Dear Benevolent Supreme Being (On the off chance that you do exist)

Please, oh, please, oh please make this happen.

Watching Will Ferrell as George W. Bush on "Saturday Night Live" made me yearn for the real president on the road. His absence from the partisan political scene has left Ferrell's mocking sketch as the freshest impression we have of Bush in campaign mode.

Putting Bush on the campaign trail could be John McCain's final Hail Mary pass. The Republican nominee has done so little to distance himself from his party's president that he is stuck with him anyway. He's damned either way in the polls, with or without Bush speaking up for him, so McCain might as well gamble on Bush's campaigning skills among the Republican base.

Either Craig Crawford really wants to turn this race into a 10%+ landslide, or he has supplanted Doug Feith as the stupidest fucking guy on the face of the planet.

I'm doubting even Abraham Lincoln could win an election with Sarah Palin as his running mate, and George W Bush stumping for him. McCain certainly couldn't.
