Old friends and colleagues are visiting John McCain's Arizona home these days to say goodbye.
But before he takes leave, the senator has a few other things left to say to America.
The press? Full of "routine liberal bias."
If you're wondering how the infamous "pee tape dossier" got out, it was McCain's doing. He heard about it from a British diplomat, sent someone to England to get a copy, and passed it to then-FBI Director James Comey.
"And I would do it again," McCain says. "Anyone who doesn't like it can go to hell."
While the old warrior settles some scores, his sense of loyalty remains ironclad.
While McCain's rehash of the 2008 race is only one part of "The Restless Wave," it's likely to be the liveliest for many readers. And while the book is meant to give McCain the last word, sometimes he rehashes policy debates long settled.
The book is at its best is when he speaks plainly from the heart about subjects he cares deeply about. .
That straight talk is vintage McCain, and why his most conservative critics have often dismissed him as a RINO — Republican in Name Only.
Certainly, he often seemed to get along better with his colleagues across the aisle.
Kennedy, he recalls, once even tried to get him to switch parties. McCain almost crossed party lines in 2008 by choosing Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, a Democrat-turned-independent, as his running mate.
"I hope those who mourn my passing, and even those who don’t, will celebrate as I celebrate a happy life lived in imperfect service to a country made of ideas, whose continued success is the hope of the world."

Now that you’ve bid farewell, maybe you’ll shutup.
Retire or resign
I hope they put up some kind of memorial to him somewhere
SO I CAN PISS on it.
They'll probably have a day of remembrance in Vietnam for him and Hanoi jane when she dies, hopefully soon.
I have a sealed bottle of Elijah Craig waiting for the day.
Ha, ha, I laughed at that! I shouldn’t... but I did. ;-)
no repentance....no apologies....no atonement...nothing.
he just keeps trying to make trouble and ruin America...
even on his damned deathbed
I would normally say to please pray for a dying person, but it almost certainly won’t help this guy....
“Reminds me of Idi Amin”
Oh? He likes liver?
The last thing the one who shall not be named should hear in this life is how Trump will release all the truth about him to the public so that he will not be buried with any honors or fanfare. He will just be forgotten.

This reminds me of the old SNL news line —”Francisco Franco is still dead.” Now, it’s “John McCain is still alive.”
I hear John and Cher are going to get together for the “Johnny and Cher Farewell to America and All the Other Suckers, Too, Tour.”
Well...bye.
That shameless self-promoter wouldn’t hesitate to shout it from the rooftops, if he were. So...
Not. A. Chance.
Goodbye John.
I know.
But he did invite it on himself after admitting that he lied to his constituents for years, and that he actually hates us.
Wacko-Birds and Tea Party Hobbits. Never cared if he said that or worse about me. Just his treatment of the party base, his constituents in Arizona, and the Palins specifically that took him from Hero to Zero to Nero for me.
I am tired of reading all these adulations to McCain. What I want to read is his obituary. The sooner the better.
Such a bitter, hate spewing, worthless wreck of a useless life.
Nahh, Idi, Idi, Idi Amin, most amazing man der's ever been...
