Republican 2008 front-runners cozying up to racist George Allen

As if it weren't bad enough that "Mr. Straight Talk" has embraced a man whose campaign operatives attacked his own family; as if it weren't bad enough that "Mr. Straight Talk" and "Mayor America" are both now shamelessly fellatingthe Christofascist Zombie Brigade in their efforts to repeal to Republican primary voters in 2008, it appears that they're now stumping for unabashed Conferate racists as well:

President Bush's lackluster approval ratings may not help U.S. Sen. George Allen's run for re-election. But Allen gladly will lean on Bush's fundraising prowess to fatten a campaign war chest that already dwarfs that of his Democratic challenger.

Allen's campaign confirmed Tuesday that Bush will headline an Aug. 23 fundraiser for Allen at the Northern Virginia home of Ed Gillespie, the treasurer of Allen's political action committee and a former chairman of the Republican National Committee. The private event will be Bush's first appearance this year for Allen, who is battling Democratic nominee James Webb.

Sen. John McCain of Arizona will campaign with Allen next week in Norfolk, and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani will appear for a fundraising event at the end of the month. Like Allen, both are considered potential 2008 presidential candidates.

Yup, let's have Johnny and Rudy and Georgia all do the macacarena together. Chuck Hagel is looking better every day.
