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. Why so subtle chingebush?

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?"
