John McCain and Sarah Palin have long insisted things are all good between them, even after their losing 2008 presidential effort wound up with a nasty bout finger pointing between loyalists to the two former running mates. But the family members of both candidates are not being so publicly amicable.
As ABC News's Sheila Marikar reports, Bristol Palin trashes the McCain clan in her new upcoming memoir, "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far."
It's unclear from Marikar's report whether the 20-year-old Palin daughter e specifically mentions her mother's running mate, her book does slam McCain's wife, Cindy, for acting like "royalty" and accuses the senator's 26-year-old daughter, Meghan, of being a snobby whiner.
Palin writes that she had a "sneaking suspicion I might need to watch my back" the first time she met Meghan McCain. She says the senator's daughter "ignored" the family during their first meet-and-greet and always seemed to be judging them.
"Every time we saw Meghan, she seemed to be constantly checking us out, comparing my family to hers and complaining," Bristol Palin writes. "Oh the complaining."
Cindy McCain, Palin writes, looked like a "queen" and conducted "herself like royalty." "I'd never seen people with so much Louis Vuitton luggage, so many cell phones, and so many constant helpers to do hair and makeup," Palin writes.

Exactly. I say, let it all hang out. God knows Meghan McCain has done a lot of trashing of the conservative Republicans. I say, go for it - Bristol. Cindy and daughter are the ones who are a disgrace. Even though we’ve paid hell with the obamas in the WH, it probably would’ve been just as bad if the McCains would’ve gotten in. Hopefully, we can elect a true conservative in 2012. If McCain had won, our chances of that happening in 2012 would have been slim to none.
I don’t dislike Bristol Palin like I dislike that McCain daughter, but I wish they would both keep a low profile. This isn’t helpful and not very mature. Let’s forget about the disaster that was McCain and get the jug ears, pinko out of office.
Well, fat Meghan is a snobby whiner and Cindy is kind of snotty too.
But Juan is worse than the other two.
Maybe. And, as one, she sure knows how to nail down an even bigger disgrace like Fathead Meghan.
I'm glad to assume you have perfect children, so my hat's off to you (/s, as if it were necessary).
Not all 20 year olds make bad choices.
Nobody liked it when Levi “tattled” about the Palins.
Bristol is no better.
This does nothing of the sort.
It brings her up again and gets her back on TV.
Instead of just one of them looking like a little high school snot, they both do.
Lose lose for our side, really.
The photo on the article has Bristol’s new face. Wow, hardly recognizable.
“Yes, we all know how easy it is to control the actions/choics of a 20 year old, don’t we?!”
We all are not runnning for president!!
Give em hell there Little Grizzly.
Bristol Palin's comments are no doubt a response to Meghan McCain's remarks about the Palin family in the aftermath of the 2008 campaign. In McCain's memoir, "Dirty Sexy Politics," she slammed the Palin family for bringing a "tabloid-attention-getting quality to the campaign trail." She's repeatedly trashed Sarah Palin for hurting the GOP and called Bristol Palin "ridiculous" for not voting in last fall's midterm elections.There is nothing disgraceful about publishing a response to attacks on your own family with your own perspective. Regardless of whether Bristol has accomplished enough on her own to be worthy of my reading her life story, if a publisher is willing to pay for publishing the book I certainly don't blame her for writing it (or for having someone write it for her)."I guess it's only important to Bristol Palin to vote for 'Dancing With the Stars,' " McCain told late night host Jay Leno in November.
I voted for McCain and had to hold my nose the whole time.
The ONLY two reasons I voted for him was,
1) The alternative (shudder)
2) Palin
Yeesh... teenage drama... Now ~there’s~ something the world definitely needs more of.
amen; and thank you for doing the right thing
Sarah can’t say it....but Bristol can...good for Bristol...
