Though I do remember her appearing at the RNC convention.

He would vacation with Warren and Annette often.

16. In a million years, I would have never guessed that they were friends.

That's pleasantly surprising.

17. Beatty mentions their friendship in a recent interview

“I go back to Bobby Kennedy. I’m a liberal Democrat. But I’ve been very friendly with some conservatives. I was friendly with Ronald Reagan. We would have a jocular argument every time we got together. John McCain is a good friend of mine. I don’t agree with him on some very important things, but there are things we do agree on. One in particular is campaign finance reform. There’s nobody better than John McCain on that issue.”

9. Honorary Pallbearers?

Are most, or all, of those people going to be honorary pallbearers? What about a military honor guard? I assumed Senator McCain would have a military honor guard.

[Ilsa]

Phil gramm is 100 years old or something like that.

15. Interesting to see Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) on the list of pallbearers.

[tymorial]

29. Mccain helped Whitehouse with his amicus brief concerning gerrymandering last year

Gill vs Whitford

[Totally Tunsie]

31. Ahhhhh - Thank you.

[secondwind]

24. Am a little surprised that neither of his two strapping

sons, or his son-in-law, will be pallbearers.

[2naSalit]

28. Maybe they have a role in the AZ ceremonies.

[JI7]

30. the op tweet says "among those" and "will include"

but im sure they will take part .

[Blue_true]

35. Aren't both his sons current military officers?

Their taking a visible roll may set off Trump, who is technically their boss. The family may have talked about that possibility.

[donkeypoofed]

34. Notice his Senate buddy Lindsay Graham wasn't asked to remove his lips from Spanky's ass

...so he could.be one

[rusty fender]

37. But he's on the list of people who will be

speaking at McCain’s funeral. It’s a shame that Lindsey has sullied his friendship with McCain by sucking up to Trumpass
