RE: John McCain: Planning funeral still not retiring ???
I don't think the fact that Sen. McCain is planning his own funeral is any reason for him to step down yet. (If that were the case, then anyone who plans their funeral in advance should retire early.) One could argue that a sharp drop in attendance at the Senate would be reason to step down, as would a cancer-related drop in cognitive abilities.
Then again, my inner stand-up comic is chomping at the bit to do a one-liner or two about drops in cognitive abilities going unnoticed in DC... :P
"One could argue that a sharp drop in attendance at the Senate would be reason to step down, as would a cancer-related drop in cognitive abilities."
Inability to attend to vote for such a long period of time, let alone do his committee work - should be enough of a reason to retire.
If I was his age with such a distinguished career and his medical conditions, I would hope a family/friend would sit me down and say - you have a great run, but its time to step aside and let somebody else pick up the batton.
I agree. professional politicians are the pits. especially those that trade on their previous career to give them kudo's and hoodwink the public into thinking they must be a patriot. In my opinion he's not, he works for vested interests in the arms industry and so tried to promote wars. Neo liberal wars..
