John McCain Must Really Dislike George W. Bush

I know it's a little late, what with the election a month behind us, but I've been thinking lately about how much John McCain must really hate George W. Bush. If I were John McCain, I know I, my friends, would have spent the last month just stewing in my hate juice for the man.

I mean George W. Bush essentially destroyed John McCain's hopes for the presidency, not once, but twice.

First in the 2000 Republican primary, by spreading false rumors in South Carolina about how McCain had supposedly fathered a black child out of wedlock.

And now, in 2008, by being so unbelievably despised by the entire solar system (Neptune is seeing a political realignment like you wouldn't believe), that the mere fact that he and McCain had been photographed in the same room together, doomed McCain's chances from the start.

If there is anything that George W. Bush should feel good about, it's that he beat John McCain both by being a successful campaigner and by being a terrible president. And that's hard to do.

George W. Bush, I salute you.
