Destroyer Endorses Dissembler

Bush,Conservatism,Elections 2008,John McCain

            

McCain is now officially Bush backed.

If “bad to the bone” Bush, the man who destroyed the GOP—the political instantiation of the conservative movement—says McCain is a “true conservative,” then he must be, right?
How will conservatives reconcile this endorsement from hell?
Haven’t they generally given Bush a pass, and faithfully touted him as the real deal?
