McCain versus Palin, the Next Generation (Meghan McCain part of "Team Romney")
The National Post ^ | September 8, 2010 | Sheldon Alberts

Talk about going rogue.

Meghan McCain, who fancies herself the hippest, most progressive young Republican in America, talked some trash last night about Sarah Palin.

I know, where have you heard this song before?

Ever since Palin imploded in her Katie Couric interview before the 2008 election, just about everyone involved in John McCain’s presidential campaign – the candidate excluded – has publicly declared how they never really liked Mama Grizzly to start with.

Now the candidate’s daughter is piling on. In an interview with Jay Leno to publicize her recently-released book, Dirty Sexy Politics, Meghan McCain confesses to weeping on the GOP campaign bus after learning Palin was her dad’s running mate.

“Who the hell is Sarah Palin?” was how McCain described her reaction.

“I found out an hour before I went on stage with her. I think they were scared I would say something or whatever. Like the rest of the country, I had no idea who she was and I was actually crying on the bus on the way to the rally.”

McCain has said she has “conflicting” feelings about Palin. But she knows one thing – saying nasty things about the former mayor of Wasilla makes for good copy and can’t hurt sales of a book that might otherwise be destined for the remainder bin.

At 195 pages, McCain’s book is not a weighty political tome–either literally or figuratively. She happily acknowledged to Leno that the book was written for her girlfriends, not political insiders.

To wit, it includes a passage where McCain ponders the impact of having Mitt Romney on the ticket, in so far as it would expose her to the former Massachusetts’ governor’s five Mormon sons, who were “all so handsome, in a tooth-whitener commercial kind of way, and so seriously handsome.”

Hard to believe there’s someone who makes Paris Hilton look smart, beautiful and relevant by comparison.

Children of the Damned.

This should become the new measuring stick for Presidential candidates.

The more obnoxious your offspring - the lower your chances for POTUS immortality.

Sons must serve in the military.
Daughters must keep their mouths shut.

No exceptions!

There is already a political party for the GOPride village people.

It's called the Democrat Party.

In Dirty Sexy Politics, McCain says Palin blamed everyone in the campaign for her disastrous Couric interview.

Well, if McCain and his campaign staff had possessed the collective common sense of a good number of us here at FR, they would never have made the mistake of allowing Palin's first interviews to be long, certain to be selectively edited, interviews by Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric. That was one of the dumbest campaign mistakes made in anyone's memory of presidential campaigns.

I always remember the posts I and others made about how stupid that was, several days before either of the interviews took place. McCain definitely had one of the worst campaign teams in history, and ran one of the worst campaigns, and was one of the worst candidates ever.

Valley Girl Meghan McCain almost over-dosed on Xanax the night before election 08 because she was freaking out...but Sarah was the time bomb....





In the scheme of things, Meghan's book is worth how much?

She was weeping? About a woman she didn’t know, never heard of? What a delicate flower she is, and might I point out weeping, crying, boohooing, etc. is a hallmark of liberals everywhere. When they aren’t busy being “fearful of ______” they are “weeping because ________”. Fill in the blank with any cause celeb.

I have a very good friend who is a professor at the University of Texas in Austin. He is of course very liberal. He actually is finding Obama difficult to “swallow” lol but he has opened himself to the otherside he says....He really likes Megan McCain and her politics. OMG, thought I was going to fall off my chair. Point is, she resignates with those who dislike Obama and cant come to say they like R’s..... Its a trend that is disturbing to say the least.

Just sayin

Go away Meghan.

The sad part is that John McCain has other children who are fine, upstanding and private citizens. Some have an honorable tradition of public and military service. Yet this ditz Meghan defines the “next generation” of McCains. Too bad.

Palin wanted McCain to be President more than he wanted to be President. That was certainly obvious to me.

Hey Megham!

I hear that loser Levi is available for you.

He sure needs some help paying child-support to his two baby mamas.

Did you not get your invite to Dancing With The Stars?

“just about everyone involved in John McCain’s presidential campaign – the candidate excluded....”

And speaking of “the candidate,” where has THAT sterling son of the sod been when it comes to sticking up for Sarah anywhere CLOSE to how SHE has stuck up for him?!

IMHO, if he had a toothbrush moustache when he gives that wimpy grin sometimes, he’d be the image of Charlie Chaplin; and since he got back from Nam he’s had about as much honor and character as Chaplin! What have you done for us lately, Johnny?!

And then there’s the big-mouthed daughter. What can I say? The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!

Don’t you think she sees Senator McCain through the lens of being an older military veteran and POW, which is someone to be looked up to? Many don’t realize what a RINO he is and only see his military service.

Think you might have meand RESONATES; but frankly, I wish she would “RESIGNATE”, disappear and never show her face again.
