I’ve seen maybe four short clips from the McCain funeral (I refuse to watch the whole thing). My observation (comparing against the twenty-odd funerals I’ve been to in life)...it was not a memorial service or a funeral. It was like some political ‘show’. And I see the same type comparison with Aretha Franklin’s ‘show’...it wasn’t really a memorial service or funeral. The one gal who came up and did some Franklin song...was in my humble opinion inappropriately dressed for a funeral.
What I would suggest here...one of the networks ought to start a reality show, with a funeral each week designed like this, as just pure entertainment. Bring on some clowns, some former wrestlers to brawl...toss some Stormy Daniels gal to remark about the guy’s fitness...hype on the dead guy being a ‘true-blue’ American (hint: Democrat), and throw in the Dallas Cowboy Kneeling Cheerleaders.
They weren’t funerals,they were rallies.
