And they call Obama "presumptuous"?
Notice how certain pundits don't call it presumptuous when it's a 72-year-old white guy who decides that he's already the president.
Maybe they don't have a synonym for "uppity white guy."
From Financial Times: "McCain condemnation upstages Bush"
By Edward Luce and Andrew Ward in Washington, August 11 2008
"It took four days and a growing chorus of criticism from conservatives before George W. Bush on Monday matched John McCain’s tough stance on Russia. Having on Monday morning again been upstaged by the Republican presidential candidate, who had called for the US administration to come together with its allies in “universal condemnation of Russian aggression” in Georgia, Mr Bush finally followed suit. [..]"
Which spurred George "Macaca" Allen to go on Fox and explain why McCain's gonzo tactics of trying to get us into a nuclear confrontation with Russia shows why we have to elect him president right now.
John McCain comes across as even more hard-line than Bush.
What is wrong with this picture? A lame-duck president who first sides with the opponent to his party’s nominee ... and then comes around to seeing the spot-on logic in his would-be-successor’s stance?
It looks like just about everybody thought the Georgians needed to show some restraint...except John McCain. That shows the kind of president he'd make.
About the only time McCain is ever honest, is when he’s ranting about war and bombing.
I'm telling you--just as Bush made us look back fondly on Reagan, so too would a President McCain make us yearn for the good ol' days of George W...
But hey, if he wants to make the case that he would be more war-crazy than Bush, be my guest. This country is sick to death of war and he'll get his ass kicked. See if I care.
