I would yank a GS-13 out of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to attend.

What a petty person.

[Cowboy Bob]

Let him be buried in Arizona. No need for his body to be flown to Washington DC.

[The_Media_never_lie]

I completely loathe McCain. However I would not suggest anyone crashes his funeral.

[Mr Rogers]

Bidding for a lemonade stand near McCain’s grave will go thru the roof!

[WashingtonFire]

if I was invited I’d consume a huge amount of Mexican food and apple juice beforehand and then let rip over the old bastards grave.

[TomGuy]

Seriously, why should Pence go?

Technically, the VP is a member of the Senate, serving as president of the Senate.

Elsewhere in fawning coverage of McCain’s last days in AZ, I read that if he passes during May, a special election to replace him would be held in November. If the vacancy comes up on or after June 1, the election to replace him occurs in 2020. Apparently McCain is claiming that any interim appointment to fill his seat until a special election determines his successor has to be a “McCain person”, which includes his wife Cindy or someone on a list pre-approved by McCain. I don’t see how the Governor would feel constrained to use only that list in selecting the interim appointee. People will want to show proper respect for McCain, but not more than proper respect.

Martha McSally would be my choice.

Petty.

Songbird.

The sooner McCain vacates the planet the sooner we can have a real republican appointed to replace him. Safe trip, John.

[shotgun]

I wouldn’t cross the street to spit on his grave...

[Boomer]

That’s okay. Donald and the rest of us can piss on his grave at a later time. It doesn’t HAVE to be during his funeral.

[PGR88]

McCain plans his pettiness and grudges even into the next life.

[ronniesgal]

i know i shouldn’t but really.....FU McCain and I hope he gets buried in his backyard instead of Arlington. and i hope Cindy does not get his seat, or Little Debbie either.

[TheBattman]

McCain proving, even as he prepares to die, that he is a real A$$... in more ways than one.

[fungoking]

Trump should offer to anoint McCain's grave with the finest whiskey as a peace offering...after he has strained it through his kidneys.

[kiltie65]

So petty. McCain is facing his maker while still harboring grudges? No hope for him. But, on the plus side, I bet our President is relieved.

[Geronimo]

Let Hussein thank him for his services...

[The Deplorable Miss Lemon]

Yes, I am aware of that but still see no reason for Pence to go. During his lifetime McCain has never shown any respect for anyone other than Democrats. Let them handle the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. I don’t know of anyone who will mourn this awful man.
