Vanity--McCain's coffin in Phoenix--crowd much smaller than expected?
Me | August 29 2018 | Me

Media is being vague about how many actually showed up to view McCain's coffin at the AZ State Capitol. I can only find "more than 1500" or "thousands." I am curious--why:

McCain's very last campaign rally in 2016 drew less than 150--even with free dinner and drinks being offered. And.....

President Trump's rally in August 2017 drew nearly 20,000. The fake news media didn't want to talk about those big numbers.

“Trump and the Deplorables”

That’s who we are, FRiend. An identifiable group of patriots with Pres. Trump as standard bearer. With powerful enemies arrayed against us. Keep situationally aware at all times.

“I found it odd that McCain invited people to his funeral. Who does that???”

Even odder, that McCain dis-invited people to his funeral. How small and petty, but I am putting it down to his brain tumor. No doubt, wasn’t working with a full deck at the end.

I think McCain’s ego is weighing it down.

Yes I knew that was a lie when the man on Fox said that. Which is why I added “gimme a break”.

Thank you.

Just found out today that a former 20 year employee of our family business also passed this week.

So now I have another funeral to attend tomorrow

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope your dad had a full life.

In my family, the ultimate diss is to say “And you’re not allowed at my funeral! I’ve already paid my grandsons to bounce you out!”

Since I’m the only one with grandsons... but plenty of brothers and sisters...

Always surprised how heavy the casket is.

I know, right? I'm a girl but my uncle's favorite niece. I was honored to be, along with my 2 cousins (1 his son) and my 3 brothers, a pall bearer.

Getting Uncle Frank into the church and up to the alter was a piece of cake. As we were leaving the church, however, the one short blonde girl (moi) muttered to her brothers, "Is is just me, or did Uncle Frank put on some weight during his funeral? Alright, who gave him the wine??!"

He should have gone the Steve Martin King Tut route:

Now, when I die,
Now don't think I'm a nut,
Don't want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole King Tut. (King Tut)

Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket
With golden flowers o’er my head in a silver basket
Let drum and bugle corps
play taps while cannons roar
and 16 liveried employees
sell souvenirs at the funeral store...
