Sen. John McCain’s return to Washington during key legislative deliberations has been curbed in part by concerns over the deadly flu season, his daughter Meghan said Wednesday.
In an interview with Politico’s “Women Rule” podcast, the Arizona Republican’s daughter said her father, recovering from chemotherapy for aggressive brain cancer and a viral infection in December, is taking precautions that are keeping him in Arizona.
“Part of the problem, too, is like it’s this deadly, crazy flu season,” said Meghan McCain, a co-host of “The View” on ABC. “And his immune system is so down, everybody is worried about him getting the flu.” This flu season could be the worst in a decade, with 12,000 confirmed hospitalizations since the fall, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report for the week ending Jan. 20.
McCain added that her father undergoes physical therapy at his cabin outside Sedona, focusing on his mobility following a tear in each Achilles’ tendon.
“Mentally, he’s 100 percent there,” she said. “It’s taken some time to get back to physical fighting form.”

OK, OK. I know you meanie-old FReepers hate McCain; but the daughter is smoking hot with the curves though. So give the old RINO some credit in co-creating a babe.
When he dies, will they inspect his brain to see why he was such a $&()&#^# and a total {^#%%}%~< ?????
I haven’t wished the best for McCain since he escaped prison when he took bribes from charles keating. Karma or justice is a bitch. He had his great ride, war hero, senator and got away with sabotaging his own state and his party. He is the poster boy for what is wrong with politics.
How long does it take to heal an torn tendon? When he left Washington D.C. the first of Dec. he was in a wheel chair..I doubt very much he is mobile at all..as for being 100% mentally fit..The Man has brain cancer...enough said...
Lol.
QUESTION....
Has there been any one in Congress reported to having the FLU? is there an epidemic of sick people in Congress?
Just wondering...
Sure Meghan.
He is a POS too. Can I add that? 👍😆
Too bad this traitorous, nasty, open borders, freak didn’t flat line and go subterranean years ago.
If McCain wants/needs to retire, June 1 of this year is the magic day.
If he’s out before June 1, his seat is up for election in 2018.
If he stays until June 1 or later, the governor is required to appoint a Republican, and the seat will not be up for election until 2020.
I’m truly embarrassed that I left it out.
Slow tonight :)
From the sound of it, the man won’t make it till June. I have zero respect for that man but it’s still sad for his family.
It’s ok.. They will come and pick him up in a helicopter. I didn’t say how he would come back down.
No one cares.
Drop dead, John.
If he’s worried about the flu, don’t!
The weather in Gitmo is really nice this time of year.
I know, it’s late. It’s already 3:15 Saturday afternoon here. Working nights again?
Has concerns about catching the flu stopped him from serving before? When was that? EVERY year has a flu season.
