George W. Bush. And Did I Forget To Mention George W. Bush?
People used to mock Rudy Giuliani (boy that seems a long time ago) for his answers in the Republican debates. No matter the question, he'd reply "9/11, 9/11, 9/11."
Not a bad gag (the first 100 times), but it masked a fear that they'd just as soon not have the people reminded of national security issues. Pretty much like how they feel about John McCain, whose alleged toughness in facing our enemies is his strong suit. So they hope to tie him to our unpopular President, whether it fits or not.
Look at their response to McCain's recent speech on Iraq. Both Obama and Howard Dean replied, as far as I could make out, "George W. Bush, George W. Bush, George W. Bush."

The mocking of Rudy Giuliani had very little to do with national security and very much that he attempted to personally capitalize on it as his moment in the sun.
The George Bush refrain on McCain is good (in terms of effective)politics to show similarities as the name carries one of the most negative connotations in politics at this moment. Won't others do the same with Jeremiah Wright on Obama?
That was Joe Biden's one shining moment in the sun during this campaign. He said every sentence from Giuliani consists of "a noun, a verb, and 9/11." Pure, devastating satire: once you had it in your head, you couldn't help but laugh every time you heard Giuliani speak.
