Meghan McCain: My Family Of War Plutocrats Is Better Than Yours!

Confession: We are still too scared to review unemployed blogger Meghan McCain’s frightening new volume of children’s propaganda. Soon! Until then, watch this brief clip of Meghs on this morning’s Today show. First she barks that her father is “obviously a famous war hero” and then — and then! — she adds, “No one knows what war is like other than my family. Period.” O RLY? [YouTube]

    and what say ye, oh ye Veterans of Foreign Wars and such?

  3. ManchuCandidate says at 10:32 am, September 9th, 2008

    Dearest Underemployed Lady of War Meghan

    Navy and Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children are always looking for McCains to fill their ranks. Hint. Hint. Hint. Hint. (Normally I’d suggest Army, too, but I figured she would rather follow in her naval ancestors footsteps.)

    MC

    PS: FUCK YOU.

    Any expert on body language could confirm she’s lying through her teeth. She still has a crush on Obama. And she HATES daddy’s new girlfriend.

    Yeah, those Vietnamese, Iraqis, Afghanis, Palestinians, Georgians, Chechnyans, Russians, Lebanese, Israelis, Koreans, Laotians, Cambodians, former Yugoslavians, Algerians, sub-Saharan Africans, Central Americans, etc. think they know soooooooooooooooo much about war. What a bunch of whiners.

    ManchuCandidate: She does have a strange resemblance to Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket…

  7. I can hear the thunder of thousands of prosthetic legs smashing televisions. There’s a storm comin’, lass. Better run for cover.

  8. >>“No one knows what war is like other than my family. Period.”

    Carry on the family tradition Megan: http://www.goarmy.com

    Also, Chuck Hagel, John Kerry, Bob Dole, George McGovern, etc. say Die in a Fire.

  9. mookworthjwilson:
    “Your ass looks like 200 pounds of chewed bubble gum.”

  10. Weird that both of the members of the Republican ticket have developmentally disabled children… What are the odds?

  11. ManchuCandidate says at 10:45 am, September 9th, 2008

    mookworthjwilson:

    Which quote best describes Private Pyle McCain?

    1) Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Were you born a fat, slimy, scumbag puke piece o’ shit, Private Pyle, or did you have to work on it?

    2) Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Oh that’s right, Private Pyle, don’t make any fucking effort to get to the top of the fucking obstacle. If God would have wanted you up there he would have miracled your ass up there by now, wouldn’t he?

    3) Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Bullshit. It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama’s ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress.

    4) Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Private Pyle you had best square your ass away and start shitting me Tiffany cufflinks or I will definitely fuck you up!

    5) All of the Above

  12. I’d still tap it.

    Walnuts’ father and gradfather were admirals. He went to the Naval Academy, joined the Navy as soon as possible, spent 5 years as a POW, then spent the next 35 years using it justify his existence.

    Walnuts without a war would be like when Morgan Freeman’s character gets paroled in Shawshank Redemptioin. The man just LOVES war the way the rest of enjoy a stiff martini.

  14. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:48 am, September 9th, 2008

    Meghan knows more about war then anybody, because she is in proximity of a famous war hero. Therefore, Meghan should be veep, because of September 11th.

  15. MoodProcessor says at 10:55 am, September 9th, 2008

    The Shieldmaiden of Arizona speaks truth in the warmongering ways of her father.
    “Daddy loves war. He’s a expert.”

  16. mookworthjwilson says at 10:55 am, September 9th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: All of them…I would like to watch Meghan choke herself…

  17. Gregory_of_Nazianzus says at 10:57 am, September 9th, 2008

    Monkey: Still? Doesn’t she have time to do some stomach crunches in between blog posts? I guess she’s letting herself go now that she’s not sleeping her way through Columbia.

  18. JayRodriguez says at 10:57 am, September 9th, 2008

    John McCain has nothing on Captain Koons. Koons may have spent ONLY 5 years in that Hanoi Hell but during the last two he had a watch hidden in his ass. Tell Captain Koons he knows nothing about war, Meghan.

  19. SayItWithWookies says at 10:58 am, September 9th, 2008

    Being just a never-enlisted hippie civilian myself, I would love to sit down with Meghan McCain and discuss the finer points of counterinsurgency, especially highlighting the British experience in Malaysia, the French in Indochina, the Soviet and NATO experiences in Afghanistan and the US — oops, I mean coalition — occupation of Iraq. I’m sure my sorry-ass book-learnin’ and her genuine war-heroeness-by-osmosis could come to some sort of informed consensus on the topic.
    Then we’d have a pillowfight and a bubble bath.

  20. MoodProcessor says at 10:58 am, September 9th, 2008

    “Yay Me! I’m Rich!”

  21. YellowSnow says at 10:59 am, September 9th, 2008

    Mehgan, why are you letting America down? As far as I can tell you have no living children to your credit, you graduated from an Ivy-league school without transferring, you have no religious enthusiasm, you have not gone off to war yourself, and you have no secret meth labs. Please, get on the bandwagon and join the craziest party this country has ever seen. 4 MORE YEAR$!!!

