The New York Post mocked Meghan McCain as “The Meg” on its Sunday cover after she used the opportunity of her father’s funeral to attack President Trump. “The Meg” is a reference to a plus-sized shark in the late-summer hit movie The Meg, starring Jason Staham.
The New York Post cover is just one part of a brewing backlash against McCain and the overall funeral service for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), which turned into an unseemly partisan rally Saturday with speakers like former Presidents Barack Obama and even George W. Bush trashing President Trump, who Sen. McCain refused to invite to his own funeral.
Also not invited was former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, John McCain’s unfailingly loyal 2008 vice presidential running mate.
What made Saturday’s shocking display all the more crass was that Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared were invited to the funeral and were forced to sit there and be humiliated, which might have been the plan. The McCain’s are infamous for holding petty grudges.
In an obvious shot at Trump, Meghan McCain used her eulogy to describe the death of her father as the passing of “American greatness. The real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served.”
For good measure, she added, “The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great.”
Obama was also not subtle. He ripped into those who traffic in “bombast and insult and phony controversies and manufactured outrage.”

if you mean “gotten up” in size - you are likely not thinking of cruella de ville who was thin (at least in the movie I saw)
Follow the money. My guess is that McCain was rewarded for being The Maverick.
Damn straight.
Here’s Satchmo’s sendoff to the lot of them.

Nah.....there’s no love there whatsoever.
“Vote Trumpist Republican, not Rino or Dem in 2018.”
What if your choice is between a Rino and a Dem?
That was very poetic. I am moved.
It’s not all bad for MEGhan, she just signed a lucrative deal to appear on “My 600 Pound Life.”
Hold your nose. Vote the Rino on a one-time basis. Bury your head in shame for not finding a primary challenger for him this year. Then find a challenger for him next time, and start collecting money for him now. 2020, there will be no more excuses for voting Rinos. Long knives will be out.
Funerallies used to be just a dem thing. Apparently RINO’s don’t want to miss out.
Many young women admire Ivanka. I hope she continues to represent the USA. The Dems would be smart to not pick on her. The 20 something group really admire her.
Amicable? Not likely...they are gonna want alimony and child support.
You can only negotiate with those willing to engage in negotiation. Leftists have proven time & again that they are opposed to negotiation of any kind. They demand it be their way, otherwise, they introduce violence into the equation. So good luck with that. 8>)
We’ll have a classy CW II. Wear your classiest kevlar body armor, and keep your classy flamethrowers and M-16s ready for action.
The only difference between RINOs and Democrats is that RINOs are not registered Democrats. RINOs are like trannies: they do their to appear one way, but we all know what they are on the inside.
Is that her housekeeper or special friend?
Well actually it’s the take away of what would have been a memorial to her father....but wasn’t...as the media has clearly followed suite. ...It’s all about megan now not her father.
Can’t be. She’s into chicks.
Se certainly needs to do something about her weight....my gosh I had not realized how big she had become. She’s really in need of some control.
Well, it was a very poetic takeaway. Humble yourself and say thank you! ;*)
I’m wondering how much damage she did to her own chances of being appointed to replace her father. Hopefully alot.
