POLITICIZE A FUNERAL? Last time, it didn’t turn out well.

John McCain was heroic in some ways, notoriously small-minded in others. It is perhaps a fitting coda to his career that his funeral was mostly about someone else.

My reaction to the week-long funeral extravaganza is pretty much the same as that of Powerline. McCain was a warrior and military hero, but he wasn't a saint. And I think the Left's use of his death to pound their own chests isn't going to sit well with most Americans.
