WASHINGTON — Senator John McCain, the sometimes cantankerous, often charming and eternally irrepressible Republican from Arizona, has never minced words. But in the twilight of a long and storied career, as he fights a virulent form of brain cancer, the 81-year-old senator has found a new voice..
In twin speeches — one in July, where he issued a call to bipartisanship in the Senate, and another in Philadelphia this past week, where he railed against “half-baked, spurious nationalism” — Mr. McCain has taken on both his colleagues and President Trump. In the process, his friends and fellow senators say, he has carved out a new role for himself on Capitol Hill: elder statesman and truth-teller.
“Even if John were not ill, with his experience and age, there is a part of you that I think begins to focus on your legacy,” said former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., a close friend of Mr. McCain’s. But with cancer, Mr. Biden said, “he’s in the fight of his life, and he knows it.”

There will be another piece of Senate Republican dung to take his place. There always is.
IMO, the advent of Fox News (1996) was the spark that ignited the MSM self-immolation.
Certainly part of it. They went crazy covering up for Bill Clinton, to get him re-elected in 1996. It was horrifying to watch. The Senate refused to even look at the evidence presented to impeach him.
The cover-up of the Waco massacre was breathtaking.
This is exactly what @sshole McCain has always wanted, the love and adulation of the Slimes and the fake news media in general! This is his dying wish, what a malignant narcissist POS.
I’ve heard many people say, when someone is terminally ill, they revert to their inner true self. Sweet and kind people (like my dad) stay sweet and kind, and often become even sweeter. Angry and mean people grow angier and meaner. It’s obvious to everyone which kind of person John McCain is.
This the same man who angrily called his wife the c-word while running for POTUS. He thought he was out of range of the microphones. I am sure he’s using even more obscene language than ever on his wife.
........Soon he will will be back on the water, on a vessel slowly disappearing into permanent Stygian Darkness.
Can’t happen soon enough.
McCain has been “wonderful” to the leftists because he did everything he could to help I-I-bama get elected president.
Given the opportunity, I’d fetter the SOB with a right to his nasty mouth.
more like... petty, vindictive, old geezer, lashes out again.
What he is, is an ashhole with arms.
As for McCain, his wanting to bomb everyone might have set off WW III. I think American dodged a bullet when he lost.
I want him "fettered".
(maybe even tarred and fettered)
I can guarantee that President Trump eventually triumphs over Mccain.
Time for a recall election.
Thanks SMGFan.
