John McCain funeral: Obama, Bush give eulogies at Washington funeral - live updates
CBS ^ | September 1, 2018

Posted on 09/01/2018 7:06:30 AM PDT by SMGFan

A memorial service for Sen. John McCain is taking place in Washington Saturday. Former President George W. Bush and former President Barack Obama are giving eulogies at the service at the Washington National Cathedral. Both men defeated McCain in his two campaigns to become president, in 2000 and 2008. President Trump is not attending.

The service begins at 10:00 a.m. ET.

The "maverick" senator was previously honored at a memorial ceremony in his home state of Arizona Thursday, where he was eulogized by friend and luminaries such as former Vice President Joe Biden. Thousands of citizens paid respect as he lay in state at the Arizona Capitol.

Applause during a funeral? Seriously? Especially for a political hit statement. Yikes!

Thanks for watching Wellstone Memorial 2 and reporting on it.


I remember how the Wellstone funeral backfired badly on the Democrats and basically handed the senate election to Norm Coleman. A lot of MN Democrats regretted it in hindsight.

"They are throwing barbs at Trump."

I hope the people on FR who chastised us for saying what we felt about McCain when he died, now understand the fruitlessness of trying to be kind when a POS like him dies.

to be picky, but isn't Cindy's dress a little too low cut for a funeral?

Now, now .... this is Cindy's last time before the cameras for a national audience, so let's cut her some slack. :)

If Johnny Boy could, he would probably tell Cindy that she dressed like a c*** and looked like a painted wh*re. It wouldn’t be the first time he said something like that.

Poor ol Obama came from a broken home...

What a dick, and he aint doing a bad job, but the fact remains... he is a dick who is quick to use a mans death for politics.

The pollicization of this funeral sickens me, and I know in my heart McCain was behind it.

Obama said it “John asked me to speak at his funeral, a year ago”

Tell Sarah Palin she aint invited

Can you believe this guy was President for eight years? I still shake my head. How did this empty suit get elected?

Between McCain’s and Aretha’s funeral, I am done for! And to think I used to respect “W” so much, so much for idols!

What’s with the low cut back? This is a funeral, not a cocktail party. Or has the dress code for funerals changed? BTW, Cindy’s dress was even less appropriate.

It's even greater now that her old man is gone.
