What about “Senator Government”

If he had added Big in that liner, I would have died from laughing so damn hard.

I am not President Bush.

Well, you got that right, "my friend"

You are not half the man, or leader, President George W. Bush has been. My thoughts toward you may be different if you were more like President Bush.

DNH...pffffttt!

McCain was just not closing his arguments.

This one was a good start.

But he might’ve added that he’s the only one in this race who actually ran against G W Bush!

How about a little humor:

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit
by a truck and dies.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

“Welcome to heaven,” says St. Peter. “Before you settle in, it
seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these
parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.”

“No problem, just let me in,” says the senator.

“Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we’ll do is
have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose
where to spend eternity.”

“Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,” says the
senator.

“I’m sorry, but we have our rules.”

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down,
down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a
green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are
all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him,
shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and
champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a
good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that
before he realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator
rises ...

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St.
Peter is waiting for him.

“Now it’s time to visit heaven.”

So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls
moving

from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good
time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter
returns.

“Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now
choose your eternity.”

The senator reflects for a minute, then answers: “Well, I would never
have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.”

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down
to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a barren
land covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and
putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above...

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. “I
don’t understand,” stammers the senator. “Yesterday I was here and there
was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank
champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland
full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?”

The devil looks at him, smiles and says.......

“Yesterday we were campaigning. Today you voted.”

“When he made the attack on the born-alive legislation, you saw a vertical drop in the dial groups that was pretty astounding,” the aide said. “People didn’t find it credible.”

This would have meant a lot to the GOP base

They keep running the clip of Zero mocking “Joe” at a rally today.

“Now he’s trying to suggest that a PLUMBER is the guy he’s fighting for.”

Hard working Joes all over America will love that back-handed insult, I’m sure.

[who knew that Zero considered plumbers to be so irrelevant and beneath him?]

I preface my remark with saying I am anything but a John McCain supporter.That being clear, it was fantastic of the Senator to finally bring that up. Whoever put it in his head, may have done more to pull him across the finish line than he has ever done!

I have been sitting back wondering when any Republican would jump up and have the cajones to say, I AM NOT BUSH!

The only people reacting negatively was the Obama team and the MSM

Other things he could have said:

George Bush was just a guy in my neighborhood. Our kids went to school together.

If I’m George Bush, you’re bill ayres (this traitor does not deserve caps for his name).

I didn’t know anything about George Bush’s policies.

"John McCain said, quickly and cleanly, 'Sen. Obama, I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago.'"

Not bad, Juan. Not bad at all. You may pull this thing out of your arse after all if you keep talking like this.

Exactly, I am voting for him, but I wish he would not remind me he is a shaddow of the towering figure G.W. Bush is.

Stalin would be more accurate.
