Shakespeare Anagram: Othello
John McCain, a war hero turned public servant, passed away yesterday at the age of 81.
From across the political spectrum, tributes too numerous for me to list or link poured in over old media and new media alike. In a moment of apartisan solidarity, I retweeted a touching sentiment from Sarah Palin:
Today we lost an American original. Sen. John McCain was a maverick and a fighter, never afraid to stand for his beliefs. John never took the easy path in life – and through sacrifice and suffering he inspired others to serve something greater than self.
The current president’s tweet was a bit terser: “My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!”
Brit Hume, of all people, reacted “Still not a kind word about McCain himself.” Indeed.
From Othello:
He hath a daily beauty in his life
That makes me ugly
Shift around the letters, and it becomes:
He may sulk, hit hay at a giant he feels humiliated by.
