Meghan McCain: Who You Calling a Blue Blood, Sarah?
Daily Beast ^ | Meghan McCain

Posted on 12/01/2010 8:19:17 AM PST by Bigtigermike

Last week Palin dismissed the Bush family as “blue bloods” but Meghan McCain, who admits she's one, says the media star is a playing a dangerous game that will tear apart the Republican Party. Welcome to the echo chamber! This week's (or possibly month's) latest rhetorical talking point is "blue bloods." And guess what? In the way it has been used I am probably considered one and so is the entire Bush family, not to mention countless others. And who else would deliver such a catchy media talking point than, yes, Sarah Palin. The reference to "blue bloods" was made after former President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara said in an interview that they thought Mitt Romney was essentially the man to watch in 2012, followed by an extra zinger from the notorious straight talking former first lady Barbara Bush who said she thinks "Sarah Palin should stay in Alaska." Sarah Palin responded on the Laura Ingraham radio show saying "of course they think that, the Bush's are blue bloods."

I actually had to Google what the meaning of "blue bloods" was, although I could surmise that it was some kind of knock against education and coming from a family of some success. Yes, in essence that is what this statement meant. Families that work hard and achieve a long line of successful people are "blue bloods" and thus, she implied the opinions of said people are jaded and elitist, even if that family lineage has a long history of public service and leadership within Republican

Meghan reminds me of the stereotypical fat girl in class who is always wanting to start a fight - in public - to get some attention.
Bingo.

I think her right shoulder has been amputated! She also appears to have had a jowl-ectomy... Nicely photoshopped.

If you cut Meghan McCain, she would bleed sausage gravy.

“Posting an article from this spoiled brat only encourages her. We should all just ignore her...”

I agree. All this little snot craves is attention. A useful idiot for the left is all she is.

Our current Boob In Chief has started to catch on about making personal responses to every critic. He still slips up.

Baba Wawa tried to get him to speak on Palin and he said he didn’t think about her. I am certain he spends most of his time thinking about himself though. LOL

He must have gotten a “talking to” from his handlers.

Could it be that maybe we just don’t get it? There are the elite selected ones, and they are chosen by other elites, as they think it should be, and that’s why they are called the “powers that be”. Our mission has been directed and if accepted, is to fall in line and vote party line as determined by the “powers that be”.

I oppose that belief and that’s why I became proudly independent. I vote candidate not party and that’s the way it’s going to be for me henceforth.

I actually had to Google what the meaning of "blue bloods" was,

Meghan McCain's Governmental Dictionary:

Constitution- What happens when I eat too much of the wrong stuff.

Magna Carta- That big cart room service brings me food on.

Emancipation- I tried it once but didn't lose any weight.

Quid Pro Quo- That uncooked seafood is just yucky.

Conservatism- Stuffing some dinner rolls in your shirt to eat later.

Compromise- Giving the other guy what he wants so he'll like you. Daddy and Uncle Lindsey told me that's how America became such a great place.

Socialism- That's those rules about how to act in public that Mama taught me, like don't talk with an entire glazed ham in my mouth.

lol!

She is a definite diva, for sure. But don't think the Vanderbilt blue blood syndrome exactly fits.

If coreless megan is to be the spokesman for the nasty side of the republican party, she is doing a great job.

She has turned me off, totally.

And if she is to represent the direction of the republican party, I am out of it, ASAP.
