Bush Backs McCain, Jazz Hands and All
Just moments ago, President George W. Bush — who's one of the least popular people on the planet and not polling well on Mars, either — announced his support of GOP candidate John McCain.
You'd think getting endorsed by someone 70% of American voters hate would be a drag, and it would be, except POTUS = DOLLAS…
"He'll have the [Republican National Committee] behind him. He'll have a broad base of financial support. It's a big step," said Alex Castellanos, a GOP strategist and CNN contributor.
A senior administration official concurred Wednesday, saying Bush will raise "a lot of money" for McCain.
McCain expressed his gratitude for Bush's backing by showing up late to the White House, leaving the president momentarily alone with reporters who wanted to photograph the big handshake…
[Bush] smiled a bit, but no McCain. He did a mock soft shoe dance. "I'm just going to tap dance a little," the leader of the free world said. [...]"Let's start over," an amused Bush told the reporters, turning on his heels and heading back into the White House. "Pretend like it never happened."
It's as if he read my mind.

Guess McCain wasn't all that grateful to the Prez, since he already won the party's nomination despite the GOP backing Romney earlier in the campaign. It's a sign of how well McCain thinks of Dubya.
