If one were to ask most Americans the biggest failures of the Bush administration the list would be fairly large and varied. I suspect that Katrina, Iraq, Mission Accomplished, the outing of a CIA agent for political purposes, etc.
One could go on forever. For McCain Bush's biggest mistake was not vetoing budgets bills during his last seven years. Budgets that John McCain voted for year after year.
But, earlier in his administration, when the Republicans controlled Congress, Bush routinely signed budgets that included pork-barrel projects and earmarked spending.
"That was probably the biggest mistake the Bush administration made," McCain said Tuesday.

If that's not a pair to draw to.
Dumb and Dumbest.
The biggest mistake Bush made was thinking that he was competent enough to be "prezudunt".
Can't we impeach him yet????
McCain supported the interests of the Disabled American Veterans 20 percent.
· Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave McCain a grade of D.
· McCain sponsored or co-sponsored 18 percent of the legislation favored by the The Retired Enlisted Association.
· Clinton supported the interests of the Disabled American Veterans 80 percent.
· Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave Clinton a grade of A-.
· Clinton sponsored or co-sponsored 41 percent of the legislation favored by the The Retired Enlisted Association in 2006.
· Obama supported the interests of the Disabled American Veterans 80 percent.
· Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave Obama a grade of B+.
· Obama sponsored or co-sponsored 12 percent of the legislation favored by the The Retired Enlisted Association.
These are not minor issues. These are issues of utmost importance to veterans. And you can see that both Democratic candidates outpaced McCain by a long shot in nearly every category.
I never could figure out why McCain would allow himself to be photographed partying with Bush when literally millions of our countrymen were homeless and abandoned in New Orleans under the worst possible conditions.
Don't these Republicans ever bother to think of anyone but themselves? You would have thought McCain would have been horrified by the images he was seeing on the TV scene and questioned why Bush showed up Arizona with a birthday cake.
Instead he acted thrilled by the attention and was oblivious to the suffering.
There are close ties of indifference between Bush and McCain which cannot be dennied. These self-styled men of compassion just don't relate to those outside of their elitist circle of power and influence.
No wonder McCain doesn't see the suffering in the Middle East and has pledged to keep it going for a hundred more years.

UPDATE: The conservative American Spectator says the NYT had this story over a month ago but McCain threatened to sue them. If the Times if running with the story now, after holding off for 5 weeks, it means they nailed it with more witnesses. Actually, this goes back two months.
UDPATE: McCain refuses to deny an affair or that his staff had to intervene.
