I am old enough to remember Robert Kennedy’s funeral
And I am old enough to remember JFK’s funeral. He was shot on Friday, body flown to DC that evening. Saturday & Sunday, lie in state at the Capitol, funeral/burial on Monday. There was wall-to-wall coverage on virtually every over-the-air TV station (all we had back then).

As long as we know where his carcass is, some day it can be dug up and thrown in a landfill somewhere. Long term goal for his remains.

He received his injuries from not following proper procedure for ejection.

They better put a chain link fence around his grave with at least a six foot margin because some people can piss that far.

I’d agree. This is absurd. Fat Teddy didn’t even get nearly this much attention, despite being the darling of Dems.
But what is most absurd is the lowering of the Flag. For a week.
I am SO sick of our flag being lowered for every damn thing. It’s disgusting and embarrassing, symbolizing constant weakness.

John can be a failure and on the wrong side of things even after death. McCain left all honor in the Hilton.
To: Afterguard
Hope was McCain eligible to be buried at the USNA?

Was anyone really offended? I suppose McCain is one small rung on the ladder above Jane Fonda, but that isn’t much of a positive. Just think when Kerry (he served in viet nam you know) craps out we can go through the whole circus again.

"They better put a chain link fence around his grave with at least a six foot margin because some people can piss that far." I'll have to go on a windy day, after a 12 pack....

Actually, he was severely injured when his plane crashed.

Not even close.
McCain's funeral was at best an eight day affair. He died on 8/25 and was finally buried on 9/1, 8 days after he died-a while but rather quick when compared to just recently deceased ...Aretha.
Ms. Franklin breathed her last on 8/16 and her funeral show ended on 8/31, 16 days later. A full 8 days beyond the pomp accorded McCain.
