Where's Dubya?

Interesting how the media doesn't find the incredible shrinking president's absence from the campaign trail--really, about the one thing he did even half-competently--at all unusual.

Oh, sure, I suppose you could make the case that the Palin train wreck and the revelation of the real John McCain--an insecure, petty, petulant, mean-spirited bully projecting more than a chain of multiplexes--is, technically speaking, "the story," or at least the lede of the recent news cycles. But still--the fact that a sitting second term president is SUCH a kiss of death that the candidate dare not mention his name? Pretty damning.
