The Bush Administration goes out as they ruled, flailing madly about and unable to keep their stories straight on items large and small.
Today’s sign of their decline: the partial collapse of a Bush fundraiser for the McCain campaign. In McCain’s hometown.
Ticket sales were bad, protesters loomed, so the thing shrank from the Phoenix Convention Center to a private home.
The White House made clear there was nothing to see here:
“A White House official said the event was being moved because the McCain campaign prefers private fundraisers and it is Bush administration policy to have events in public venues open to the media.”
A brisk dip into the past quickly found multiple Bush private, closed events.
