Tonight, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) will hold a private fundraiser in Phoenix with President Bush, an event McCain has desperately tried to hide from the public. CNN’s Ed Henry reports that the White House has scheduled another event during the trip to Arizona, resulting in American taxpayers paying for Bush to raise money for McCain:

BLITZER: Ed, who pays when the President goes to a fundraiser like this for John McCain? The McCain campaign or the American taxpayer?

HENRY: They both pay, Wolf. The bottom line is the President is trying to mix in a little official business today. He’s going to speak at cable company…short remarks. That justifies for the White House charging the taxpayers for some of this trip, and the McCain camp picks up the rest, Wolf.

Just like the Clinton administration. And the Reagan administration. And the Carter administration.

as well. their security is paid for by the taxpayers

If we had a Dem in office right now he would be campaigning for the next candidate as well. This isn't news.

Apropos of nothing, the new Google DU feature has been proven extremely useful in Defcon times.
