Usually I’m reluctant to put words in the mouth of my late employer, Senator John McCain, other than those he instructed me to write at some point during our long association. Yet since his death I have so missed not only his company, but his voice in our national affairs, that I have at times been tempted to conjure it from my knowledge of the values and views that animated his distinctive appeals to Americans and the world.
I wanted to hear him during President Donald Trump’s two impeachment trials. I wanted to hear him react to the travesty of January 6. I wanted to hear him when the United States abruptly withdrew its forces from Afghanistan. And I want to hear him summon Americans and the West to the aid of Ukraine, a country whose independence he championed as if it were his own

At the end of his life, McCain screwed up as he had done so many times before.
He belittled himself and went out a pathetic shell of mean words and sad rhetoric.
He is not resting in peace.
Every time I hear his name I’m reminded of how little he’s missed
“Mark Salter is an American speechwriter from Davenport, Iowa, known for his collaborations with United States Senator John McCain on several nonfiction books as well as on political speeches. Salter also served as McCain’s chief of staff for a while, although he had left that position by 2008.”
Whenever I find myself depressed, I just remember that John McCain is still dead, then I feel better.
I would like it better if he kept the rhyme scheme going through the whole article.
That we don’t have him around any more to grant this author’s wishes is just one more of Our Lord’s tender mercies.
I'm still scratching my head how he finagled a type of state funeral.
Why would I want to hear him now? I ignored him when he was alive. I remember McCain being a loyal Reagan foot soldier but then he got full of himself and decided to be a maverick. After that I doubt he was ever right on any controversial issue.
One would have obtained more information from a good fart than they every got from that idiot, back-stabbing, low IQ POS slime licking butt licking sewer dweller. May his fetid grave be taken over by zombies for their toilet.
or his daughter, Lardass McCain
Who gives a flying f**k about McStain. He’s rotting in hell. That’s all I care about.
The grifter from The Keating Five and his morality...
LMAO.
The author is dreadfully stupid and willfully blind. Such self-righteous nummieCon.
LOL.
I feel the same way about Ted Kennedy.

You want to know what McQueeg has to say just visit any of the Russia/Ukraine threads and the UkeNut neocons will give you chapter and verse.
Thats weird. I don’t think of him at all
I'm more interested in what Songbird sang to Ho Chi Minh.
McCain > values...
Stopped right there.
