And I say this with the deepest of sincerity – and I don’t want calls on this, by the way: Am I the only person in America who thinks the passing of McCain and the news coverage has gone on a little too long and it’s a little too much?
Really, you can honor somebody, but this is going on day after day after day after day after day. And I don’t say this out of any animus whatsoever, period. Why do some public officials get this kind of treatment – Kennedy, McCain, so forth – and others get no treatment whatsoever. You’ve probably never even heard of them, probably weren’t on TV as much as say McCain or Lindsey Graham and so forth.
Okay, fine. I understand that – that is, the criticism. But you don’t see the same kind of criticism applied to John McCain or the people who planned his goodbye in slighting Sarah Palin, which really is a mean thing to do. She never said a nasty word about John McCain, even when conservatives were raising questions about what he did and so forth. She never did. When I had her on a couple months ago, on Life, Liberty & Levin, wouldn’t say a negative thing about him.
Never did. She was his vice presidential running mate. He picked her. That seems to be a little bit more relevant to me than the flag flying at half-mast through Sunday, and yet you’ll see almost no criticism of this by the same so-called news outlets, the same so-called voices , you know, the same crowd who can’t wait to attack Trump.

You win the internet today.
Do you mean the original Three Stooges or C N N ?
Lol, the real ones. Right now there wearing buckskins and Coon skin Caps. Lots of fun.
The story here in AZ is that McCain personally planned all of this. He thought this was his due, which speaks volumes about his self-importance. Typically sickening.
But he hated Trump. And for months he fed Salty war tales to the idiots on his bus.
Those two things alone get him a media pass.
He was a spoiled brat as a kid. He was an entitled midshipman and officer. He was petty. He was corrupt.
What’s not to love?
Which begs the real question of the day: Joe, Curly, or Shemp?
Almost as compelling as Ginger or Maryann?
Coverage is a whole lot over the top. The drug out funeral functions are a whole lot over the top and are testimony the the kind of pompous a$$ he really was.
My experience in life is that when people are essentially crying out to others, “Look at me!”, there is usually not much of substance to see. Based on his behavior in Congress, I think that assessment fits John McCain very well: he could have been great, but he wasn’t . . . he was a deeply flawed man, just like many of the rest of us.
.....and it goes on and on and on....
...and wife Cindy decided to expose her ‘assets’ today.....can’t unsee that!
And no doubt we the people are paying for the “production.”
But WHY are Ivanka and Jared there????
The President asked Mattis, Pence and Bolton to go....
...WHY are the Kushners and John Kelly there?
He is using the playbook from Reagan’s frunneral. I was there. Waiting to see the blue angels over DC to make the replay complete.
With the over the top networks coverage of McCain’s funeral, they put Aretha’s funeral to the back of the bus.
McCain was always “a little over the top”. “TEA Party Hobbits” will never forget his love for them.
Major case of virtue signaling, nothing more.
What a line up in the first couple rows at the service this morning:
obama’s, the bush’s, biden, gore, kissinger, dole, clinton’s and all the supporting cast that has allowed and facilitated the decline of this great nation.
Just a question. What sort of family disinvites people from a funeral?
I can kinda sorta understand certain n’eer do-well family members. But outsiders? Especially in the political realm?
All this shows is the head of the fish stinks. Both the family, and Washington D.C.
How much is this circus costing the taxpayers?
The kind whose patriarch needs to be buried with a "splash guard."
“But WHY are Ivanka and Jared there????”
I was shocked to see them walk in.
