Bush: McCain's got some convincing to do

(CNN) – In an interview broadcast Sunday, President Bush offered to help Sen. John McCain make his case to conservatives if he becomes the Republican presidential nominee, saying there is "no doubt" McCain is a "true conservative."

Speaking to "Fox News Sunday," the president said McCain is "very strong" on national defense, "tough fiscally," wants to make Bush's tax cuts permanent, and opposes abortion rights. "His principles are sound and solid as far as I'm concerned," the president said.

Bush is not endorsing a candidate. He also had praise for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, calling him "a good, solid conservative person."

The president weighed in on the Democratic race, saying it "seems far from over to me." And he rejected criticism of former President Clinton's work on the campaign trail for Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.

"I can understand why President Clinton wants to campaign hard for his wife. And those accusations that Bill Clinton's a racist, I think is just wrong. I just don't agree with it."

As for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., Bush said, "I certainly don't know what he believes in.

"The only foreign policy thing I remember he said was he's going to attack Pakistan and embrace Ahmadinejad."

Obama said last summer that as president he would consider unilateral military action against sites in Pakistan. "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf will not act, we will," he said.

The remark at the time sparked criticism from fellow Democrats and from the Pakistani government. Obama said he stood by it.

Film van Paris een flop

'The hottie and the nottie' lijkt op een grote flop uit te draaien. De film van Paris Hilton heeft op de premièredag in de Verenigde Staten slechts 6000 euro opgebracht. En dat terwijl de hotelerfgename een promotietour van drie weken maakte om de film aan de man te brengen.

De 26-jarige Paris was te zien op de rode lopers van het Sundance filmfestival om aandacht te vestigen op haar film. Verder ging ze langs bij de talkshow van David Letterman en TRL van MTV om de film te pluggen. Maar het heeft allemaal niet geholpen.

Eerder flopte ook de nieuwe film van Jessica Simpson. Haar film 'Blond ambition' werd op de premièredag door slechts 48 Amerikanen bekeken en had een omzet van 267 euro.
