The Last Laugh

PHOENIX, AZ   Senator John McCain, R AZ underwent intestinal surgery last month. Apparently, the brain cancer has slowed the volume of recycled fecal matter the Senator is able to spew, thus causing an intestinal infection. The Rebel, as the Senator likes to be referred, is now home recovering at his AZ Ranch.

Back on the Ranch, he is keeping himself busy planning his funeral. True to his “rebel” nature he is not going to let a little thing like approaching death’s doorstep stop him from one last act of rebellion. McCain 81, is suffering from an aggressive brain cancer and has served in Congress since Ronald Reagan was President. During his time in the Senate, he often threw caution to the wind and rebelled voting against his party on many important issues. He has parlayed that into the “rebel” moniker.

Senator McCain, a legend in his own mind, is undoubtedly planning a very stately affair to honor himself. Hell, he has even asked former Presidents George W Bush and Barack Hussein Obama to eulogize him. He has invited all of his friends on both sides of the aisle. He also invited the current Vice President, Mike Pence, to attend on behalf of the White House. In one last act of defiance/rebellion, after inviting nearly everyone in leadership in DC, the rebel Senator from Arizona made sure it was known that President Trump is NOT invited and is NOT welcome. KaBoom!

It did not take long for the story to get picked up, prompting lots of McCain’s friends to reach out. Just take a look at Schumer’s face as McCain chokes back the laughter after telling him. The Rebel was reveling at the moment. His last act of defiance was to publicly shun the Leader of the Free World. He would have the last laugh. No one can you respond to such sentiment from a dying hero without looking like an Ass.

But wait! It looks like someone at a rally just told POTUS he wasn’t invited. Oh Lordy! Imagine that he is laughing. Later he tweeted, “Dodged a bullet, my Cathedral is better than the National Cathedral LOL.” And last but not least, as the story continued to make the rounds of internet news sites, people began uploading pics of themselves laughing when they read Representative Meeks’ interview with Jake Tapper. Meeks said, “Senator McCain is not going to be a hypocrite.”

For Pittsburgh Steelers Fans, I am going to break this down. The definition of a hypocrite is a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs. A politician that is NOT a hypocrite is like a unicorn, they do not exist. Last laugh, us!
