She continued:

I was kind of surprised to be publicly disinvited to the funeral. I think that was an unnecessary step. [The McCain family] didn’t have to embarrass me and embarrass others. And it wasn’t just me it was other good people from our campaign back in 2008 who were very, very loyal to Sen. McCain, and worked with him and for him for many years, and they weren’t invited to the funeral.

It’s hard to imagine a way to make Brits suffer more than they already are these days, but Sarah Palin bombarding their TV sets to whine about not being invited to a funeral is definitely a good start.
