Meghan McCain, Symbol of Our Age: Fame-Whore High On Life in the Public Eye?
Gawker ^ | 5:13 AM on Tue May 19 2009, | Cajun Boy

For a while now we've been mildly fascinated by Meghan McCain.

When she first popped up in the public consciousness through her "work" on her father's failed presidential campaign, there was something sort of endearing about her. We wanted to like her.

But as we've become more and more exposed to her with the passage of time we've come to find her, well, pretty grating, intolerably insufferable, the complete and total embodiment of everything wrong with a whiny-*ss generation of privilege that wants, no expects, everything to just fall right into their precious little laps without having to do sh*t to earn whatever it is they desire.

So Meghan's out there calling out in her Daily Beast column, painfully attempting to enter into the punditry, signing "high six figure" book deals, dropping F-bombs on Twitter, and acting like a diva at gala events, all on the back of her father's name.

So what's the deal with Meghan McCain? What is it that she's angling for here?

Does she truly hope to become a "voice" for a new generation of progressive Republicans, a genuine agent of change, or is she just another fame-whore high on life in the public eye.

Tonight she was on the Colbert Report droning on and on and on about how much the Republican party needs to change its stance on just about everything, from gay marriage to sex education to how it markets itself to younger voters, but then she turned around and talked about how totally AWESOME the Republican party is.

All in all McCain was, well, sort of likeable in that "oh you poor, confused little girl" sort of way, definitely stricken by a deeply-rooted identity crisis. And that's pretty much it.

That's what makes her the new media darling. Liberal media, that is.

...but then she turned around and talked about how totally AWESOME the Republican party is.

She'll soon find out (or she'll simply be told) that that's not good for repeat business.

Six months ago, FREEPERS LOVED Meghan. They used to say quite nice things about her. However, back then she didn’t open her mouth. lol.

I must not have been paying attention, I didn’t even know about her six weeks ago. I never pay attention to anyone under thirty (in the media, or attempting to be a spokesperson-the Sixties choked me on “youth is the future”), and what with the rise of the “adult-escents” and all the ceiling is moving up.

All an attractive woman need do to become uglier than Medusa to me is espouse a philosophy I find grossly distasteful.

A few pounds one way or the other don't matter.

Its human. People tend to think the world needs more people like themselves. She thinks the problem with the GOP is that there aren’t enough people in it like Meghan McCain. Her dad thinks the problem is that there aren’t enough guys like himself.

And, Alan Keyes thinks the world needs more people who think like him, And the freepers think the world needs more people who think like them and ditto for the leftists too.

For me, I wish people would be more polite.

The only thing she is high on is the $3.95 all you can eat buffet at the Sizzler.
