Lifer, I have to agree with you.  Last year when he was diagnosed, he could have stepped down and enjoyed whatever time he had left with his family - but no, he didn't do that. Why?  Because he wanted to continue to get attention from the 15 minute sound bite.  And his family will recieve more money that he died in office, than if he had retired and died a retiree.  He ran unsucessfully twice for President and became a bitter old man after his second loss.  Let's face it, he rode the POW thing for years and built a career on it.  He did nothing heroic, he was just a POW (which was horrible, I'm sure, but he didn't do anything more than get shot down).   When he got sick, he was 80 years old and had no plans to retire.  

I guess you can tell I'm not a fan.
