McCain in Twilight: An Unfettered Voice Against Trumpism
New York Slimes ^ | 10/22/2017 | Sheryl Stolberg

Posted on 10/22/2017 9:11:01 AM PDT by EagleUSA

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.

He is “fettered.”

He will shortly die from serious cancer and he will be only known for having been an @$$ while alive.

Oh. So now The Slimes is a big supporter of Juan McCainez.

Please, New York Slimes, spare us.

We know damn well that if Juan was President of The United States, you'd be ripping him to shreds on every piece of legislation he proposed.

The sad thing is, McCainez is too self-absorbed and too self-worshipping and too self-aggrandizing and too Trump-hating to realize it.

McCain has spent his entire political career making nice to the mainstream media. And we all remember how they reciprocated when he ran for POTUS, don’t we ? Alas, he didn’t learn then and never will. He will pass to his eternal reward as he’s been all along. Maybe he wants a nice eulogy and obit (like this article) from the NYT/WaPo and the networks.

NYT loves John McCain!!*

*Unless he is running for POTUS against Barak Hussein Obama in which case he is a racist, sexist, warmongering, war criminal with an unstable, volitale temper, and physical ailments that make him completely ineligible for office.

Wasn’t the NY Slimes claiming McCain had an affair when he was running for President?

Trump had the audacity to tell the truth about “songbird” Mc Cain.
