Three men unfit to eulogize John McCain
The Washington Post ^ | August 31, 2018 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 09/02/2018 2:40:06 AM PDT by Trump20162020

And then there were the three who spoke on Friday. You had to control your gag reflex watching Vice President Pence, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) extol McCain’s greatness as he was accorded the honor of lying in state.

Consider Pence for a moment. He began with a ludicrous declaration that broke all records for disingenuousness: “The president asked me to be here on behalf of a grateful nation, to pay a debt of honor and respect to a man who served our country throughout his life, in uniform and in public office. It’s my great honor to be here.” President Trump despised McCain and routinely mocked him. Suggesting that Pence was there to represent Trump would require him to insult and mock McCain. Pence accepted the vice presidency and stuck with Trump despite the “Access Hollywood” tape, despite Trump’s denigration of McCain’s service, despite overt racism and contempt for human rights. He has not batted an eye over the hush-money payments to women, the attacks on the rule of law, the evisceration of decorum. Only in Washington could such a spineless creature sally forth to declare McCain a hero.

To call McCain a hero is to recognize his heroic qualities, of which Trump has none. You can worship Trump or admire McCain; it’s metaphysically impossible to do both. Meghan McCain’s glare was an appropriate reaction to Pence’s hypocrisy.

It was a celebration of McPain’s demise.

Moe, Larry, and Shemp could have outclassed the whole WaPo, as well as many of those invited to the funeral, in their sleep.

I just read something like this composed by a Freeper...
Hope it is OK to steal it!

McCain’s funeral is designed to show the level of respect for a lifetime of GRAFT!

disingenuousness?

::snort::....

In all seriousness, it ceases to be amusing when the realization comes that true evil is in our midst.

FUWP corrupt AF just like McStain and his coup allegiance against conservative voters (the FBI and IRS were weaponized against TEA party groups years before this dossier was built as a fake but accurate document).

WTF, Rubin?

Can there be anyone else more vile and single-mindedly anti-Trump than this harpy???

She should just love Pence, Ryan and McConnell. They’re her kind of Republicans, no?

Oh, they either support or work with President Trump! Nevermind... Off with their heads!!!

I’m disappointed that Pence, Ivanka and Jarred did not get up and walk out to show their displeasure at the trashy nature of the funeral.

I’m not saying I’m 100% behind Pence, but he is good as VP. McDeepstate funeral was trashing Trump...especially Megan.

Not to mention the demented sicko media would claim they were making McCain Funeral about themselves by walking out.

Seriously hoping we have other options for President in 2024.
No more lawyer and politician.
It would be amazing if their was another Trump style person waiting in the wings who run with the ball an additional 8 years. :)

You know, since voting is a privilege and not a right, why not push the GOP to delist Jennifer Rubin.

She was a semi-useful neocon and briefly a Romney shill, but her milk-gone-bad expiration date is easily half a decade past.

As wikipedia so saliently points out: "Writing in the Huffington Post [no link will ever be provided], Dr. Munr Kazmir criticized Rubin for being "completely against policies she herself had championed for seemingly no other reason than Trump being in favor of them".

The proper solution would be to strip her of her US citizenship and put her and the rest of WaPo's Deep States and Short Skirts lounge on a jet to Venez.
