Dear Meghan McCain - As someone who has attended several Tea Parties in my state and who has close friends across this nation who attended and/or organized Tea Parties in their own state, I feel as though I may have a little more of an inside picture as to what the Tea Parties are about. To steal a phrase oft used by the current President, let me be perfectly clear, "innate racism" is not anywhere on the agenda. I'd like to enlighten you a little bit about Tea Party attendees, since apparently it is a topic on which you are...

Last weekend's National Tea Party Convention continues to color this week's new cycle, though the majority of headlines that have come out of Nashville thus far have tacked away from the positive in the direction of the down-right comical. (I can't be the only one crossing my fingers in hopes that a Tina Fey "palmprompter" sketch is in the works for "SNL.") As PD's Mary C. Curtis reported, convention attendees showed up for the political red meat and, boy, did they get it. Though Sarah Palin was the belle of the ball, it was former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) who...

GLENN: Meghan McCain, like, she is like so cool. First start with the progressive, the progressive line from Meghan McCain. Can you do that? PAT: The progressive, yes. GLENN: Here she is. She's a progressive. I don't know if you know that. MEGHAN McCAIN: I consider myself a progressive Republican. PAT: Do you want the whole thing is that enough? GLENN: No, is there any more that needs to be said before that? PAT: No, no. STU: I vote for enough. MEGHAN McCAIN: I consider myself a progressive Republican. I consider myself a progressive Republican. I consider myself a progressive...

Hollywood- After languishing away for years in development purgatory it appears that Hollywood might finally be moving forward with its long awaited biopic of celebrated politico “it girl” Meghan McCain. Announcements were made today that a new director has been added to the project. In addition producers have confirmed that famed documentary film maker, and world-renowned auteur, Michael Moore will be portraying the platinum Pandora of poli/pocket-sci when she makes her transition from mere cellulite to the more fabulous celluloid. Troubles have plagued the project since Warner Brothers bought the property in October of 1984. Many industry insiders have questioned...

I always love how progressives pretend to be tolerant, but become the most obnoxious intolerant dictators the world has ever seen when faced with criticism, no matter how mild it may be. Case in point: A while ago, I criticized Meghan McCain, Senator John McCain’s daughter, for calling herself a “progressive republican” and for saying that “revolutions start with young people.” Oh, that and for being the out of touch leftist elitist snob she really is. Being a new yet passionate Tweep (is that the word to describe someone who loves to tweet?), I tweeted my distaste for this Britney...

Meghan McCain was blessed by birth -- she was born into a rich family, the daughter of a United States Senator/ex-presidential candidate. She was not, apparently, blessed by genetics, because she is one of the dumbest human beings walking the earth (and she didn't get her mom's good looks, either). The media adores her because she is a disgrace to her father; she adores herself because she's able to get attention by flaunting her boobs and her liberalism. She's like one of the simpering moron children of an old-style British lord -- she'll get marriage proposals simply by existing, but...

Don't ask why the "news" is all aflutter for Meghan McCain, but earlier in February, she issued another of her sub-intelligent messages, on a forum – ABC's "The View" – that is a fertile seedbed for mind-sapping stupidity: The tea-party movement was "innately racist," Meghan said.

ABC News' Huma Khan reports: Meghan McCain, the daughter of former GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and a self-described “progressive Republican,” today assailed the tea party movement. Sitting in as co-host on “The View” today, McCain said she has ideological differences with the movement. She specifically took aim at remarks by former Congressman Tom Tancredo, who suggested that people who voted for President Obama could not pass a basic civics literacy test.

The Pasadena Tea Party Patriots are proud to present Victoria Jackson (SNL, Tonight Show) and Basil Hoffman (Seinfeld, Milagro Beanfield Wars) in an original spoof of the Republican most loved by the cast of "The View."

Meghan McCain writes that she was disappointed in Arlen Specter’s decision to bolt the GOP. No matter what some Republicans say, he’s exactly what the party needs. The frenzy over Sen. Arlen Specter's decision to switch parties has only just begun. As usual whenever there is major political news, my email inbox exploded with reader reactions. One in particular stood out: “You are not a new face for the Republican Party. You are the problem with the Republican Party. If you'd like to be a feel-good liberal, there's a party for you. Do like Specter and stop wrecking the GOP....

Sen. John McCain's daughter called into question the political stature of the Tea Party movement Monday and sharply criticized a former congressman for his controversial comments at a recent major gathering of these conservative activists. Former Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colorado, slammed President Obama on the first night of the Tea Party convention last week in Nashville. Tancredo, known for his outspoken views on illegal immigration and his disdain for Sen. McCain, charged during his speech that "People who could not even spell the word 'vote', or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. His...

This is probably not the description Charlie Crist would have wanted to hear from the daughter of the Republican presidential nominee: The president of UF’s College Republicans asked (Meghan) McCain which candidate she likes best. McCain said she campaigned with Crist and sides with him because of his moderate views. “I know it seems he’s made a lot of mistakes,” she said. “But I still think at the end of the day, he’s the better choice.”

Meghan McCain Says Sarah Palin Could Win 2012; Sen. McCain ‘Coming Along’ on Gay Marriage January 28, 2010 3:30 PM Meghan McCain ABC News on Campus reporter Miles Doran blogs: While many were watching President Obama’s State of the Union address on television Wednesday night, about 400 people gathered at the University of Florida in Gainesville to hear Meghan McCain, daughter of senator and 2008 presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), speak and take questions. The 25 year-old, self-described “progressive Republican” and supporter of marriage equality called for a return of civility to politics. "I am asking the Republican party...

Meghan McCain believes in limited government and the pro-life platform. She also supports the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But she believes the Republican Party needs to evolve. McCain spoke at the University Auditorium Wednesday night, and about 360 tickets were distributed for the event. She was paid $10,000, according to the UF Student Government Finance Office. “The Republican party has a serious PR problem,” McCain said. “Anyone who doesn’t think so is smoking something.” Describing herself as a “progressive Republican,” McCain, the daughter of U.S. Sen. John McCain, focused on the need for civility within the realm of politics...

It's been a little worrisome lately because we, as a nation, have not heard much from Meghan McCain. How can she be the future of the Republican Party if she hides herself away, not blogging, lunching with starlets or feuding with Ann Coulter? But: Never fear, America. McCain has tweeted her upcoming book title, and Beltway Confidential cannot wait to read it.

Why is Heidi Montag hailed for showing off her surgically enhanced chest while Jessica Simpson is mocked for displaying natural cleavage? Meghan McCain on the double standard for double Ds. Let’s face it—America is obsessed with breasts. In every form, on any woman, in every way. But lately I’ve noticed a more celebratory and mainstream acceptance of women who undergo augmentation surgery versus those of us whose breasts come from nature. As I see it, it’s just another facet of our Puritanical hypocrisy—as if one eye is a school marm obsessed with modesty, and the other is winking, begging for...
