Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Wednesday apologized to Gen. Mark Milley for what she called "despicable" questioning of the top military general by fellow Republican lawmakers during a congressional hearing, as the Joint Chiefs chairman fielded questions about comments he made following the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, and phone calls he had with a Chinese official to assure them that the U.S. was not preparing an attack. Cheney, during a House Armed Services Committee hearing about the U.S.’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, opened her five minutes of questioning by discussing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, arguing that...

King: Does Obama seem like the same guy who ran against your dad? How do you view him? McCain: He's our president and when the election was over and when President Obama won, all negative feelings were gone. I support the president.

The weekend did nothing to quell the ongoing war between Meghan McCain and Laura Ingraham. McCain, daughter of presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, came out last week and responded to Ingraham’s remarks that she was "plus-sized," remarks that were a direct result of McCain’s public criticism of the Republican Party. Ingraham’s comments also included some disrespectful dismissal: "Do you think that anyone would be talking to you if you weren’t kind of cute and you weren’t the daughter of John McCain?" She went on to mock McCain as a heavyset Valley girl. McCain wasted no time biting back, and took...

Meghan McCain responds to Laura Ingraham’s attack on her weight: Why is this topic still a socially accepted prejudice—and why in the world would a woman raise it? BY MEGHAN MCCAINRecently my not-size-0 body has come under fire again by the conservative pundit Laura Ingraham. On her radio show recently, she sarcastically commented that I was “too plus-sized to be a cast member on the television show The Real World” and needled me about my weight with a comment about Barbie's 50th anniversary. Instead of intellectually debating our ideological differences about the future of the Republican Party, Ingraham resorted to...

Meghan McCain has been making lots of enemies within the Republican Party. And Laura Ingraham certainly counts as one of them. McCain, the 24-year-old daughter of former presidential candidate John McCain, grabbed headlines this week for taking on conservative author Ann Coulter, who McCain described as "offensive." She kept up the attacks in a discussion with Rachel Maddow, when she intimated that Coulter’s comments make it difficult for the Republicans to court younger voters. Well, none of this pleases radio host Laura Ingraham, who yesterday employed a Valley-girl voice to describe the 24-year-old McCain as "plus-sized." Here’s the transcript, via...

Back in early 2007, about 20 months before the last Presidential election, I wrote a post called “Why I can’t trust John McCain.” I wasn’t alone. A Google search on “I don’t trust McCain” reveals a couple thousand hits. I grew tired of McCain fighting our agenda, voting against tax cuts, bowing to global warming loons, insulting Christian leaders, ganging against us with his liberal “Gang of 14” and passing useless laws with liberals like Russ Feingold. Not to mention his ignoring of CPAC. The Press rewarded him with the name “Maverick” for bashing the Republican Party (if a Democrat...

Meghan McCain put her two cents into the cable babble discussion on the "Democratic plot," as Rep. John Boehner calls it, of a second stimulus package, telling Fox & Friends this morning that it would be a "disaster." But last night, during what McCain Twittered was a "fun, provocative interview" with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow ("P.S. she's got great style..." continued the Tweet), McCain confessed she doesn't know much about the economy.

Meghan McCain, daughter of John, has written a column critical of Ann Coulter. Tonight she appeared on Rachel Maddow’s show to discuss the column and her efforts to push the Republican party in a more moderate direction. I don’t want to be too critical of Meghan. She’s 24, seems sincere and likable, and has the moxie to put herself out there. So let me offer a constructive suggestion: instead of telling us what you don’t like about Republicans, tell us what you do. Meghan did say that she loves the Republican party. But why? If Republicans are going to listen...

NEW YORK, March 10 (UPI) -- Meghan McCain, daughter of 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain, said she was just offering her opinion when she criticized commentator Ann Coulter. McCain, 24, who writes a blog for the Web site The Daily Beast, said the conservative Coulter is "offensive," "insulting" and "confusing." "It's not meant to be mean or nasty, it's just my perspective," she told "Inside Edition" of her remarks.

Nnn Coulter is a nasty, hate-spewing train wreck whose stature in the Republican Party is a recipe for disaster, Meghan McCain blasted in an online essay posted Monday. "I straight up don't understand this woman or her popularity. I find her offensive, radical, insulting, and confusing all at the same time," wrote the straight talking daughter of former GOP presidential candidate John McCain in her latest essay on the Daily Beast Web site. Taking the gloves off, McCain, 24, didn't mince words as she lashed out at people who perpetuate negative stereotypes of Republicans, calling Coulter, 47, the "biggest culprit."...

By JEB BUSH AND KEN MEHLMAN We support the immigration reform compromise worked out in the Senate for a few simple reasons. It strengthens our national defense. It makes our economy more competitive and flexible. It enhances the rule of law and promotes national unity. And it also does these things in a fair, practical way. The bill provides real border security for the first time, protecting us against the entry of terrorists and stemming the flow of illegal drugs. The temporary worker program will reduce the number of people trying to sneak past the border patrol, allowing law enforcement...
