united states senator who you would always want to have dinner with. it used to be in the senate there were an awful lot of them. there are very few of them today that you would be dieing to go out and have dinner with. john mccain is someone i would have dinner with seven nights a week. always interesting. a spirit of independent judgment. god, i hope he gets well. >> to that point, john, i think about people working in the senate today and especially the young people working in the senate today who will do two or three years, some of them less. but it will be the memory of their lives. one of the things they talk about whoever is who was serving in the senate when they worked there. every one of them is going to say john mccain at the top of their list. >> lawrence, you had it exactly right at the beginning of the show when you talked about this man having the energy of a 25-year-old and the enthusiasm of a 25-year-old. president obama sent out a greet tweet tonight where he said, cancer doesn't know what it's up against. and i hope that's right. >> thank you both for joining us tonight.
