Schumer to introduce resolution to rename Senate building after John McCain
The Washington Examiner ^ | August 25, 2018 | Melissa Quinn

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., intends to introduce a resolution in the Senate to rename a Senate office building after the late Sen. John McCain, he announced Saturday.

McCain, R-Ariz., died Saturday at 81 following his battle with brain cancer. His death comes after the senator’s family announced Friday he would be discontinuing medical treatment.

Schumer, along with other congressional leaders, praised McCain for his service in the military and the Senate, as well as his patriotism and courage.

This is the problem when legislation is introduced out of emotion rather than reason.

I’ll make no jokes. I recall in 2008 when I opined it was worth it to vote for him only because Sarah Palin could become POTUS if he died in office, everybody roundly cursed me, and the comment was deleted by the mods. He was a mixed bag. The MSM liked him sometimes, and he was two-faced on health care, running on repeal and replace and then reneging on his promises due to personal animus towards Trump. This is probably what I sensed in 2008, a kind of pettiness that makes for bad politicians. Oh, well. Now he’s gone to the big cloakroom up there.

Figures that one of the most vile leftists would do this.

Says more about McCain than it does Schumer.

Senators might want to ask their constituents before taking a position on the issue. Outside the swamp, I suspect that McCain is not so highly revered.

Then we could name toilet paper after Rep. Adam Schiff, as in “Schiff for Brains” (which is where his resides in perpetuity).

The toilet seat could be called The Democrats’ Throne and the toilet itself named after the Democrats’ most hopeful card hand, The Royal Flush.

A proctologist who checks on the physical and mental constipation of Democrats would be called Dr. Roto-Rooter.

And their swimming pool would be renamed in honor of all Democrat members of Congress as “The Cesspool”.

Oh, forgot. The Dems softball team is called “The Swinging Turds” because they play crappy and never by the rules.

You are known by your friends, McCain was nothing more than a democrat traitor to the Republican Party and theAmerican people.

Looks like we will hear nothing but fake news all day long, touting him as a hero. Fox News seems to be leading the charge.

First of all, neither Schmuck or McCrisis ever sat their fat azz in Russell. Flake & Gilligran are in there, so is the Turtle's rump staff (they like the extra space) but Russell is considered declasse ie Schmuck has figured out a way to damn McCain with faint praise indeed.

Secondly, Russell's early career was, according to wiki:

"a progressive governor who reorganized the bureaucracy, promoted economic development in the midst of the Great Depression, and balanced the budget."

Also Russell smoked out disgraced Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas early on as a crook and a schemer and a schnook (just like Schmuck) - so renaming this building is not just intended to be a slight at McCrisis, but it's some Swamprat payback against Russell.

There are points to be scored here.
