St. Paul Billboards: John McCain Hugging George Bush
Satire By Robert Paul Reyes
Democrats are welcoming John McCain and the Republicans to St. Paul with billboards depicting John McCain warmly embracing President George W. Bush.
A picture speaks a thousand words and this one tells quite a story. McCain appears to have his eyes closed as he gives Bush a full-throated bear hug. McCain's endorsement of the Bush agenda is not superficial, he has voted with Dubya over 90% of the time.
Bush seems to be ignoring McCain, as he looks off into the distance. Nobody likes a yes man or a sycophant, even Bush is disgusted at McCain's unseemly adoration.
McCain needs to open his eyes and see the colossal failure of Bush's foreign policies in Iraq and Afghanistan. McCain needs to see that even three years after Katrina, New Orleans is still suffering from Bush's neglect.
McCain seems to be hanging onto Bush for support, the senior senator from Arizona is a physically and mentally weak person. McCain is too intellectually lazy to come up with his own platform, he is running as a clone of Bush. Not to put too fine a point on it, but McCain is too old to be president, his cancer-ravaged body will not hold up to the rigors of the White House.
The Billboard has the caption: More Politics As Usual. Does This Look Like Change To You? The caption is superfluous, the billboard tells the story.
