Anyone else remember when CNN uploaded their Pope John Paul II obit prematurely by accident? Only it was based on the Queen Mum obit so referred to JPII as "the nation's favourite grandmother" and "fond of her whisky". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,654 Posted August 24, 2018 A serious question... Would McCain taking office today do a worse job in the next seven days that President Trump is likely to? Nice little innocuous query I thought I'd lob into this trending thread! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chiesa52 132 Posted August 24, 2018 Given the way the family is talking, and from observing how close to the end people stop treatment, I think he may be gone within a week- or even a couple of days- remember Barbara Bush?? It's certainly all over the news, that's all I heard on the radio driving here- yes, the media IS going crazy. I hope that Trump doesn't say anything stupid about him, but perhaps that's to much to hope for! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
