CBS ^ | September 1, 2018

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.

I have no doubt she truly is sad, but I also have no doubt that she is a political drama queen.

Neither of them ever struck me as very bright. All they had going for them was family loyalty.

Not a smart move today IMHO.

Cindy looks like she’s advertising. Kind of a deep cleavage on that so-called mourning dress.

Now Obama quotes Teddy Roosevelt in the name of McCain..


The kenyan could have quoted himself: “John, I won.” and “Elections have consequences” from the health care summit where he treated McCain like a doormat.

Why? Because I had a mother, and don’t need one on FR to tell me how to act, or what to say.

Why do all politicians and shysters never bow their heads or close their eyes in prayer? They all look into the camera.

Funny how many words they could think of this week to describe McCain and never once called him what he was - CONTRARY!

He blamed everyone else but himself for his loss to Obama. This circus he orchestrated is his last hurrah, and I pray he suffers in eternity.
