McCain trained at the Naval Academy with Larson and detailed in his memoir The Restless Wave that he wants his final resting place to be next to his dear friend who passed away in 2014.

"In 2002, after switching parties to become a Democrat, Larson ran unsuccessfully for Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, on the ticket with Democrat Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. He and his wife, Sally, resided in Annapolis until his death."

It figures McLame would want to lay beside a fellow Democrat.

I want to smell the rose-scented breeze and feel the sun on my shoulders. I want to watch the hawks hunt from the sycamore, and then take my leave bound for a place near my old friend Chuck Larson, in the cemetery on the Severn (River), back where it began,’ McCain wrote in his latest book.

Does he not understand what being dead means?

[COUNTrecount]

Obviously not if he can still post and Tweet.

They can dump him in the city landfill where he belongs for all I care.

McCain says he wants to go 'back where it began' rather than be buried alongside his father and grandfather ...

The spirits of his father and grandfather are greatly relieved!

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

No, nothing nearly as bad as that. /s

I heard that Trump offered to dig his grave but John said NO, not to my funeral and not to dig my grave. To me, as long as he is under is just fine. What a miserable old stupid man.

The USS John S. McCain (DDG-56) was named after the Senator’s father and grandfather not him.

My Mom and Dad were laid to rest this week in Arlington. Happy to hear mcstain wont be.

McCain, you should be buried in Hanoi, next to the grave of Ho Chi Min and the future gravesite of Hanoi Jane.

"He said he wants to be buried at the Naval Academy"

[GnuThere]

Good. Arlington is getting full.

Screw that miserable POS, toss his rancid corps into a dumpster along with the rest of the GARBAGE.

Hoo, boy ping!

Custer is intered at the USAMA in NY. The black stripes on the dress uniforms honor him. Go figure, history is a trip.

Great plan. Can we pencil him in for tomorrow?

[dwg2]

I heard there was an immediate opening available. Is tomorrow good? Sorry, couldn’t resist.

I was in Annapolis in 1980 when I was on the crew of a 115’ yacht delivering it to Florida. It is a beautiful city. I would hate to see It’s reputation darkened by association with that man.

[anton]

Can’t his body just be dumped in a ditch and the road crew come by and drop some dirt on it?
