Maybe McCain was just being funny?

[BloodyWilliam]

I mean... that hug was so crazy, and it made Bush look so unbelievably uncomfortable... maybe it was on purpose! A planned move to make Bush look creepy.

I think it kinda looked like a Mafia, Godfather-type hug myself.

1. McCain is a craven opportunist

His spine has slowly been extracted over the past four years by Bush. Standing up against the SwiftboatLiars was his last hurrah before sliding into obscurity. His only hope now is to pull a Brutus on Caesar Bush.

5. I used to almost like this guy -now he makes my skin crawl. n/t

8. He always made my skin crawl.

2. Would that that were true. I think they are following the leader and

walking in lockstep. Basic politics. No matter how much McCain may disagree with their position...he's still a Republican. :hi:

9. Exactly

Someone please explain that party loyalty thing to ZigZag Zell.

3. It was the reaction of a whipped dog.

All McCain didn't do was sniff Dubya's crotch.

[PsN2Wind]

7. I referred to it as

"humping his leg".

[BJ]

11. Hump leg. Sniff crotch. McCain's a cur in my book.

At one time I thought the man had an ounce of dignity; that he was a fair dealer.

No more.

4. The only ray of hope here

is that this is a "Judas" hug.

6. Get over it guys

Mc Cain is a Repuke. He'll do as he is told and is no different from the worse of them and in fact may be more slimey because so many are fooled. He's had ample opportunity to switch or become and Independent and remove himself from their party and won't.

10. McCain is a tired old man that the world is passing by

Leave him alone.

12. McCain, I believe is playing a devious game with Bu$h...

How does this look to you all. Cheney is dumped from the ticket and war hero McCain is drafted for the VP slot. After the election the Bu$h house of cards collapses, impeachment hearings begin, Bu$h resigns.
McCain, as last man standing, becomes president.
