What's pathetic is there's a steaming pile in the Offal Office, but the flies and maggots have chosen to leave it, to come here and savage the corpse of a fallen war hero and lifelong public servant. I didn't vote for Senator McCain, but found him to be one of the few Republican politicians worthy of respect. He was called a "renegade", but the dissenting voice and the minority report are an important part of American political discussion. He embraced former foes. He worked across the aisle to find compromise. The people who knew him best thought his admirable qualities far outweighed any shortcomings.
RIP John McCain.
