Meghan McCain ‘Speaks Out,’ On Nothing

by Sara K. Smith  

Ok here is something annoying: when your journalistic media groups bill an interview as somebody “speaking out” on a topic when in fact they’re just mouthing the blandest pablum imaginable. Why even bother devoting another whole post to boring old Meghan McCain and her insistence that her boring mother has a really fun sense of humor? Well, because it’s a slow news day, that’s why. Plus HA, she had to be awake and in some terrible TV studio in Arizona at 5 o’clock this morning. [CNN]

Hah. I thought rich people could afford to not be chubby.

Gopherit January 22, 2009 at 11:49 am

Haha….she worked for two years. That’s funny.

She’s going to make great scooter trash at Sturgis.

Monsieur Grumpe January 22, 2009 at 11:50 am

My screen stretches her face out horizontally which gives her some ranine qualities.

sevenrepeat January 22, 2009 at 11:50 am

ok……back to the hot gay intern!

Paterlanger January 22, 2009 at 11:51 am

“Malformed Error”? is that some html gobbledygook or a CNN headline re Meghan McCain? Please let me be the first to take that cheap shot.

shanemacgowan January 22, 2009 at 11:54 am

I want to know if she was wearing heels. http://wonkette.com/405412/americas-sweetheart-meghan-mccain-still-angry-about-sarah-palin-barack-obama

Also, the frequent “you know’s” have disqualified her from being appointed to Mo Udall’s old seat.

Deepthroat January 22, 2009 at 11:56 am

i like her resume on the side bar. “founder of McCain Blogette” I’m the founder of Deepthroat’s facebook page!

Gopherit January 22, 2009 at 11:57 am

[re=225593]shanemacgowan[/re]: But she could run in alaska, also.

Godot January 22, 2009 at 11:57 am

I like how she’s talking about Obama winning now, after he has been inaugurated and started bringing the Hope & Change, as if he has just won and maybe America should think about setting aside its divisions from the election.

GET A JOB BITCH

You expected great thoughts from Meghan McCain? You can’t get blood from a turnip, I’m afraid.

WadISay January 22, 2009 at 12:00 pm

I have taken dumps that “speak out” more than this.

Canmon (the Inadequate) January 22, 2009 at 12:02 pm

CNN’s John Roberts is more eloquent than his namesake.

Lascauxcaveman January 22, 2009 at 12:02 pm

[re=225588]bluetom00[/re]: That was really mean of them to post the video in the squished-down format, making her look ever more of a chubbo. C’mon, Wonkette. Stop being so mean to Meggie.

queeraselvis v 2.0 January 22, 2009 at 12:03 pm

She needs a pearl necklace to match those loopy earrings. If you know what I mean. And I know you do.

DoctorCulturae January 22, 2009 at 12:04 pm

Meghan, poor dear Meghan. People attacked for superficial reasons because that is the political culture your father helped permit and foster over the last 8 years. Get real. If he would have spoken out forcibly against the smears coming from his Rovian superiors a lot of that would have been blunted. Instead, for whatever reason(s) he allowed it to pass. He made a pact with and for the devil’s support. Thus epic fail. I haz sad 4 u.

Kansas Wiley Stafford January 22, 2009 at 12:08 pm

Next thing you know, she’ll announce her candidacy for Hills’ Senate seat.

Deepthroat January 22, 2009 at 12:08 pm

Also, she looks like the head teller at my local Wachovia. Big silver hoops are sooo 2003.

Larry McAwful January 22, 2009 at 12:09 pm

What a hard-hitting interview: “Meghan, what do you think of your mom?” “Oh, I think my mom is great, y’know?”

“Y’know” is how the latest generation of McCains says “My friends.”

CorkPopper January 22, 2009 at 12:12 pm

[re=225610]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: My daughters call earrings like that “Bratz earrings.” Strangely appropriate in this case.

Lascauxcaveman January 22, 2009 at 12:15 pm

I just thought of something. A friend dumped a bunch of old folk music CD’s on my desk the other day, and it occurred to me that Megan looks a lot like the younger, prettier Mary Travers as pictured on the cover of a Peter Paul and Mary album.

Here’s a more recent shot of Mary Travers. http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40608000/jpg/_40608025_maryap_203.jpg

Just sayin’.

The HEAD BOBS! Dear Lord, the sheer amount of head bobs!

Scarab January 22, 2009 at 12:20 pm

When she talks her head shakes more than Katharine Hepburn in her 70s.

HairyIckey January 22, 2009 at 12:20 pm

Moar bearfut laptop pikshurs, less this plz.

hobospacejungle January 22, 2009 at 12:22 pm

[re=225627]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Well that’s not very nice. And oh so appropriate, too!

Scarab January 22, 2009 at 12:26 pm

If you add an ‘H’ to a word for no reason it shows how rich you are; yacht, Meghan, Oprah.

