1. Oh shizz nicki

[olegramps]

52. I think that it would probably end up to be hilarious and distastful at the same time.

I see her crashing the service, drink in hand, with a cheap bola and low cut cheap rag for adornment and being propped up by her drunken son slurring out some incomprehensible jargon about her five minutes of greatness. All played to the admiration of Trump who has been ban from a services as a outcast as welcome as a whore at church. Now you have to admit these Trumpites have a decree of class only recognized by racists, women molesters, con artists and other associated bottom feeders.

2. *cackles*

[BootinUp]

3. Womp, womp.

[hlthe2b]

4. Oh, my.... that is going to burn...

[Aristus]

5. No surprise there.

After she was tabbed, she started strutting around as if she was the Presidential nominee. I'm pretty sure McCain didn't like that.

[BootinUp]

8. Lol.

[redstatebluegirl]

9. Plus she wanted to make a concession speech after they lost, he had to come in and say no.

She was a campaign nightmare for him, I'm sure he had enough of her nonsense to last to eternity.

[dameatball]

42. Very true. "Nightmare" is a good description. Horrible mistake by McCain.

[LiberalLovinLug]

48. Well, her antics did help the Democrats win

Apparently, John's choice was Joe Lieberman. But the new fresh rising tea bagger wing demanded he take a bagger.

I still thing Obama would have won, but Lieberman, rightly or wrongly, had a reputation as someone who could work with both sides, would be a former Democrat as well. They would have been a more formidable force for Obama and Biden to run against.

[dameatball]

63. You have a point. Her antics (and who she is) were what made her a horrible choice.

No teabaggers were going to to vote for Obama, no matter who McCain chose. If he picked someone more centrist he could have picked up some middle of the roaders. But I agree, Obama would still have won.

[malaise]

10. I remember she wanted to make her own concession speech

and they had to say no Lady Blah Blah NO.

[keithbvadu2]

59. There was a picture of her campaigning with her name over his on the podium sign.

There was a picture of her campaigning with her name over his on the podium sign.

[Cha]

76. That was palin.. look where it got her. I remember thinking

.. "would she ever go and fuck Off?"

[cstanleytech]

65. Ya, picking her was defiantly in the top 10 for worst blunders he made.

[Soxfan58]

6. McCain was worried

That her clan would be opening beers and picking fights during the funeral.

[olegramps]

43. What's the matter with a drunken brawl at a wake? Its Palin trailer trash tradition.

[NurseJackie]

7. What if she just showed up anyway? Would they turn her away?

Has she been told "stay away" and "do not come"... or has there just been no overt signs of welcome.

[LiberalFighter]

27. Capitol police then would have right to arrest her. Hope so!

[fescuerescue]

41. Unlikely

If she attended the public portion of it, I don't believe they could legally turn her away if she was behaving like any other member of the public.

In a private ceremony, they could simply bar her access.

[LisaM]

50. But you said "if she was behaving like any other member of the public"!

[fescuerescue]

55. I always leave myself an out

And sometimes those outs are as big as barn doors.

[no_hypocrisy]

82. Correct. To completely bar SP, the McCain Family would need a restraining order.

[cstanleytech]

66. You mean like a family member that was not invited to a wedding because they tend to get drunk

and behave like a total asshole? Probably have the police escort her ass to the curb and if she refused then put her in jail.

[Old Terp]

68. I say let the docents handle her.

There are some rather scary spaces on the lower level. There are stories that would have her running so fast to get away.

[samir.g]

11. He was a spiteful old fuck

[oasis]

14. He didn't want his funeral spoiled with low life scum, who does?

[Hekate]

17. You seem to have him confused with the orange potus, who is having tantrums this week...

...because he was specifically told to stay away from John McCain's family, funerals, body...

Trump is having screaming tantrums ever since McCain died. Now that's spiteful.

[MyOwnPeace]

18. He may have been, but only to some.

After all, he did ask President Obama to speak at his funeral.
Spiteful - to the guy that kicked your ass in a campaign?

[LanternWaste]

21. No doubt you wish Palin could attend. Your concern for her attendance is delightful. nt

[MadDAsHell]

73. We're defending John McCain?

LanternWaste, indeed.

