George W. Bush believes that Sarah Palin is unqualified to be president, and “thinks less of John McCain as a man” for having put her on his ticket:
The 43rd President has told friends the ex-Alaska governor isn’t qualified to be President and criticizes Arizona Sen. John McCain for putting Palin on the 2008 GOP ticket and handing her a national platform.
“Naming Palin makes Bush think less of McCain as a man,” a Republican official familiar with Bush’s thinking told the Daily News.
“He thinks McCain ran a lousy campaign with an unqualified running mate and destroyed any chance of winning by picking Palin.”
Perhaps this will help the former president forgive his own Number Two for keeping him on such a tight leash.
