A fitting epitaph for McCain would be “publicity hound to the end”.

I don’t like the guy but enough is enough making the comments about shitting on his grave only makes those making the comments look juvenile and bad... lets at least have respect for ourselves and not make theses types of comments....

Ha.

I will drive a little further to the Navy cemetery to “pay my respects”.
But it will be a great road trip.

Possibly McCain recognized the .. irony ... and perhaps some resistance to ... an Arlington burial
He will still rest among real heroes

If he keeps up with these daily press briefings people are going to realize he IS Lucifer.

Wherever he wants, because he won’t be staying there. There are fires that don’t consume in his immediate future.

Besides, he’s dying anyway.

I’ve never seen someone pimp their upcoming funeral as much as this guy. It’s just ..... weird. And creepy.

He’s the Kardashian Ho of the Senate.

He was a slouch then and laying down is appropriate for him.

The right ending for McShame would be cremation,might as well get used to the heat, and flush home down the nearest toilet.

does the naval academy have a swamp or a sewer? that would be appropriate. Do they have a quisling side for internment in specially marked graves? Anything that honors this POS is undeserved. Even his ‘heroic actions’ as a POW are not supported by other POWs that were with him.

I agree.

(I mean, it’s not like we’re quite talking about Billy Bob Clinton or Uhbama.)

McCain did risk his life in the air over North Vietnam and suffered years of Communist hell.

I don’t care for his politics, but he did put his life on the line for his country five decades ago.

I’m fine with his wish.