[Old Vet]

26. Really.... Hes not even buried yet.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

31. I guess when you meet your maker...you can set things right w people. It's a republican rule of

thumb...never change until you have to, or it kills you. He has every right to do any of it. Unless you died, you wouldnt know. Any of us. He had a long time to think about it after the thumbs down. I wouldn't call it spite at all, Id call it making his peace.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

34. Samir...we are Democrats. Not heathens. Id say welcome to DU but Im not sure yet.

No offense. theres russians under every rock.

[catbyte]

36. Your concern for Sarah Palin's feelings is duly noted.

[at140]

53. McCain requested Obama & Bush-43 to attend

both of whom kicked his ass. So not spiteful to those who beat him.

[Cha]

77. 'Cause he didn't want palin trashing up his

funeral? I'd say it was a smart move.

[Tipperary]

80. You are referring to the orange bawbag, yes?

He sure is.

[world wide wally]

12. He must have been afraid she would want to say a few words

[Yonnie3]

13. I have this evil desire to listen to her deliver an eulogy for McCain.

A word salad send off. The stuff SNL skits are made of.

Ah well, I'll get over not hearing it. There is no need for her to speak anywhere publicly, much less at a memorial service.

[MyOwnPeace]

16. Without any disrespect............

that WOULD be a great skit for Tina Fey to do soon!

[Yonnie3]

33. Plenty of disrespect .............. for Palin

[MyOwnPeace]

54. Well........yeah...................

but I meant for the Senator.
But for her,

Seriously?

Tina Fey would KILL IT!!!!!!!

[edbermac]

15. The one thing I'll never forgive him for.

Seriously John, what the fuck were you thinking?

[Totally Tunsie]

20. Sarah wasn't his choice. His team picked her.

McCain wanted Joe Lieberman (D-CT).

[Tiggeroshii]

24. That would have prevented a lot of problems.

Wow...

[maryellen99]

35. I read he also wanted Tom Ridge as well nt

[Va Lefty]

25. I can forgive McCain for Palin but not for this.

"...a couple of days before McCain gushed loving praise for Bush at the Republican National Convention, he blamed Kerry for eliciting the Swiftboat attacks himself because he had made his Vietnam record a political issue in the campaign. That’s the way McCain showed his solidarity with a fellow navy vet who served in Vietnam."

When he ran in 2008 he "... accepted large campaign contributions from the following Swifboaters: Bob Perry, T. Boone Pickens, Carl Linder Sr., Harlan Crow, Jack E. Caveney, Albert Huddleston, and Sam Fox. He has even recently added the prominent Swiftboater, Bud Day, to his stable of war veterans who are currently shilling for his campaign. According to the Federal Election Commission, McCain has raked in over $600,000 in cash from former members of “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.”

[Old Vet]

29. Although you are correct Lefty, AFTER hes buried we can discuss that incident for sure..............

[Va Lefty]

37. Point taken

[marble falls]

46. I'm a Navy vet and I agree with old vet. Besides we all know the Navy does not hand out ...

a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, three Purple Hearts for the fun of it. I'm able to easily ignore it until interment.

[Submariner]

39. Bloody Bill Kristol was the fiend who first flew up to Alaska to meet her

and the rest is history.

[JohnnyRingo]

47. They thought he would be running against Hillary.

The campaign picked the brightest female rising star within the party. Maybe not the brightest.

[keithbvadu2]

61. Shiniest

Shiniest

[jmowreader]

72. He was thinking of attracting the Evangelical vote

Cindy McCain runs Hensley Beverage Company, the third-biggest Anheuser-Busch distributorship in the United States. The fundamentalist Christians told the McCain camp they were planning to stay home on Election Day if McCain didn't find a running mate they liked. They like Sarah Palin a lot.

[JI7]

81. They didn't Vet Her. and She was a Governor , it's not like he picked a REality TV star

[janx]

19. Kelly O'Donnell's original tweet:

Link to tweet

[SDJay]

22. Not a Surprise...

That was one of the biggest stains on his career, regardless of who actually put her on the ticket. It also propped open the door for idiots (see current POTUS) to climb to the heights of government. He always defended her publicly, but I'd bet that privately even hearing her name made him shudder.

Selfishly, this is good news. For a long time, I looked forward to her being all but forgotten, and it appears we've reached that point.

