Why George W. Bush (hearts) John McCain…
Paul Begala has published THIRD TERM - Why George W. Bush (hearts) John McCain in paperback just in time for the final laps in this grueling race for the White House.
I never cared much for Begala. He was formerly a senior strategist for President Bill Clinton so that’s one big strike against him in my book. Still, I try to be open-minded so I’m reading it.
There are lots of photos of John McCain and George W. Bush hugging. That was rather disconcerting. I thought that John McCain was running against Washington? He never even mentioned George W. Bush during his acceptance speech the other day in St. Paul? I wonder where they got all of these photos?
The chapter titles say it all:
The Hug
McSame Old Thing
Economy: McWorse than Bush
Iraq-Bush on Steroids
Health Care: the McCain Plan won’t even Cover McCain
You get the idea. Another hatchet job on this bold maverick. I did chuckle at the section Things John McCain is Older Than…
Here’s the list: John McCain was born in 1936. That makes him older than:
the nylon toothbrush
the Republic of Ireland
the ballpoint pen
Teflon
the Margarita
LSD
Israel
fiberglass
M&M’s
Penicillin
color television
spray paint
the atom bomb
the credit card
Gosh, that’s quite the list! If this political landscape gets any more bizarre I just might have to have a Margarita. Or two…

Hmm. Looking at the publishing calendar I see it looks like you could post about nothing but political books for the next two months straight with no problem….
