21. Did that really happen?
I thought I imagined it.

Jesus, there's such a thing as being upset, but you do NOT walk right past the grieving widow.

He's a slug....................

24. It happened all right...she walked up towards him and had to walk back to her her chair as he didnt
even look at her.

Asshole!...he saw how she greeted all the other speakers before him.

33. That's what I was thinking.
He got out of there at a pretty good clip. It did look bad, though.

16. oh, of course, that makes perfect sense.
he doesn't even respect his own wife, respecting a dems wife would certainly be a stretch.

19. From the sounds of it, he rarely acknowledges his own wife....
...so I cannot say this surprises me.

Does anybody remember that sad interview with Cindy McCain in Vanity Fair(?) where she said McCain told her she would "restore class to the White House" in order to get her blessing to run? And how that just bowled her over because he'd never said something so nice to her before?

Pig.

I got bored when he started that "straight talk" self promotion again.

25. Leave it to McCain to speak at an Irish wake
and make it all about himself.

Then he snubs the widow.

37. All politicians make their speeches all . about . themselves
Whether it's a eulogy or a commencement or whatever. It's a disease of the trade.

27. Aw, he was obviously handicapped, in a situation where emotional sincerity is desired.
At least he didn't call her a c*nt. That's pretty much the best we can expect of him at this point.

31. I think the lights are starting to go out all around him now
Explains a lot of his behavior in the last year.

And his cheek looks puffier than ever.

I suspect brain plaques.

32. i have to defend MCcain here, he is somewhat senile , he once reached out to shake
his wife's hand at a campaign rally while he was shaking hands with others.

it was really funny. if he forgot his own wife for a while you can't expect him to know others.

34. you know he did really strange things during the campaign
made me wonder if there was something seriously wrong...I don't think he would be stupid enough to actually snub Mrs Kennedy at the Senator's wake... :shrug: maybe he is stupid enough.

35. I saw it and found it embarrassing
That said, I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt here and say I think he is a little socially inept.

36. I don't think it was intentional
God knows I hate to defend the asshole but he seemed nervous and possibly emotional at the end. He got off the stage as fast as he could. Why would he intentionally avoid the wife of the man he took the time to eulogize? If he was not sincere he would have continued the game and gave the widow her hug.

That being said - my disgust of him will always lie in the fact he risked the all that is good in the universe by giving Palin a spot in the ticket. Now there's something to slam him on for eternity.
