Arianna Huffington says that John McCain trashed Bush at a posh Hollywood dinner party in 2000 and claimed that he did not vote for the President. Her account was backed up by two "West Wing" actors, Bradley Whitford and Richard Schiff who were also at Candace Bergen's A-List gathering.
"McCain was just sort of going off on how much he disliked Bush and the horrible things that the Bush campaign had done to his family in South Carolina, and his exasperation with Bush about his ridiculous tax cuts and he really wanted to talk to him about it, but he said the guy doesn't have the concentration, and you talk for 10 minutes and then the guy wants to talk about baseball," Mr. Whitford said.
Another guest then asked Mr. McCain, Mr. Whitford recalled, whether he had voted for Mr. Bush. "And he put his finger in front of his mouth and mouthed, 'No way,'" Mr. Whitford said. (I can only imagine how tasty the whine must have been at this party!!.)
McCain's campaign ruthlessly attacked Huffington in response to the New York Times and Washington Post articles.
"She's a flake and a poser and an attention-seeking diva," Mark Salter, one of Mr. McCain's closest aides, told The Washington Post.
Ouch! I guess that is contrast to McCain, who in, my humble view, is a "fake, panderer and attention-seeking dork." In any case, his cozy relationship with Bush is clearly phony and based on political convenience. This is hardly the profile of a maverick and reveals that McCain is just another politician who will do anything to win an election - including embracing men such as Bush and Rev. Jerry Falwell.

Did you mean the not so reverend Hagee? I dont know why McCain feels he needs the endorsements of these cretins. Who else would the hagee crowd vote for, Obama or Hillary?
