Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) said Monday that the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was “partially to blame” for the back-and-forth over lowering the White House flags to half-staff to honor the senator.

“Well, you know, frankly I think that John McCain is partially to blame for that because he is very outspoken. He disagreed with the President in certain areas and wasn’t too courteous about it,” Inhofe told reporters, according to CNN Ashley Killough.

  1. I’d just like to be the first to say fuck you and the snowball you rode in on to Sen. Inhofe

  2. Please delete this article and refrain from providing Inhofe with a platform in the future. A good man is dead while the walking, talking bag of self-serving douchbaggery that is Inhofe continues to breath. Proof that there is no true justice in the universe.

    Better to publicize the idiocy of craven characters like Inhofe than to hide them.

  4. JFC. Blaming the dead for a spite-filled, petulant little man’s tantrum? Oh, come ON!
