| Sen. John McCain's funeral put Washington's vicious political hypocrisy fully on display |

| h/t Instapundit Just the hightlights ...In the South Carolina primary, George W. Bush’s 2000 campaign, for example, used push polling to circulate the (false) rumor that McCain had fathered an illegitimate black child. ...In 2008, with McCain running for president again, the New York Times ran an unsubstantiated claim that McCain was having an affair with a female lobbyist ...Obama surrogate Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia) invoked Alabama racist George Wallace in talking about McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin. Jonathan Martin noted in Politico that McCain was being called racist without basis, simply because it was helpful to the Democrats. The Nation weighed in on McCain’s wartime use of the term "gook" as evidence of his racism. Then-famous music star Madonna opened her concert tour by calling McCain Hitler and encouraging people to vote for Obama. And the popular Democratic blog DailyKos, not to be outdone, published a comparison of McCain to both Hitler and Stalin. |

| #3 Dr. Kissinger's observation applies: "Faculty politics are so vicious because the stakes are so low..." |

| #2 Kyl is a solid pick and has only pledged to stay thru January 2019. Hopefully he stays until 2020 at which point he said he won't run again |
