Sen. John McCain, Ill With Brain Cancer, Tells Western Allies 'I Am Counting on You (trunc)

Cindy McCain accepted an award on behalf of her husband John McCain, who is ill with brain cancer, on Saturday night at the Munich Security Conference. She read a letter from her husband in which the Republican Senator and longtime foreign policy hawk urges America’s allies to stand by the values that won the Cold War.

The Ewald Von Kleist Award is given for service to international peace and conflict resolution. It is named for a German who volunteered to wear a suicide vest in the attack on Adolf Hitler, and who founded the conference conference in Munich.

McCain’s call for unity came as many at the Munich conference criticized President Donald Trump for questioning the value of America’s post-war alliances.

Thanks. I searched on the title but didn’t come up. Probably due to the truncation.

Indeed he does, PAR35. And quite obviously so. He can’t even fake it right.

Thanks for setting the record straight (sort of). I had thought they were talking about the Generalfeldmarschall.

But, to complicate things even more, there were apparently two Ewald von Kleist-Schmenzin, father and son. The father was a plotter who talked the son into trying the hand-grenade-and-the-tunic plan. (Hitler declined to participate, so the young Lt. v. K-S survived the exercise.)

Since the younger Ewald is sometimes identified as the double hyphenated Ewald-Heinrich von Kleist-Schmenzin, the award is probably named for his executed father rather than the grenade carrier.

I had predicted he wouldn’t make Christmas. Guess I’ll take Easter now. Grandpa said couldn’t wish anyone dead but could pray for a happy death.

Ace McCain has the most unambitious tumor in history.

“I wonder if somewhere in the leftist cancer riddled brain, McLame believes by staying in the senate and not stepping down like he should, he will be dying in the line of duty.”

I don’t think it’s that complicated. Smeagol just hates the nasty hobbitses and can’t let go.

For everything there is a time. Isn’t Juan’s time already come and gone? Time for someone younger to step up and try to wreck the country.
