he uses someone’s home to hide a meeting with the Liar-in-Chief. As seen in Africa President Bush has to pay people to cheer for him. Now the only money McCain will get is from those who have to get rid of money for tax reasons. As far as the Big Spenders their busy that day. McCain can’t even get support from the people of Arizona why should the rest of the US vote for him. I just hope he doesn’t have another cancer surgery like he had in Feb. 2008 it might be harder to hide this time.
May 27th, 2008 at 12:00 amJackie – from my understanding, and I could be wrong – you can’t deduct campaign contributions. Unless of course you’re cheating – and that explains everything.
May 27th, 2008 at 12:13 am#22 – And the tattoo on his ass is George’s lips.
May 27th, 2008 at 12:49 amToo little, too late for Grampa Mcmetamucil. He sold himself to the devil with that bear hug.
May 27th, 2008 at 1:12 amYou think being a pariah sits well with a narcissist like bush? I don’t think so either.
May 27th, 2008 at 1:59 amNext, any ideas on the next anger eruption by the fartful codger? I lose sleep wondering sometimes.
> Instead he pulled up his skirts and
> showed us the loose lips of a whore.
wow. thanks to that image i dont think i’ll be getting aroused anytime this year…
May 27th, 2008 at 4:07 amClinton has taken Kentucky and Obama is right there in Oregon.
The Democratic race for nomination is still very much alive – and most likely to be decided by superdelegates – as CNN points out clearly
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/20/primary.wrap/index.html
If you’re tired of waiting around for those super delegates to make a decision already, go to LobbyDelegates.com and push them to support Clinton or Obama
If you haven’t done so yet, please write a message to each of your state’s superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com
Obama Supporters:
Sending a note to current Obama supporters lets them know it’s appreciated, sending a note to current Clinton supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Obama, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Obama. It’s that easy…
Clinton Supporters too …. !
It takes a moment, but what’s a few minutes now worth to get Clinton in office?! Those are really worth !

May 27th, 2008 at 6:29 amWhat a legacy Bush will have….
May 27th, 2008 at 7:12 amThe Democratic race for nomination is still very much alive?
Obama needs 49 delegates (got 6 over the weekend to Clinton’s 1) and Clinton needs 249.
Sure – its still very much alive if the superdelegates plan on stealing it from Obama. A large part of the population will be very unhappy with that result.
I use to be a Clinton supported until I started counting up the lies she has told – not to mention the gutter politics and her inferior staff. I don’t like liars – and I don’t want another liar in the WH.
But very much alive? I doubt it.
May 27th, 2008 at 7:20 amIt’s already been mentioned several times throughout the comments that McCain will have problems distancing himself from Bush, so I won’t add my two cents on that subject.
What I want to know is this: Why is Bush using Air Force 1 to fly to fund raisers? Isn’t that illegal?
May 27th, 2008 at 8:18 amSay what? You mean to tell me the “war hero” is too much of a coward to be seen with the most despised President in history? Never knew McCain was a chickenhawk in drag.
May 27th, 2008 at 8:19 amWhat I want to know is this: Why is Bush using Air Force 1 to fly to fund raisers? Isn’t that illegal?
That’s a very good question. They will probably have Bush fly some place to do something “official” so that the trip isn’t purely for campaign purposes. They will, as is always done (even by Clinton, I’m sure) follow the letter, if not the spirit, of the law.
Then if they get too much criticism for doing this, they will respond back with something like, “Well, would you rather he pollute the environment more by making two separate trips?” (This is meant to frame the discussion around the idea that both trips were necessary in the first palce, which they are not.)
May 27th, 2008 at 8:39 amJust wait till corporate george is out of office, then they’ll really keep their distance.
May 27th, 2008 at 8:49 amSometimes people just, well, aren’t quite as ‘on target’ as they’d like to be.
I think McSame has to reimburse the taxpayers for use of AF1. Not sure how that works…
May 27th, 2008 at 8:53 amWe do not need another four years of skulking around in the dark type of executive branch leadership. The GOP are dead in the water and the only thing that could revive them is Democratic Party stupidity. Sad part is, the Dems are truly capable of F’ing this up.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:00 amFrom all of the pictures I have seen, it looks like you need a crow-bar to separate John McAnger from George W. Warmonger.
They look ready for a civil union for heaven’s sake.

May 27th, 2008 at 9:08 amWhy so subtle chingebush? We get the point and I totally agree that McCain whored himself by hugging Boy George like that. Bush is an anchor around McCain’s neck and will drag his ass to the bottom of the swamp. With the rest of the Repugs.
That’s their roots, down in the black muck and slime of a swamp.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:12 amWhat! No hugging and armpit sniffing?
May 27th, 2008 at 9:24 amSo McSame is trying to ensure that cameras don’t catch him with his President?
Boy, this guy’s cagey. I’m sure that will work.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:55 amrepublicans that never learn that being two-faced never seems to work.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:07 amThere will be lots of kissy-kissy behind closed doors.
May 27th, 2008 at 11:18 amI am still rather nervous that the amoral repug marketing team will still be able to pull a fast one and get McAncient into office.
