'I’m not a journalist … I’m a commentator': Meghan McCain reacts to Trump interview criticism
TheDC ^ | April 28, 2011 | Jeff Poor

Last week, Daily Beast columnist Meghan McCain sat down for an interview with potential 2012 GOP presidential nomination contender Donald Trump. The interview itself received criticism from many circles, and drew notice from both the right and the left.

On “Imus in the Morning” Thursday on the Fox Business Network, the daughter of the 2008 Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, responded to her detractors and had no qualms with such criticism.

“You know I’m not a journalist, I’m a columnist and a commentator and working on being a media personality and I’m not mean, if you need a hard hitting interview I will be the first to say don’t go to me, I’m too nice,” McCain said. “I don’t like asking people uncomfortable questions because I know what it feels like on the other end. He’s very hard to interview. I was trying to ask him real questions and he’s like, ‘I love you, I love your family.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, thank you,’ and I’m such a like dork. I go, ‘That’s nice’ and people are jerks. So I don’t know and I did it and got so much pickup and got a lot of crap from people. But I took him seriously and I think that’s why it got so much attention, because I was like, ‘Are you really going to Iowa and is your family ready?’ I’m sorry you thought it was too ‘kissy.’”

I still think she looks more like Princess Fiona in 'ogre-mode' . The facial structure, limb and torso size, leg length to torso ratio...Everything's dead on. Just dye MM's skin green and her hair red, and viola-TWINS!:

At least she admits she’s not a journalist. My only question is why the rest of them don’t do so.

“She does resemble a common russet.”

HA! I knew there would be a ‘tator’ joke in here somewhere!

Unfortunately, that substandard version of English is becoming increasingly present in corporations.

That valley-girl inflection of ending every statement? In the tone of a question? Like, it makes it sound like the statement? Is not really a statement but an uncertainty?

It thus becomes the weapon of choice for the passive-aggressive clawing type of ladder climbers.

Beck has been looping a Meghan McCain spoof on his radio show that’s hilarious. Does anyone have a link to the audio on line? I tried to find it... no luck.

She’s an idiot but she’s also a beautiful woman.

Most of the guys trashing her on this site for being ‘fat’ would walk barefoot over broken glass to get a date with someone that prettyl.

She's a stupid little fat bimbo trying to make money using her father's name. The people exploiting her must have a good laugh every time her name comes up.

She seems to me to be a mix of Kristie Alley meets Lauren Conrad and Jessica Simpson.
