Old friends and colleagues are visiting John McCain's Arizona home these days to say goodbye.
But before he takes leave, the senator has a few other things left to say to America.
The press? Full of "routine liberal bias."
If you're wondering how the infamous "pee tape dossier" got out, it was McCain's doing. He heard about it from a British diplomat, sent someone to England to get a copy, and passed it to then-FBI Director James Comey.
"And I would do it again," McCain says. "Anyone who doesn't like it can go to hell."
While the old warrior settles some scores, his sense of loyalty remains ironclad.
While McCain's rehash of the 2008 race is only one part of "The Restless Wave," it's likely to be the liveliest for many readers. And while the book is meant to give McCain the last word, sometimes he rehashes policy debates long settled.
The book is at its best is when he speaks plainly from the heart about subjects he cares deeply about. .
That straight talk is vintage McCain, and why his most conservative critics have often dismissed him as a RINO — Republican in Name Only.
Certainly, he often seemed to get along better with his colleagues across the aisle.
Kennedy, he recalls, once even tried to get him to switch parties. McCain almost crossed party lines in 2008 by choosing Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, a Democrat-turned-independent, as his running mate.

McCain’s new diet: Burning in Hell
Says the guy who will be in hell by this time next year.
If he resigns after that, then the seat is open and placed on the November ballot.
McCain apparently is trying to control who would be appointed if he resigns before May
Thank you for the explanation. I was wondering about this also: Next question: Is there any indication who might be appointed to the seat if McCain passes before the end of May?

If McCain leaves office before May 30, the Post indicated, his Senate seat will be on the ballot in Arizona in November 2018, as will that of his retiring junior colleague, Republican Sen. Jeff Flake. After May 30, the new senator — who would be appointed by Republican Gov. Doug Ducey — would serve through 2020.
