Three of John McCain's top aides from his failed 2008 presidential bid are being excluded from his memorial services along with his former running mate Sarah Palin.
McCain's 2008 campaign manager Steve Schmidt, senior adviser Nicolle Wallace - who is now an anchor on MSNBC, and longtime strategist John Weaver were not invited to any of the services or memorials, Politico reported.
'That cathedral will be filled with people who stabbed McCain in the front. Schmidt and Nicolle and Weaver stabbed him in the back and you can't find a single McCain loyalist who will say different or feels different,' said a person familiar with the guest list told the news website.

What a bitter old coot. Can you imagine someone who, on his death bed, is making lists of people to be EXCLUDED from his funeral?
Amazing. This guy actually sat down and made a list of people who were specifically not to be invited to his funeral.
Who does that?
McCain will be remembered by his behavior in the end as an angry, petty, sad, bitter old man.
Nicolle Wallace was the one dispatched to sabotage Palin because she almost caused them to win.
McCain was a willing Designated Loser.
The Kenyanesian Usurpation was GOING to happen.
I’m having serious John McCaine fatigue.

Interesting and plausible (in a sane world) since it would make no sense to undermine your running mate (unless you insanely wanted to lose and deflect the blame). Schmidt & Wallace are not above such actions of their own volition.
This backstab and funeral snub likely refers to the Halperin cooperation for the book.
Who the hell knows. Capt. Queeg was nuts.
This was a hateful little man. There is a reason that nobody but politicians and journalists can say a nice word about him. Only the scum of the earth that is despised by 90% of the country supported this traitor.
I anticipate people desecrating his grave if there isn’t an around the clock guard posted to protect it.
I never heard of a “guest list” for a funeral. The ones I’ve been to, the families are glad to see people show up. McCain is being treated like some kind of wonderful potentate, when he was neither.
John McCain was quite simply a POS.
This is only being treated this way because McCain hated Trump. So the media is treating it like the loss of Lincoln, Washington, and Jefferson all rolled into one.
Did you ever hear of the police stings where they send out notices to pick up free basketball tickets to wanted fugitives?
He should be embracing Nicolle Wallace. She made Palin’s life a living hell, and sabotaged her every step of the way. It’s exactly as he wanted. Why snub her, his partner in crime?”””
Because McCain double crossed people his entire life.
She can join Keating.
He was vindictive to the end. Please, somebody just bury him along with his wish list, and let us get on with our lives.
I’ve had it up to here with the fake media fawning over another dead leftist politician. From the religious standpoint, let them wait around for three days and nights and they’ll realize he ain’t coming back for a while. Maybe never...
The fake media is wasting valuable time focusing on the life of McCain. They’ve got a POTUS to impeach, so they need to get back on target.

This is JUICY! It also shows that we were right about McCain from Day 1.
As to Palin - McCain’s campaign was DEAD IN THE WATER before her. Aside from the people who would later become the NeverTrumpers, which now are being shown to be about 10% of the party, or about 6 Million voters, McCain literally had NO ONE left who actually liked him. With his near-successful Amnesty push and sticking it in the eye of George W Bush, and teaming with the Democrats on ‘Campaign Finance Reform’ and God knows every other stupid thing, McCain likely had the FLATTEST campaign in US history. He even made President Ford look lively. And, obviously, his ‘friends’ on the Left were nowhere to be found...they had their superstar.
So what choice did he really have? Lose by 25 points, or throw a Hail Mary? Nearly worked too...McCain was actually several points up immediately after picking Palin.
But then McCain’s (really the GOP’s) ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way), kicked-in and decided that it was better for McCain to lose with Palin, than win with Palin, as she posed the same risk to everything they had going, as Trump. So they made sure that she was silenced and allowed (and helped) the media to take her down. And, as for the GOP ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way) WANTING TO LOSE, rather than win...just think 2016 - no different.
The lesson for the GOP is VERY SIMPLE. If you pick a ‘moderate’ candidate thinking that he’ll get nice treatment from the DNC-controlled press, GET OVER IT - will never happen. But what will happen is that someone like McCain, or Conlin Powell, or whoever, will be FORCED to move hard-right to have any chance of winning. Bush Sr. had to do the same with Quayle, and while I loved Quayle, he simply was a very easy punching bag for the media. But look at Reagan, instead - his base was rock-solid behind him, so he could reach to the center a bit with Bush Sr., and at least not be stuck with a VP that the media could turn into a liability.
The week of never ending funerals.
They all deserve each other.
I am honored to not be invited to his funeral................
Other famous people died this week, Neil Simon the playwright and and Ed King original cast member of Lynyrd Skynyrd...............
