Q: John McCain was 5' 9" tall. Why was his coffin a little over six feet long?

A: The extra few inches were required to accommodate the spine, balls, and last shreds of dignity belonging to Lindsey Graham; because those items were clearly interred along with the mortal remains of the late Senator from Arizona.

things about Chelsea Clinton when she was 12 years old.

I don't understand why people say McCain was a great person. He wasn't.

He called her "The White House dog."

He said this when Chelsea was a 12 year old child. Years later, in an interview, Chelsea recounted how devastated and hurt she was.

I think this one incident demonstrated a complete lack of character.

Edit: My mistake. It was Rush Limbaugh who said the above about Chelsea.

John McCain said this about Chelsea Clinton when she was 18:

Cross the pond and that is exactly what happened to John McCain at a fundraising dinner in Arizona a decade ago. “Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly?” he told a handful of big Republican funders. “Because Janet Reno is her father.”

If she had the ability to have people whacked as some nut jobs claim, Rush would have been neutralized long ago. If only...
