McCain Stabs Bush In Back!!!
McCain: Bush Pursuit of Iraq a 'Train Wreck'
Proving that presidential infighting isn't just for Democrats, Republican front-runner Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., took several sharply worded shots at the Bush administration this week, distancing himself from an unpopular president and an unpopular war while wooing the right Republicans who put the president in power and once before denied McCain the White House.

McCain's latest anti-Bush tirade came during a joint appearance Wednesday in California with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican.

The two leaders met to discuss energy and the environment, but the subject turned to Iraq.

Though McCain is a staunch supporter of the president's plan to add troops in Iraq, the 2000 Bush foe and 2008 contender called Bush's initial pursuit of the Iraq War "a train wreck" and labeled the administration's record on global warming as "terrible."

During McCain's appearance with Schwarzenegger on the docks of the Los Angeles Harbor, the senator recalled "no cooperation from the administration" at recent Senate hearings on global warming and described Bush's recent commitment to global warming as "long overdue."

1. Let's see, did McCain back Kerry's 3 calls for Rumsfeld to be fired in 2003 and 2004?
Nope. He sided with Bush and along with many bigname Democrats refused to backup Kerry's call for Rumsfeld to go.

Gee - what were they waiting for?

3. Weather Vane McLame.
Cheney claimed that McLame ran up to him and apologized about McLame's remarks regarding Rumsfailed.

Did McLame hug him too?

8. I had an idea for a great anti-McCain commercial
Focus on a record player ...

Voice-over/text: "John McCain's greatest hits ... on RECORD!"

VO: "On Torture:"; show record playing, play audio of McCain being against it ... hands pick up record and turn it over; record plays, plays audio of McCain voting to allow it ...

VO: "On Donald Rumsfeld:" record plays, audio is of McCain saying what a great job Rumsfeld was doing; hands turn LP over; record plays, plays audio of McCain calling Rumsfeld "worst" ...

...

VO: "Get it now, from the Straight Talk Collection!"
