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.

The descriptions make it sound like a meeting of the “All Hat, No Cattle” club. Will it orders the Aretha Franklin funeral of the Emmys?
Not me - I am restraining myself. I’m proud that I am not leaving the computer to turn the TV on...had enough of that falderol in the past 3 days and who needs to see obozo and GWB? When McCain gets out of the casket and walks on water to Annapolis, then I may watch!
Although there’s his after death docusmear the place where he’s to be buried is on the grounds of the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Those of you who plan to “honor” him there (cough cough) should be warned - they have pretty high security there.
Right now-bashing Trump without name.
I bet Hillary is wearing the same outfit she wore yesterday at Aretha Franklin’s funeral - the black/grey quilted thing she’s worn at least a hundred times in public.. Well, heck - it beats the nightgown so I’ll shut up.
President Trump is not attending.
No s**t CBS! He wasn’t invited. What part of that did you not get? The MSM using some wordplay to use McLame’s passing to get off a cheap shot at the president! These people will never stop. Time to expose them all!
betrayed his party on a key vote to repeal Obamacare!
He Should have “retired” sooner.
Sustaining this level of sobbing and emotion for a solid week is a little unbelievable. (May he RIP :) )
Ex Navy pilot, ex Senator. Failed presidential candidate.
...
I would put him down as a failed pilot and senator, too.
Meghan is one very angry woman.
She is bashing Trump as much as she can.
I hope she is NOT on the list to become senator.
Gov. Doug Ducey may appoint Meghan McCain as the next Arizona senator. I don’t think Kelli Ward has the judgement to be a U.S. Senator.
Mark Levin said it best, “To me the heroic part of John McCain has nothing to do with his service in the Senate and everything to do with his service in the United States military, “
If he appoints her he is toast!
I don’t think the voters would approve. She’s a spoiled, privileged brat. She has no clue how the rest of us lived.
Growing up on Central Avenue and going to private school.
He’s been dead for a week. What is This? Weekend at Bernie’s?
I’m surprised Ivanka and Jared are there.
Horse story now OMG.
Enough of these threads and McCain worship.
Throw some dirt on him and be done with it!
I would have said no until I looked it up. That lasted for 7 days - sure surprised me...BUT his body was never at the CA Capitol and he WAS the governor for years - McCain was never a governor but they laid him in AZ’s capitol.
I don’t care how many days it was for RR, it was dignified and classy the entire time...I don’t think I missed any of the services..
