Former President @Barack Obama, @ミシェル・オバマ, former President @ジョージ・H・W・ブッシュ and @laurawbush during a memorial service for Sen. John McCain at the Washington National Cathedral on Sept. 1, 2018. Sen. McCain died Aug. 25 at the age of 81 after battling brain cancer. In what was likely McCain’s final moment of public service, he compelled Washington to reach across the aisle, at least for a humid Saturday morning at his funeral. Speakers remembered his family’s military history and his rebellious youth, his bravery and the decency that it made possible. They cracked wise about his humor and his temper. The memorial services for Sen. McCain this week highlighted both the biography of an American original and the deep divisions in this nation’s politics that, for the first time in four decades, lacks McCain’s impatient voice. “In recent years, we (would) sometimes talk of that intense period like football players remembering a big game,” said Bush, who defeated McCain in the 2000 presidential primary but later turned to McCain to help sell an increase in troops for the unpopular war in Iraq. “In the process, rivalry melted away. In the end, I got to enjoy one of life’s great gifts: the friendship of John McCain. And I’ll miss him.” Obama, who defeated McCain in the 2008 general election but occasionally met with him to hear his counsel, added moments after Bush: “We never doubted the other man’s sincerity or the other man’s patriotism, or that when all was said and done, we were on the same team. We never doubted we were on the same team.” McCain’s former rivals’ concerted civility spoke to McCain’s approach to competitors. “His opponents were still patriots and human beings,” summarized Bush. Obama — and the Cathedral, too — laughed that McCain was sniggering about the scene he choreographed. “What better way to get a last laugh than make George and I say nice things about him to a national audience?” said Obama. In praising McCain’s uncanny ability to reject reflexively partisan posturing, many of the speakers perhaps began a longer period of mourning for the style of politics McCain sought to demonstrate.