  22. StripesAndPlaids says at 11:00 am, September 9th, 2008

    “No one knows what war is like other than my family. Period.” Because when my dad calls my mom a cunt, and she cuts off his allowance, THAT is war, my friends. REmember when daddy was flying coach after his campaign blew up? That was a decisive battle in the war between mommy and daddy. He retreated in defeat, by the way. Agreed to only refer to her as a vagina american and not a stupid cunt. Oh by the way, my new book is FIVE AND A HALF PAGES, ALLEN!

  23. mookworthjwilson says at 11:00 am, September 9th, 2008

    Gregory_of_Nazianzus: Damn girl always looks like her clothes are made out of Hefty lawn and leaf bags…

  24. DoctorCulturae says at 11:01 am, September 9th, 2008

    It is utterly unsurprising she is a dim bulb nitwit.

    What is surprising is, evidently, the lack of a followup question to this comment. Did Ms.Viera let her off the hook from her original question about McHuh not getting it? If she did then she’s promoting teh stoopid. If she did not ask because of FEAR or Repunsmut reprisal or her corporate jitterbugging bosses, then she is equally a fail.

    The appropriate response is “What the hell do you mean by saying that?” I want to hear Ms. McRestricted respond.

    When McCarthy, Nixon and his friends went down it was because they could not answer pointed questions. Even Campbell Brown got it right the other night.

  25. As my mom, a Republican by the way, said back when there was all that flack about the letter Bill Clinton wrote to his ROTC commander.

    “Of course he was trying to stay out of Viet Nam. All of us realized we were doing was stuffing our children down a rat hole.”

    Nobody knows more about sacrificing their children in useless,stupid wars of aggression than the Palins and the McCains.

  26. Monkey: Seconded, and +1 whore diamond!
    Her family knows more about Clueless, period. The movie.

    Gag me with a spoon! Put me on a rollercoaster and watch me throw up! Fer sher!

    “It was nice to see my dad so relaxed in Meridian (Naval Base) and I don’t think he’s ever really as relaxed as he is around military people.”

    DoctorCulturae:
    Uhhhmmmm….family is off limits, right? I mean, especially when they are eating shoe….
    I wonder if she’s having a $500 lunch during this interview, just like Daddy does whenever he opens his mouth.

  30. MoodProcessor says at 11:08 am, September 9th, 2008

    nyhfrog:
    One change, nobody knows more about sacrificing other people’s children.

    Vote for McCain, and you vote your kids into Iraq.

  31. Hopey don't play that game says at 11:09 am, September 9th, 2008

    Let me propose the new math. The Levi Equation is as follows:

    hit it - condom (election scrutiny * hush money) = jackpot

    Meghan, call me…

  32. Itsjustme says at 11:09 am, September 9th, 2008

    I saw this idiot on television this morning. Why on Earth at the age of 14 was she concerned about whether her father would support her if she had an abortion? 14! Either this girl is a liar about the whole conversation with Walnuts or she was having “The Sex” at 14! Ew, I would never have asked my Father those questions. Oh, BTW, My father served in WWII. I never heard him bragging about it or harping on it.

  33. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:09 am, September 9th, 2008

    …is warmongering genetic? This whole family must must sit around and masturbate to old reel footage of the Normandy beach landing!

  34. MoodProcessor: Change has been read and approved.

  35. I’d say that she clearly meant to say “no one knows what war is like BETTER than my family”, but not only is that still perhaps a bit hubristic (not NEARLY as bad though), but it still makes her look bad because she apparently does not know how to speak English, preferring instead to just mumble her way through things that sound phonetically similar to figures of speech she may have picked up from the teevee.

  36. Yes, going to war as a famous admiral’s son or as a famous senator’s son is exactly like going to war because someone convinced you that you could pay for college if you just served for a few years.

  37. such as and such.

  38. KittyKatMan says at 11:14 am, September 9th, 2008

    Neocon cow. The whole McCain kkklan can suck a dick and choke. Engage Pro-Obama 527’s, fuck this positive shit.

  39. eatsshootsleaves says at 11:15 am, September 9th, 2008

    Oh, my God, can we not do Meghan McCain fat jokes? She looks completely healthy. Stop being assholes.

  40. AngryBlakGuy: These are airtards. They roll with Dresden, Hiroshima, and the Tokyo Fireraids, not Normandy, Guadalcanal, or Anzio.

  41. >>The whole McCain kkklan can suck a dick and choke.

    B - B - BUT THAT’S NOT CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN

  42. DoctorCulturae says at 11:22 am, September 9th, 2008

    KittyKatMan: Right. Thanks Daisy McHuh:

  43. “No one knows what war is like other than my family. Period.” In fact, whereas most families have coffee or orange juice with breakfast, my family drinks human blood. Keeps us ahead of the terrorists.

