... Ken Mehlman is now acting as an UNPAID outside advisor to the McCain campaign, at least until the war chest gets a few more pieces of Gold. Mehlman probably feels right at home with former Bush Pit Bull, Steve Schmidt, George's personal attack dog, and media propagandist (Bush preferred the term media strategist) Mark McKinnon. Rounding out McCain's top four on this political Team of Terror if everything unfolds right is the evil master mind himself, Karl Rove ...
The list of Bush operatives looking to align themselves with McCain, get in line for big salaries or positions in his administration is growing with each passing hour. The buzz has former top aide to the President Dan Bartlett and political adviser Sara Taylor letting the McCain camp known they are willing to swear fealty to John and Cindy McCain. Taylor has gone so far as to state, "The Bush Republicans here in town are excited for John McCain." ...
The McSame strategy is simple...put enough key Bushites in position to appease George W. Bush's army of rabid right wing conservatives and evangelicals, then as the McSame Express moves into the fall election, prop McCain up as his own man and hope it fools the American Public, even if that means playing cat and mouse by having some of these Bush Puppet Masters operating outside the public view, away from the press. George W. Bush fooled the nation twice, surely we are not so foolish as to be fooled a third time? Are we?
