Substitute "Bush" for "McCain"

Sound familiar? From the AP newswire --

McCain's policy on fundraisers: Close them

PHOENIX (AP) — John McCain prides himself on being a remarkably transparent presidential candidate, with rolling news conferences on his "Straight Talk Express" campaign bus and an open-door policy when it comes to the media.

Yet, the door closes tightly on the Republican's fundraisers.

News organizations for months have pressed McCain's campaign to at least allow a small group of reporters — called "poolers" in media-speak — into events where McCain typically makes a few remarks to the high-rollers donating to his White House bid.

The campaign has resisted with little to no explanation.
