John McCain requested that former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush deliver eulogies at his funeral, CBS News has confirmed. McCain, who had been suffering from an aggressive form of brain cancer, died Saturday at the age of 81 at home in Arizona. Both Mr. Obama and Mr. Bush will deliver their remarks during a service at the National Cathedral.

Former Vice President Joe Biden will speak at a separate service honoring the senator in Arizona.

Obama humiliated McCain at the Obamacare round table discussion. “I won”, etc.

Why not? They all shared the common goal of turning the USA into North Mexico.

Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust.
Let’s bury the bastard
And get on the bus.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
McCain was a traitor
And the Bush family too.

Even more of a narcissist in death than he was in life.

Agree totally. It wasn’t only cancer or being a POW that was wrong.

Might have to re-purpose an astronomer’s star counting software for that.
It will be (hopefully) his last speech after all.

Huge difference comparing a president and senator. Liberals will be at Obama’s funeral by the millions.

McCain was planning and imagining his massive and grand “heroe’s” funeral for months and months. That’s what narcissists do.

That settles it. Millions will not be watching.

Count me amongst them. All this blubbering about what a wonderful person he was and a hero (which he wasn’t, imho) makes me wanna blow chunks!! All I can say is that I hope he made peace with God before assuming room temperature and that’s about as nice as I can be about this......

Wish they would let me do the eulogy. I would read Mencken’s piece on politicians. It makes me ill when they are referred to as public servants. They are leeches and crooks.

These are the same Democrats who demonized McCain when he ran for president. He was Hitler then. Now he’s a statesman. Nope. he’s always been a jerk.
