Lil' Bush Is Fucking John McCain

Sarah Silverman was doing it with Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel was doing it with Ben Affleck, so I guess it was inevitable that Lil' Bush would eventually do it with John McCain. My favorite line was the one about having McCain's black baby.

If you don't remember, during the 2000 Republican South Carolina primary voters got phone calls purporting to be pollsters asking how they felt about the various candidates. One of the questions was whether they would be more or less likely to support John McCain if they knew that he had fathered an illegitimate black child.

Now of course he had never done anything like this but he and his wife had adopted an infant Bangladeshi girl years earlier, so when people who had gotten the calls saw them on stage together voila, there was his Nubian love child. This despicable campaign practice is called push-polling: it's a way of spreading false information about a candidate while acting like you're just asking questions and taking down polling information. It was invented by Lee Atwater, a trusted advisor to Reagan and Bush I and a political mentor and close friend of Karl Rove's.

Bush II won the 2000 South Carolina primary, by the way. And now McCain will accept his endorsement and fundraising dollars because he's finally learned what side his bread is buttered on. Take it Lil' Bush:
