If you want to make a list George W. Bush’s friend and allies in the media it likely doesn’t include Maureen Dowd, Eugene Robinson or Peter Beinart. Yet the three of them seeing their hero Barack Obama floundering over the Ground Zero Mosque and the democrats on the defensive over their support of it expect George W. Bush to save the day:
There’s a new argument emerging among supporters of the Ground Zero mosque. Distressed by President Obama’s waffling on the issue, they’re calling on former President George W. Bush to announce his support for the project, because in this case Bush understands better than Obama the connection between the war on terror and the larger question of America’s relationship with Islam.
President Obama has spent most of his term in office bashing George W Bush and blaming him for everything except the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby. The democratic strategy for 2010 has been blame Bush, now they are waiting for him to save them.
President Bush has politely refrained from critique of the current administration, I can’t see him bailing out these people who will not show any gratitude for it, even if he was so inclined. Does that mean that they will blame Bush for any political problem caused by Obama’s statements? Well DUH!
Memeorandum thread here.
Update: Corrected some spelling mistakes
Update 2: I absolutely love Doug Powers headline at Michelle Malkin’s site
Update 3: I could copy and paste these headlines all day:

I musta missed this story. If Bush does come to the Big O’s defense it would confirm all those who said he was an idiot.
It’s funny how all those who praised Obama as an “intellectual” are now looking to the one they called an “idiot” to save their savior. I’m hoping Bush will stay out of it.
One foresees W handling this about like he did any other media bleat during his administration.
Its been a tough week but this story really made me laugh
