Sarah Palin Not Invited To John McCain's Funeral

Sarah Palin

NBC News is reporting that former half-term governor of Alaska and 2008 Republicans vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, has not been invited to the funeral of her former running-mate, Sen. John McCain.

The Palin camp apparently issued a statement which read, “Out of respect to Senator McCain and his family we have nothing to add at this point. The Palin family will always cherish their friendship with the McCains and hold those memories dear.”

Meanwhile, McCain famously asked both of his presidential rivals - Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama - to not only attend the funeral but eulogize him at the service.

I'm just gonna leave this riiiiiight here.