[Tiggeroshii]

23. Pretty sure he speent the whole time following the day he chose her wondering how he and anybody let

That happen.

[hibbing]

28. Maybe she can watch it from her house n/t

[Rorey]

30. Sarah who?

The name sounds familiar.

It's been nice not hearing about her.

[marble falls]

32. Maybe the beginning of a Republican break with the Teapublicans. Who else isn't going ...

will be interesting to know.

[Stallion]

38. Womp! Womp! Sarah Desmond was Dressed for Her Comeback Closeup Mr. deMille

[gratuitous]

40. This just in: Statement from Sarah Palin

Fine! I didn't want to go to any dumb ol' funeral anyway! {Sound of running feet pelting down the hallway and the bedroom door slams REAL hard.}

[Honeycombe8]

44. Szzzzzz....ouch! That burns, doesn't it? She can sit on her back porch & watch Russia, instead.

That's a bold statement by McCain. I'm surprised, frankly. His feelings must be very strong about her to leave her off the list.

She's a Trump supporter & endorsed him, I think. That may have something to do with it.

[JohnnyRingo]

45. Does the family blame her for losing the election?

You betcha !

[img][/img]

[mtngirl47]

49. I wondered the other day if she was being trotted

out on Fox to eulogize McCain....haven't seen anything from her on CNN or Wapo or NYT

Poor old Tundra Barbie!

[beachbum bob]

51. The worse mark on McCain legacy was allowing palin to be his VP..

[at140]

56. That and he never met

a war he did not like. That is my main beef against McCain.

[Mc Mike]

57. She wants to show up and give an concession eulogy, anyhow.

Station Steve Schmidt by the podium.

[Le Gaucher]

58. Will westboro baptist be picketing the funeral now?

[muntrv]

60. Lady Blah Blah got dissed.

[keithbvadu2]

62. Palin bumper sticker: If Obama is the answer, how stupid was the question?

Palin bumper sticker: If Obama is the answer, how stupid was the question?

The question: Do you want Sarah Palin one old man's heartbeat away from the WH?

[lpbk2713]

64. McCain remembered Failin in his will.

I remember what a dickhead you are.

[BlueStater]

67. Seems he was rightfully worried that she would turn his funeral into a sideshow.

She is, after all, a massive attention whore with the ability to take any issue or event and make it all about herself.

[pazzyanne]

70. "ability to take any issue or event and make it all about h**self."

That rings a neighborhood bell.

[Norbert]

69. She would have left halfway through the ceremony anyway.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

71. Those were heady days here on DU when McCain announced her as VP pick

McCain should have had DU vet her.

You could leave DU for 5 minutes and when you got back a new story about how crazy she and her family were (are)

would be posted. It went on for days.

[OhioBlue]

74. Who expects an invitation to a funeral?

I mean, maybe she wasn't invited to have a speaking or special role, but if one feels the need to pay respects, you don't really expect an "invitation", right?

[Cha]

75. The final flip off to palin, too.

no trash.

[ProgressiveKnight]

78. Sarah Palin Killed By DEATH PANEL

****** FOXNEWS ALERT ****FOXNEWS ALERT*****

Harvard Scholar and former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin became the last VICTIM KILLED by Barack Obama's DEATH PANELS just before he left office. That is the reason she cannot attend Senator McCain's funeral.

What is most cruel of the past administration is that Sarah Palin's remains were secretly taken from the DEATH PANEL HQ and fed to an Alaskan GRIZZLY BEAR by members of the DEEP STATE.

Afterward, The Bear, whose deeds were only known by members of the DEEP STATE, was given for target practice to the NRA flying in helicopters over Alaska.

After this sarcastic act the Grizzly Bear's body (with our heroic Sarah Palin in it's belly) was flown by the DEEP STATE and secretly BURIED in Barack Obama's NATIVE HOMELAND OF KENYA so as to hide the DASTARDLY DEED.

In these WICKED END TIMES we here at FOX NEWS are here for YOU Dear Reader, providing KOOLAIDE FOR THE MIND!

[duforsure]

79. Why would she be invited

She was a train wrecking candidate for him , and has been a nightmare where ever she goes. Kind of like trump lite.

[Historic NY]

83. She needed an invite?
