I cannot believe I'm agreeing with Judith Warner, but, well, stranger things have happened. Today, Warner writes that even a liberal like her can't help feeling sorry for Meghan McCain, who's making a national fool of herself. Excerpt: You can't, after all, go on national TV, all perky and blonde and blushing and young, and endowed with a soapbox years before you've paid your dues and, while talking about how Republicans should reposition themselves on sex, say, "I would never wanna practice anything I didn't preach." Even with the best of intentions. Even if your larger point -- that the...

Those McCains are one rowdy political family. We all know the stories about John McCain — whether it's the senator's supposed short temper or his "mavericky" attitude. Well, maybe the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The senator's daughter, Meghan McCain, supposedly got a bit testy at last weekend's White House Correspondents Dinner, according to the New York Daily News. McJunior apparently tried to bring two guests to the exclusive party — but she had only one extra ticket.

The eldest child of John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate during last year's US election, has launched a foul-mouthed and extended defence of herself on the "microblogging" service Twitter after she was accused of having accomplished nothing in her life. Meghan McCain, 24, used her Twitter account, which limits users to messages of no more than 140 characters, to send out a long string of "tweets" in which she listed her achievements. The curriculum vitae apparently includes teaching children at church, delivering flowers to hospital patients, and writing a best-selling children's book about her father's life.

Meghan McCain: We Need More Gay Republicans! By David Knowles Apr 13th 2009 10:00AM Here's a question: Can Meghan McCain, the blog-a-lot daughter of Senator John McCain, help bring the Republican Party into the twenty-first century? Well, with her column at The Daily Beast, and during her many television interviews, she sure is giving it a go. Today's screed, for instance, attempts to light a fire under the Republican posterior on the matter of including gay rights in the party platform: If the Republican Party has any hope of gaining substantial support from a wider, younger base, we need to...

Captain Ed Morrissey points out that, according to her Twitter feed, Meghan McCain has found the comedic Holy Grail: (Tweet #1 and #2) To the people at current that created this, I am flattered beyond words. I can officially die a happy woman. Officially the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life (and I have seen my fair share). Thanks for correctly animating my bootylicious body :-) LOVE IT!!!

Now Ms. Meghan McCain is anything but a young Britney Spears type "air head" celebrity. She is a 24 year old, 2007 graduate of Columbia University. She has already written regularly for Newsweek Magazine and has been an active political blogger since her father, Senator John McCain, began running for his party´s 2008 nomination. She admits that she has only been a "real Republican for less than a year," and she is anything but a die-hard GOP conservative. She is a "moderate" that currently supports gay marriage, stem-cell research and in 2004, she voted for the Democrat, John Kerry. What...

Meghan McCain is a few major media appearances away from being known as the "new young Republican" and voice of moderate conservatism, says the Atlantic Monthly. We don't know about all that, but it is fun sometimes to follow this local celebrity's life on the Internet. It turns out that we share an appreciation for ...and You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead. Following her post in the Daily Beast earlier this month in which she laments that she can't find the right man, we were relieved to hear the post has resulted in numerous date offers. On...
