Meghan McCain ‘Speaks Out,’ On Nothing

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.

  2. Gopherit says at 11:49 am, January 22nd, 2009

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

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

  3. Monsieur Grumpe says at 11:50 am, January 22nd, 2009

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

  4. sevenrepeat says at 11:50 am, January 22nd, 2009

    ok……back to the hot gay intern!

  5. Paterlanger says at 11:51 am, January 22nd, 2009

    “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.

  6. shanemacgowan says at 11:54 am, January 22nd, 2009

    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.

  7. Deepthroat says at 11:56 am, January 22nd, 2009

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

  8. Gopherit says at 11:57 am, January 22nd, 2009

    shanemacgowan: But she could run in alaska, also.

  9. 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.

    so dang unfiltered

  11. GlennBecksFelch says at 12:00 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    GET A JOB BITCH

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

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

  14. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 12:02 pm, January 22nd, 2009

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

  15. Lascauxcaveman says at 12:02 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    bluetom00: 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.

  16. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 12:03 pm, January 22nd, 2009

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

  17. DoctorCulturae says at 12:04 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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.

  18. Kansas Wiley Stafford says at 12:08 pm, January 22nd, 2009

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

  19. Deepthroat says at 12:08 pm, January 22nd, 2009

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

  20. Larry McAwful says at 12:09 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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.”

  21. CorkPopper says at 12:12 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    queeraselvis v 2.0: My daughters call earrings like that “Bratz earrings.” Strangely appropriate in this case.

  22. Lascauxcaveman says at 12:15 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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’.

  23. Save the Obama Drama for your Mama says at 12:16 pm, January 22nd, 2009

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

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

  25. HairyIckey says at 12:20 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Moar bearfut laptop pikshurs, less this plz.

  26. hobospacejungle says at 12:22 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Lascauxcaveman: Well that’s not very nice. And oh so appropriate, too!

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

  28. DoctorCulturae says at 12:33 pm, January 22nd, 2009

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

  29. El Pinche says at 12:34 pm, January 22nd, 2009

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

  30. pondscum says at 12:43 pm, January 22nd, 2009

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

  31. randomsausage says at 12:49 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    mmmmmmm puppy fat…..

  32. Neon Trotsky says at 12:51 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    “[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”)

  33. sevenrepeat says at 12:52 pm, January 22nd, 2009

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

  34. Mr Blifil says at 1:01 pm, January 22nd, 2009

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

  35. HuddledMass says at 1:04 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe: “ranine” …. wow.

  36. herpezhilton says at 1:04 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Scarab: Actually, yacht has a “c” for no reason. May I suggest “Murdoch?”

  37. BetterDaysAreComing says at 1:08 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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.

  38. Monsieur Grumpe says at 1:13 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    HuddledMass:
    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.

  39. Aloysius says at 1:28 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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!

  40. rmontcal says at 1:28 pm, January 22nd, 2009

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

  41. Mitchbailey says at 1:33 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    “Puppy fat”? Yeah, but she’s fine…

  42. snideinplainsight says at 1:48 pm, January 22nd, 2009

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

  43. Monsieur Grumpe: Woah, I thought you meant “canine,” which I could sort of see.

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

  45. KennedyAG says at 2:22 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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.

  46. frieswidat says at 2:27 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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.

  47. bitchincamaro says at 2:36 pm, January 22nd, 2009

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

  48. thefrontpage says at 3:00 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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.

  49. chascates says at 3:22 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    BetterDaysAreComing: Great idea! They should get a Fox reality show as a wedding gift.

  50. mikeyboypdx says at 3:51 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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!

  51. Mitchbailey says at 7:18 am, January 23rd, 2009

    snideinplainsight: I’m just obsessed with chubby blondes. I think it has something to do with my mother…
