Yep.

From Mike Allen’s Playbook at www.politico.com/playbook/:

“Sen. John McCain on Wednesday blasted President Bush for building a mountain of debt for future generations, failing to pay for expanding Medicare and abusing executive powers, leveling his strongest criticism to date of an administration whose unpopularity may be dragging the Republican Party to the brink of a massive electoral defeat. 'We just let things get completely out of hand,’ he said of his own party's rule in the past eight years. In an interview with The Washington Times, Mr. McCain lashed out at a litany of Bush policies and issues that he said he would have handled differently as president, days after a poll showed that he began making up ground on Sen. Barack Obama since he emphatically sought to distance himself from Mr. Bush in the final debate. ‘Spending, the conduct of the war in Iraq for years, growth in the size of government, larger than any time since the Great Society, laying a $10 trillion debt on future generations of America, owing $500 billion to China, obviously, failure to both enforce and modernize the [financial] regulatory agencies that were designed for the 1930s and certainly not for the 21st century, failure to address the issue of climate change seriously,’ Mr. McCain said in an interview with The Washington Times aboard his campaign plane en route from New Hampshire to Ohio. ‘Those are just some of them,’ he said with a laugh, chomping into a peanut butter sandwich as a few campaign aides in his midair office joined in the laughter.”

Hard to add anything to that assessment...Thanks Senator McCain and to all the congressional Republicans for providing such great oversight during the Bush years. As you wander around looking for new jobs, maybe you should consider including on your resume that for the last 8 years you leaned on a shovel smoking cigarettes while our democracy crumbled.
