The Daily Beast columnist Meghan McCain was on 'The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell' (Wed., 8PM on MSNBC), where she and the host responded to GOP Congresswoman Michele Bachmann's response to the State of the Union address. MSNBC did not air the response, but CNN did, which McCain thinks they "should be ashamed of."
Lawrence called Bachmann's statements the "second response to the State of the Union Address," because the designated Republican response had already been given. He agreed with McCain "about how there were these different people who are just using their platforms to their own personal advantage, rather than thinking about what it means for the party."
"I think it's important to note that Michele Bachmann is not a leader and she's not the leader of the Republican Party," McCain said in response. She went on to say Bachmann "is no better than a poor man's Sarah Palin."
She believes CNN should be ashamed of themselves for airing the video of Bachmann, "who couldn't even look into the camera directly," and praised Fox News and MSNBC for not doing so.
While MSNBC may have resisted the urge to run the actual response, they still chose to give it air time in this discussion about its shortcomings, so Bachmann still got her press coverage.
It may not have been positive coverage, but it keeps her name floating around where people might latch onto it and remember it, and isn't that what really matters when you're considering a Presidential run in 2012?
BlueCollarChristian: Megan McCain is not a leader (or any kind of expert) and should not comment on anything.
Like, totally.
This fattie needs to get back into the kitchen and shut it as a good woman should.
One good thing about McCain losing two years ago is that Meghan never became First Daughter. We’d be hearing a lot more of her crap than we do now.
Never worry what the leftist elite says about you unless it’s positive, then (and only then) start worrying!!
On a personal note for all of you guys out there who would you rather take on a nice dinner date, Meghan McCain or, say, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter or S.E. Cupp? Nuff’ said!