DoctorCulturae January 22, 2009 at 12:33 pm

Lascauxcaveman: Thanks. Pre-eaten oatmeal & coffee now on my keyboard.

El Pinche January 22, 2009 at 12:34 pm

She may be a McCain and a Republican, but her hot purty mouth isn’t.

pondscum January 22, 2009 at 12:43 pm

Can she please go away now? With Palin and JTP? Can’t those 15 minutes be up already?

randomsausage January 22, 2009 at 12:49 pm

mmmmmmm puppy fat…..

Neon Trotsky January 22, 2009 at 12:51 pm

“[Sarah Palin] has a beautiful family.”

I think it’s amusing that this has become the way of saying “I hate this person and won’t praise him/her but won’t directly admit that and need to make some sort of statement” in contemporary American politics (cf. Obama’s “beautiful daughters”)

sevenrepeat January 22, 2009 at 12:52 pm

[re=225601]GlennBecksFelch[/re]: thanks to 8 years of bush she can’t get a job. so she’s just going to talk until her boobs explode.

Mr Blifil January 22, 2009 at 1:01 pm

I’m withholding judgement until she stars in her own Squirt genre vid.

HuddledMass January 22, 2009 at 1:04 pm

[re=225590]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: “ranine” …. wow.

herpezhilton January 22, 2009 at 1:04 pm

[re=225643]Scarab[/re]: Actually, yacht has a “c” for no reason. May I suggest “Murdoch?”

BetterDaysAreComing January 22, 2009 at 1:08 pm

What say we introduce her to Joe the Plumber. They can become ‘Merka’s super couple since Levi, Bristol, and little Conglomerationseditionary Johnston just aren’t cutting it. Imagine how proud daddy would be if his baby married the Average Joe just like he married the Average Cindy.

Monsieur Grumpe January 22, 2009 at 1:13 pm

[re=225712]HuddledMass[/re]:
I’ve been waiting 3 years, 7 months, 1 week, 6 days and a couple of hours to use that word. Reader’s Digest rocks.

Aloysius January 22, 2009 at 1:28 pm

That’s weird: if I didn’t have a job and interviewed my mom on my blog, I would be called a “LOSER” (in all caps cuz thats teh interwub). Instead, she’s called a “Contributer.” What a difference a few random millions make!

rmontcal January 22, 2009 at 1:28 pm

I would have thought she would have more of a smoker’s rasp. Not sure why…

Mitchbailey January 22, 2009 at 1:33 pm

“Puppy fat”? Yeah, but she’s fine…

snideinplainsight January 22, 2009 at 1:48 pm

How about a post on Ashley Biden? She’s the new political hawtness. Plus she doesn’t look like she just ate Wilson Phillips.

WadISay January 22, 2009 at 1:48 pm

[re=225730]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Woah, I thought you meant “canine,” which I could sort of see.

blader January 22, 2009 at 1:58 pm

‘pablum’??? wtf??!! wonkette going all british on us??!?!

KennedyAG January 22, 2009 at 2:22 pm

Is the concept of “media bias” a new idea to her? She sounds like she thinks she’s the first person to implicate the New York Times with that accusation… Sorry, Megan. Ann Coulter and every other shitball on the planet already beat you there.
Additionally, does anyone get the feeling that this is part of the Republicans’ rebranding efforts? New, young, attractive face dutifully repeating the same bullshit they’ve been droning for years. I don’t know. Maybe she’s just being a nutball of her own accord, but I would watch for this developing into a trend.
Be vigilant.

frieswidat January 22, 2009 at 2:27 pm

Does the wording under her pic mean she’s admitted Barry’s her father? With Sarah Palin? She does sorta have his eyes, and definitely Sarah’s wit.

bitchincamaro January 22, 2009 at 2:36 pm

John Roberts should stick to fuckin’ up the presidential oath.

thefrontpage January 22, 2009 at 3:00 pm

Really: Who the hell on this planet cares what Meghan McCain thinks?

CNN: Please stick with reporting real news and talking to real people who matter.

No one gives a damn what MeGag McCain thinks, does or says.

chascates January 22, 2009 at 3:22 pm

[re=225721]BetterDaysAreComing[/re]: Great idea! They should get a Fox reality show as a wedding gift.

mikeyboypdx January 22, 2009 at 3:51 pm

Christ, I’m so sick of both Republicans and Democrats who keep saying “Oh, we have to look forward, not to the past.” Bullshit! It’s the PAST that teaches us valuable lessons about how to not fuck up again: for example, if you stick your hand in the fire, it burns. But let’s not look back to that painful memory, let’s just look at the pretty fire and think about how it must be pretty awesome to stick your hand in ………ARRRRRRRRRHGHHHHH! It burns!

Mitchbailey January 23, 2009 at 7:18 am

[re=225800]snideinplainsight[/re]: I’m just obsessed with chubby blondes. I think it has something to do with my mother…
