Will McCain's funeral turn into another Wellstone funeral?
By Monica Showalter
Remember Paul Wellstone? Probably, but mainly for his funeral.
Wellstone was a well liked Democratic senator from Minnesota who died in a plane crash in 2002. In the midst of public turmoil back in Washington, what with Bush Derangement Syndrome going full blast and midterms eleven days away, his funeral ended up amounting to a political rah-rah session, a "pep rally" and a "partisan foot-stomp" for the Democratic Party instead of a memorial to a man who was supposedly loved by Democrats. What it showed was that midterms were more important to Democrats than honoring a man who had died. For the rest of us, it was just disgusting.
Scroll over to 2018, and note the outlines of the funeral of Senator John McCain, who died Saturday.
There will be a long Lincolnesque funeral train from Arizona to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, which an eager media will use to extend the news coverage.
