A fundraiser headlined by President Bush for John McCain has been called off due to poor ticket sales and expected anti-war protests.
Sources familiar with the situation said the fundraising event, scheduled for Tuesday in the Phoenix Convention Center, was not selling enough tickets…
They added that there were also concerns about higher presence of anti-war protesters outside the venue than the number of people attending the fundraiser inside the arena…
Tee hee.

Here is what Gary Shapiro CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) said: Dvorak's writing sings with insight and clarity. Whether or not you agree with John's views, he will get you thinking and is never boring. These essays are worth the read!

One would hope the proportion continues right through Election Day.
My optimism is countered pretty thoroughly by cynicism – and confidence in the ignorance and cowardice of American voters.
Is that photoshopped? The warm embrace.
No need to Photoshop. They love each other.
Best caption: “McCain hugs Bush. Dips himself in iodine afterwords.”
Tee hee is right. The best thing the Chimperor-in-Chief could do for the Repug party is to stick his head in the mud until after November.
I sure hope the lousy ticket sales and threats of protests gave the Republican party bigwigs a good, loud, wakeup call that they’re in deep crap this November. They’ve got a lot to fix.
Why would anyone give money to McCain after his hectoring about taking the money out of politics?

Not that much when you think about it… “fix” a few key voting machines with the aid of Repug pals at Diebold and the election is in the bag.
This could never happen at an Obama rally. Who would protest the Messiah? Plus, his audiences are much bigger,with even dead people attending.
‘On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.’

10, no need to get pissy. worship me.

#9 that quote of seeing dead people is of Obama.
Why is that chickenhawk giving speeches on Memorial Day?

Bush’s best chance to raise donations from ordinary working people would be to climb into the seat of a dunk tank.
McCain had better run from W if wants to win this election.

#9: Spit-take of the day! Thank you, sir!
#7: Damn. You’re right, of course. An honest election… what was I thinking!
#19, Gary,
Good point. Depending upon the size of the fair, he could raise at least $30 and maybe as much as $50.
Deadly Embrace for McCain – or should we call him McBush, you know, CONTINUING THE TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH, 100 YEARS WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST, DESTROYING SOCIAL SECURITY – THE SAME OLD REPUKE/NEO-CON BULL CRAP !!!
>>Deadly Embrace for McCain
Yeah, remember the Kiss Of Death Bush gave to Lieberman? It lost him the Dem nomination, and forced him to become an Independent. He was able to pull the election off by the skin of his teeth, but he would have been a shoe-in had he kept Dumbya’s lips off of his face.
McCain, on the other hand, is nothing more than Bush III, and he’s toast. No matter how badly Obama and Hillery batter each other until the nomination, Bush III is toast.