  44. Monsieur Grumpe says at 11:27 am, September 9th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy:
    A McCain family circle jerk is something I do not want to be visualizing this morning.

  45. eatsshootsleaves: Welcome to Wonkette! you’re offended by “Meghan is fat” jokes? Nobody made a remark, like, “If only Cindy were popping more pills when pregnant, this whole nightmare could’ve been avoided.”

  46. 4tehlulz:
    Easy on the Airtards, please. We’re not all evil warmongers.

  47. Why the hell isn’t _she_ in the military, if her family knows more about war than anyone? She can help figure out how to get more McDonald’s restaurants in modern urban war zones. (Sorry, still can’t get that stupid ‘McDonald’s Theory of War’ out of my head.)

  48. mookworthjwilson says at 11:34 am, September 9th, 2008

    eatsshootsleaves: She looks like she should have the words “Grown in Idaho” stamped on her ass…

  49. God, she’s a war hero and knows about war. I’m really impressed.

  50. StripesAndPlaids says at 11:35 am, September 9th, 2008

    I read something interesting the other day: Alaska has no state income tax and no state sales tax. So the Governor of Alaska can’t cut taxes. Palin, while mayor of Wasilla RAISED local sales tax. You know why? To build a hockey rink.

    “No one knows what war is like other than my family. Period. For my father is McAres, God of War–TREMBLE, MORTALS!”

  53. KittyKatMan: No doubt. It’s time to see some Obama 527s step on McCain’s throat.

  54. Special Agent Jack Mehoff says at 12:00 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Okie-dokie, I’ll just go about the business of removing the milk from my nose now and then continue reading your fine news site.

  55. How nice that her family is poised and grredy to share what war is with the rest of us little people.

  56. Save the cheerleader, save the world.

  57. nyhfrog: John McCain is willing to share that experience with families all across the USA for the next 100 years.

  58. John McCain fought in all wars in the history of mankind. When Ogg the Cro-Magnon whalloped Ooogh the Neaderthal for scorching his toes with his newest invention, fire, John McCain was there to pass him another rock. Cro-Magnons were very conservative, after all.

  59. Itsjustme: Yeah, well, that’s what the Greatest Generation did… they did the job they had to do and they moved on. The Vietnam generation, on the other hand, has made the country be their fucking therapist for the last 40 years while they squabble amongst themselves. My hope for Hopey was that we’d finally moved past the Vietnam generation and their totally fucked up psyches.

  60. That Evening Sun says at 12:14 pm, September 9th, 2008

    StripesAndPlaids:

    To build a hockey rink in a town with no water or sewage treatment plants!

  61. Itsjustme says at 12:28 pm, September 9th, 2008

    StripesAndPlaids: I thought the answer was “because she’s a cunt!”

  62. what i’d like to know is why’d she have to drag her period into it. tmi for me.

  63. Itsjustme says at 12:31 pm, September 9th, 2008

    columnv: Has she served this Country? not like she has anything else to do. Tilting your head side-to-side whilst wiggling your legs and lying your ass off is of no service to this country.

  64. That Evening Sun says at 12:32 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Glad to see that the McCain sons aren’t talking points for the campaign.

  65. wait, did she just call Gov. Palin’s son “TRACK” at the end of the clip?

  66. A Geek Tragedy says at 12:51 pm, September 9th, 2008

    I assume she misspoke and meant to say “No one knows what war is like BETTER than my family.”

    I assume she also misspoke when she said Palin’s son was called “Track” because that is not a human name.

  67. See, the DOD gives all returning soldiers and families and mind erasing pill that makes them forget the war and the experiences of the war. The McCain’s didn’t take the pill and now they live with the memory…..every…day. You just wouldn’t understand……no one would.

    http://thesebastards.blogspot.com/

  68. Slutty_Chola_Cobbler says at 12:54 pm, September 9th, 2008

    The real question is whether McCain’s son(s) will be on the frontlines and would TRACK be on the FIELD??

  69. BaxterJones says at 2:14 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Someone needs more media training before she goes out for interviews. They won’t let the press talk to Palin, but they’re putting her out there?

  70. norbizness says at 2:15 pm, September 9th, 2008

    It looks like she’s developing her Pop’s hairline.

  71. I wish she could come and explain what war is like war to my old neighbor Al, one of two boys in his unit to survive the landing at Omaha Beach. Maybe MeAgain could give him a manicure or some cosmetic coaching? Whatever!!

  72. wilmawonker says at 4:00 pm, September 9th, 2008

    meghs, hehe. lurve it.

  73. moviechick says at 8:48 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Looks like she takes after her Mother in the intelligence department. Meh, Republican children… what do you expect from them? Being stupid is still better than getting knocked up.

  74. Who is the old guy with a full head of hair on the cover of her book? Did she write it about another (thinner) girl with a dad named John McCain? Hopefully this other John McCain didn’t cooperate with the enemy after just 4 days in captivity.

  75. Monkey: ATM
