So now, instead, the Governor picks the person and there is a rumor he's going to give it to either McCain's Wife or Daughter.
In the grand scheme of things, why is that such a big deal with you, don't you have more important things to worry about, are you from that state, how is this directly affecting your daily life..

Nobody's attacking what you're calling the "pomp and glory" of this funeral. What people noticed, because that was the intent, was Meghan McCain politicizing her father's service with unabashed, bombastic, vitriol.

In addition to that, every shot included a spectacle of her dry-sobbing and heaving. Her mom, her sisters, her brothers, and even her 106-year old grandmother displayed proper comportment.

Enough already with the tantrums and histrionics.Save it for The View. Even her mom looked as if she wanted to throw a net over her:

How would you know that, and is that a fact, or you just saying what you wish would happen.

Please get some more info before asserting such a thing.

McCain planned his own funeral because a. He could and b. He knew he was going to die.

Dead people don’t run for president.

Again, McCain planned his own funeral.

Thank goodness they finally buried him, maybe it will finally die down.
A whole week of nothing but McCain on radio and TV, good grief.

very good.

You have a right not to watch.

Hopefully neoconservativism has died with him. Trump and peace are now the hallmarks of the GOP

Exactly! They can't stand the fact that McCain himself acknowledged his failings as did those who spoke at the funeral. He was respected by those who agreed and disagreed with him because of his humility, courage, and respect for others. He remained captured & tortured though he could have played the family card and been released. When he came home and his marriage ended in divorce, he admitted that it was his and only his fault. He supported his first wife and kids & paid for their college. The racist charge is false. He not only adopted a Bangladesh girl, but also defended Obama when a supporter called him an Arab. And as for Meghan's weight, it would appear that Trump has the same problem.
