It’s as if the media are
peering into the windows of Sen. John McCain’s Arizona ranch ghoulishly waiting
for him to draw his last breath.
As he battles the highly
malignant form of brain cancer known as glioblastoma and the debilitating side
effects of his aggressive treatment, the Senator is reckoning with his history
and the future, as he and a stream of friends share memories and say what needs
to be said.
No one is saying goodbye,
but his visitors are telling him they love him, how much he has meant to them and
together they are taking care of unfinished business.
The
New York Times is reporting a recent visit by former Vice President Joe
Biden as one in which McCain requested he “not walk away from politics” and
revealed his regret over selecting Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate over
former Senator Joe Lieberman.
According to a
published report by Time, McCain
has “amplified his call for more civil politics since his diagnosis.”
The sanctimony and
insincerity of that statement isn’t lost on a vast number of Americans. After all, it was he who dispatched
David Kramer, Senior Director of the McCain Institute, to London in
November of 2016 to meet with former MI6 officer Christopher Steele and bring
back copies of the dossier to view “the pre-election memoranda on a
confidential basis” and summarily turned them over to the FBI.
The
worshipful whitewashing by some on the Left is also galling when considering
his less than heroic time in the Senate. McCain remained out of sync with the
GOP base for his centrist stance on immigration and for comments such as, “Stop listening to the
bombastic loudmouths on the radio and television and the Internet. To hell with
them. They don’t want anything done for the public good.” And let’s not forget when he torpedoed
the GOP’s seven-year quest to repeal Obamacare.
The senator from Arizona
is facing his own mortality and seems determined to make the final chapter of his
life one of bitterness. Sources close to
McCain have confirmed his funeral will be held at the National Cathedral in Washington
with former presidents George W. Bush and The World’s Most Dangerous Community
Organizer giving eulogies. “Songbird”
McCain doesn’t want President Trump anywhere near his funeral. Talk about taking hatred to the grave.
