I find it amusing that Bush thinks less of McCain as a man because he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. Set aside that Bush selected someone who shot someone in the face and never even bothered to apologize. Set aside that Bush didn’t have the balls to replace Cheney even after he lied to his face about his role in the Valerie Plame matter. Bush’s brand of politics made some form of Palinism inevitable. He built The Stupid. McCain merely deployed it. Now the whole Bush team is going around trying to put The Stupid out before it engulfs their 2012 primaries. Good luck with that.
