Meghan McCain admits to Romney 'obsession' in 2008 campaign memoir
The Boston Globe ^ | 08/31/2010 | Sasha Issenberg

Posted on 08/31/2010 12:24:56 PM PDT by speciallybland

WASHINGTON -- On the day her father won the New Hampshire primary in 2008, Meghan McCain feared she would be arrested for removing Mitt Romney campaign signs from a Nashua street corner.

"Stealing campaign signs is technically illegal, but I never thought anyone would enforce this. Nor did I expect we'd get caught," McCain confesses in her memoir, "Dirty Sexy Politics," which is released today.

McCain writes that she "had gotten pretty sick" of seeing Romney's signs, particularly a cluster she and friends suspected had been strategically placed outside the McCain campaign's hotel. After stashing several of them in a car trunk, McCain was confronted by a passer-by – and later plotted with her mother's hairstylist to take the fall if local authorities pursued the matter.

"Anybody who was lame enough to pull over and harass people on election day for stealing signs was probably lame enough to follow up and bring some New Hampshire state troopers to arrest me," she writes.

What I want to know is this.

If McCain goes toes up, does Megan get coronated?

She suppressed voter support for her daddy's opponent and she's claimed SHE was harassed on election day?!!!

BTW, ABC-Disney-Hyperion is sponsoring her book tour. This is nothing but a mud throwing campaign by Big Media to taint the GOP.

Frankly this is what the 3rd or 4th story on M McShame. I realize daddy probably told her to keep her trap shut during the primaries.

WHY are WE being tortured with her mindless ramblings?

Yet another political sociopath. If she does it and gets away with it then it’s OK.

Not that Romney isn’t cut from exactly the same cloth.

>> Memoir? WTF? she’s hasn’t done anything with her life....

Good observation. Most people write their memoirs AFTER living a significant and successful (or at least colorful and notable) portion of their lives.

On the other hand, if by writing her memoir Meghan is indicating that the significant, notable portion of her life is now OVER, and we’re done hearing from her... well, I can live with that too. :-)

Frankly I was a mite surprised at the thread title, thinking I was going to be reading about how hot she found Romney, a crush-obession ... surprised at that because she strikes me as not playing on that *team*.

After stashing several of them in a car trunk, McCain was confronted by a passer-by – and later plotted with her mother's hairstylist to take the fall if local authorities pursued the matter.

Really, really illegal, and just as when Billy Jeff conspired with Monica, admitted by his own Impeachment lawyer, the breathy Cheryl Mills that they agreed if they were ever asked, officially or otherwise, they would lie and say they'd never spoken (hence the gifts under Curry's bed), here is little McCain conspiring with her mother's hairdresser to commit perjury as well. Lovely.

Considering skirting the law afterward -- did the apple fall far from the tree?

Too bad Palin doesn’t have the polish of having been an Ivy League grad like this twit. (eye roll) It wouldn’t shock me if she were among those trashing Palin anonymously during and after the campaign.

A perfect example of the elitist mindset. This woman (child?) has accomplished nothing in life other than being lucky enough to come out of a privileged womb, and yet gets this attention.

It also shows the mindset of privileged parents, like John McCain. May we only hope that she marries an illegal alien that her father loves so much.

Meghan McCain is a fat, stupid attention whore. The only thing Paris Hilton has on her in that regard is a figure.

“Technically illegal”??????

What kind of education did this bimbo get?

It is also ‘technically illegal’ for an intruder to this country to hold a job.

It is “technically illegal” for me to rob a bank or write a check on a closed account.

There are a million things that are ‘technically illegal’ for people to do. Those of us with ethics don’t steal other candidates signs-—no matter who our family members are.

Why isn’t she being prosecuted?

I don’t find this one little bit funny.

Unless the memoir is about what she’s eaten every day since puberty there won’t be much in it.

Hmmm I bet she came up with that title all by herself. Not. Sounds like a play on the tv show Dirty Sexy Money. She would have fit well as a brat on that show although she couldn’t have played that part of either of the slim & trim daughters. LOL

As much as I despise Obama, who is clearly and by a huge margin the most destructive figure in American history, I would NEVER steal an Obama sign. I might refuse to work for someone with such a sign (in fact, I used to double my rates for those people and now more than triple them), but I would not commit a crime or take a moron’s private property. John McCain did a pretty poor job of raising this little girl, and he should be ashamed of his failure. Doing the right thing is always the right answer, even when dealing with Obama and certainly when dealing with Romney (whom I don’t particularly like, even though he’s a whole lot better than the socialists).

Stealing campaign signs is a direct attack on First Amendment Free Speech.

Does anyone wonder where she learned such disdain for one of our most important natural rights?

I saw this scaggy-skank-whore on a morning news show today. (I normally don’t watch any TV but was setting up a new set for a friend.)

Oh man, was this McCain whore hideous and disgusting!

The professional-fellatio-artist/reporter asked her if she would support Palin if Palin were nominated and the skank-whore said:

“I don’t want to engage in hypotheticals right now.”

As if she were somebody important.

As if anyone anywhere (outside of her senile old man) gives a good flying f* what she thinks about ANYTHING!
