''Republican Sen. John McCain is skipping Bush's State of the Union address on Monday night even though Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton plan to attend.''
John McCain -- who looks like he's getting ready to do some pillow-biting in that picture there with George --comically tried to portray himself recently as the 'outside the beltway' candidate, and is now avoiding Bush like a bad case of flesh-eating disease.
C'mon John, snuggle up.
