...but we have a moral obligation to skewer those who use the passing of a public figure as an excuse for crass, opportunistic partisanship. Meghan McCain, Barack Obama and even George Bush - this last in that craven, indirect way he has developed for knifing people in his own party - turned portions of their eulogies into a Trump-bashing exercise.
And then there's the execrable Jeff Flake, who Tweeted a picture of Obama, Bill Clinton, and George Bush sitting together, with the caption "Decency wins". Decency. Bill Clinton? How strange it must be to be Jeff Flake, sailing through life so utterly, blissfully unaware of what an insufferable prick he is.

Decency? They're shoving the elitism right in our faces aren't they. 'It's different when WE do it'. Whoever they may think they are.
It appears that Deep State and McCain arranged McCain's funeral so that even McCain's corpse could become a prop for the bashing of President Trump.
"To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee."
Sarah Palin was also not invited to McCain's funeral.
I believe McCain hated Sarah Palin because Sarah was more popular than McCain during McCain's presidential bid.
I still believe McCain threw that election deliberately; the fix was in; but he never forgave Sarah Palin for being more popular.
I always liked Joe Lieberman and I see he thinks this funeral 'brought America together'. I think Joe means well but just happened to hop on the wrong bus.
A lot of people get sentimental and just follow what they think is the 'right thing to do' from what they're exposed to. They'd like to dream on with the happy illusion, while much of America is seeing the elites as the scumbags and sycophants they always were. There's a film where they get on a train of destiny, and realise too late it's going to damnation. Jump Joe! Jump before it's too late!
Meanwhile someone said, not confirmed, that the President said 'VP Pence will represent the US at the funeral'. Exactly!
Poor John McCain. He thought when he died, his funeral would be all about him.
Rebecca: You're absolutely right. Trump is stomping around in their heads 24/7.
I like the way Matt Margolis put it in a post over at PJ Media: "It’s hard to wrap my head around that fact that Meghan made the conscious decision to give the media, and basically the world, the opportunity to boil down her eulogy into a Trump smear rather than an ode to her father’s lifelong legacy. She just cemented her father’s legacy, not as a war hero and longtime U.S. senator, but as an enemy of Donald Trump. I’m sure even John McCain would rather be remembered for more than that."
Sarah was so popular that former Hillary supporters voted for McCain/Pal8n. We talked to some when Sarah held a rally in a filled-to-capacity stadium in Orange County, California. They were affable and bubbling with excitement. Of course the Hillers were only voting for "the woman", not the platform. It's the "forest for the trees" thing. Eva Braun would have got their vote.
Joe Lieberman? In 2000, to secure the VP nomination, he had to travel to New York City and lick Al Sharpton's shoes. I remember thinking "It profiteth a man not, Joseph, to sell his soul for the world, but for the Vice Presidency?"
McCain would have lost by even a greater percentage had Pain not been his VP pick. I have regretted ever since that, because of the slanderous smear job the Progs (and some Pacs) did on her, that we shall never have a Palin administration. She impressed me as fitting Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.'s description of FDR: A second class intellect but a first class temperament.
She is a person of integrity, unlike so many other pols. She has demonstrated courage, physical, moral, and political. Physical: She and her husband worked at commercial fishing in the Gulf of Alaska, one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the world. Moral: Having been given a seat on the oil and gas commission, when she found out how corrupt it was, she resigned and raised a stink. Political: She defied her own party's establishment to clean up the situation.
Through a series of baseless ethics charges she and her family were nearly bankrupted and she was forced out of politics; a grave loss to the nation. The heart of the opposition to her was that the Palins were blue collar and faithful Christians (another example of her integrity was having a Downs syndrome child, not aborting him). She promised to bring an attractive new look to the GOP, perhaps to be the nominee in 2016 and the first woman president, so the Dems had to destroy her career. Her lower middle class origins were offensive to the GOPe, so they helped get rid of her.
The treatment of Sarah Palin was part of the reason Trump succeeded.
Good points Hal9. These are clarifying times.
