Meghan McCain: I Have No Regrets About Bashing Sarah Palin

Talking Points Memo ^ | 10-20-2014 | Brendan James

Meghan McCain might change a few words around, but she's not too worried about how her criticisms of Sarah Palin have aged over the past few years.

In an interview with Politico, the TV show host and daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) stood by her remarks against her father's onetime running mate.

“You know Sarah Palin, some of the stuff I said, again I would maybe term differently,” McCain said. “But I think the criticism I have said of her is fair."

In her 2010 memoir, "Dirty Sexy Politics," McCain wrote that Palin's selection as the vice presidential candidate brought her father's campaign "drama, stress, complications, panic and loads of uncertainty."

"Sarah Palin. She was turning out to be somebody who leaves a wake of confusion and chaos -- to the point of dizziness -- wherever she went," she wrote.

More recently, McCain appeared on the Howard Stern Show and compared Palin to an oddball relative.

“[I]t’s like my crazy aunt or something that people all want to tell me about,” she said.

Back during the 2008 election, fellow Conservatives were supporting Governor Sarah Palin and simply had to take Senator John McCain along as extra baggage.

[Bullish]

"Sarah Palin. She was turning out to be somebody who leaves a wake of confusion and chaos -- to the point of dizziness -- wherever she went,"

She's a loser just like her father and all she leaves in her wake are filthy, stained bed sheets. Your 15 seconds of non-fame are up Mehgan.

Fact is, Palin saved McCain’s butt. He’d have lost worse than Mondale had he not picked her.

Somebody remind me exactly what precisely Meggie has accomplished in politics…no, let’s make it easy…what precisely she’s accomplished in her life that she has the right to criticize Governor Palin and have her criticisms taken seriously. No, sweetie, being a senator’s daughter is not an accomplishment.

I didn't think anybody could be dumber than Juan.
Megan proved me wrong. . .

[kjam22]

I’m just saying... anyone who would go on the Howard Stern is morally bankrupt. Their opinions or thoughts mean nothing to me.

[Rummyfan]

One would have to possess a tinge of self-awareness to have regrets.

[McGruff]

Who is Meghan McCain?

[Jack Hammer]

“...turning out to be somebody who leaves a wake of confusion and chaos — to the point of dizziness...”

Uh, that was your father, dear.

[Olog-hai]

Isn’t she Sandra Fluke’s girlfriend?

[DeaconRed]

"Isn’t she Sandra Fluke’s girlfriend?"

YEP and they don't need condoms. . . . .

[Tainan]

"Hey Meghan...Show us your ....oh, never mind - Ben there, Done That"

[Arthur McGowan]

“But I think the criticism I have said of her is fair."

Is English like--Meghan McCain's like--second language?

[b4its2late]

Does anyone care what either McCain says or thinks?

[Shimmer1]

My sentiments exactly.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Sarah Palin has done more for America than Meghan has or ever will. People like her in both parties have ruined Palin to a point she will never hold public office again. Thanks Tina Fey! It is our loss. Someday soon we will need Palin.

[Washi]

I’m sure she has no regrets.
It’s made her very popular with her fellow, leftist, airheads.

[NTHockey]

>>Someday soon we will need Palin.<<

We have needed her since 2008.
