On Thursday, Sen. John McCain’s wife tweeted out a message in response to a report that her ailing husband was set to resign. Almost immediately Arizonans responded to Ms. McCain on Twitter.
Contrary to popular belief @SenJohnMcCain is doing fine and has no intention of resigning! #crackpots

He’s fine. Just fine! That’s why he hasn’t been seen or talked to media in 3 months. ? pic.twitter.com/UaPVpmfdx5

Yeah, the guy who craves Sunday morning talk shows has to have the family talking and tweeting for him.

Sen. McCain has not returned to the Senate since the Winter Break. The few photographs made public of the senator since December reveal a man who appears to be wasting away from the aggressive form of brain cancer he was diagnosed with late last year. While the public has not seen pictures of the senator, they have been able to get a glimpse of his current condition through his wife’s tweets.
I strongly recommend the book Pear Shaped by @AdamBBlain . It is a funny and real book about brain cancer. @SenJohnMcCain and I read a little bit each day out loud.

Ms. McCain called readers of True Pundit “crackpots,” in response to the website’s article about rumors that “McCain is not expected to return to the Washington D.C. politics.”
Met with D.C. heavyweight source today very plugged in who said McCain refuses to step aside even though he’s dying and won’t last the year. “It’s all about him” the source said.
