W is being shown because he is not running for President. If he was on the ballot this year, they would have waited to show the movie.
Perhaps so, but their mantra is to tie Bush to McCain and, IMHO, they know good and well what they are doing.
If W were on the ballot this year, they would have premiered it on prime time TV, commercial free, with reapeats following Sunday and Monday night Football.
Sure about that? How much money would it have brought in after January?
It’s the money. Politics is okay, provided it doesn’t foul the bottom line.
