Sen. McCain celebrates daughter’s graduation, catches Suns game

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) had an up-and-down weekend over Memorial Day: a family celebration, followed by his Phoenix Suns falling to the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Western Conference finals.

First up was the graduation of his youngest daughter, Bridget McCain, from high school in Phoenix. McCain posted this photo of the pair on Sunday along with a note: “I’m so proud of my daughter Bridget who graduated from high school today. Congratulations Bridget!!!” (ITK suspects this wasn’t the only photo of a parent with his or her eyes closed that was taken during what was a big weekend for grads.)

{mosads}But the rest of the weekend offered decidedly less to celebrate. McCain was in the stands on Saturday night to see the Suns lose their chance to extend their series with the Lakers to seven games. 

McCain tweeted throughout the game, addressing the team by its Twitter handle, @PhoenixSuns. He said they “played great up until the end! Great season guys!!”

The Lakers will face the Boston Celtics in the finals.
