Opinion: Look quickly! It’s Bush and McCain together ever so briefly

President Bush, he of the toxic public approval ratings, was in Phoenix tonight as the star attraction of a Republican National Committee fundraiser to benefit the presidential campaign of Arizona Sen. John McCain.

It was at a private residence and closed to the public and press.

That way, see, there’s fewer photos and less film footage for the Democrats to use to prove that a McCain presidency would be Bush III.

But McCain needs the money Bush can still harvest from loyal Republicans.

Here’s the press pool report’s closing paragraph on the president’s departure:

‘The two men were seen together in public for a total of 47 seconds, according to a review of the video. They were on the tarmac together for a total of 26 seconds.’

They did, however, wave to each other.
