Anyone know what Meghan McCain is promoting, now that she’s in the news and on the teevee shows and doing the Tina Brown monster website thing? Here are two clips from just the past 24 hours, and they’re bad, man, they are BAAAAAD… And yet so funny?
First, on the Rachel Maddow show last night. When asked to describe one economic position she holds — because she’s on teevee, you know, so she must have a lot to say about public policy from her informed perch as a gilded hobo — she says that she agrees with her father on wasteful Pork Spending. Oh did we mention that her famous father is Sen. John McCain?
Then Rachel Maddow — who, bless her soul, is a Rhodes Scholar and Oxford Ph.D. but still managed to sit through this interview with politeness and grace and mercy — asks if she agrees with her father on “the spending freeze.” Even if Meghan had never heard of this, it’s still pretty easy to bullshit for 30 seconds or so. You know, like… spending = giving currency in return for goods and services… freeze = one of Batman’s enemies… run with it… “Well, Rachel, I agree with my father — who is John McCain btw — that the Pelosi-Obama triumvirate should not give the money, dollars in this… this uhhh scenario to the things because then the Batman will lose thank you.” That would have been a perfectly fine answer by cable news standards. Instead, we just get a copout:
McCAIN: Spending freeze? You know, econ – economic things, I said this last night on Hannity, I said is my — I didn’t even take econ in college. I don’t completely understand it so I’d hate to make a comment one way or the other. That’s – truly of all the things – I keep reading and I just don’t understand it.
In the second part of this clip — which the Think Progress communists did not sequence as such by accident — Meghan goes on Fox & Friends and chides Nancy Pelosi for an economic package that does not even exist, and says it scares her when she reads about the Democrats on her dad’s Twitter, her dad being John McCain, the Senator from Arizona.
Meghan McCain: ‘I Just Don’t Understand’ The Economy, But I Think A Second Stimulus ‘Doesn’t Make Sense’ [Think Progress]
I almost kinda felt bad for MegMcC here. Wait, no, that’s not true at all. I’m just waiting for her to be eviscerated by Chris Matthews, like my BFF Ari “under the bus” Fleischer was last night. What an effing bloodbath. Lordy. Also.
Is this part of Meghan’s plan to get laid? If so, FAIL. She whines about having only political Repub political nerds lusting after her. Only political nerds watch 24 Hour Newz Nets. If she really wants to get some then why doesn’t she star in the Bachelorette or some Dating Show?
Never mind all that. Has Meghan “gotten any” lately? Nobody gives two toots about her economic policies, just her love mound.
She looked fatter in black.
“Um, like, I don’t know anything, but, like, my dad is famous so I’m, um, on TV and stuff.”
She doesn’t understand the economy? The apple does not fall far from the tree, me thinks.
I watch this with the theme song from “That Girl” running in my head. It helps.
i can never decide if shes attractive or not, half the time she looks hot, half the time she looks chunky, and all the time she is a total idiot
omygod like you know what-ever!!!!
Economics 101: The “Pelosi-Obama triumvirate” is a duo, (of MEN), dildo…
…dumb and blond, just the way I like ‘em! I’d turn her inside out!
im so tired of all the words people are spewing
especially when they don’t know what they mean
pork,earmarks.socialism,marxism,communism
it’s obvious she doesn’t have a clue
can’t wait for her show on FOX LOL
Your dad’s twitter scares me too, Meghan. So do economy things, and the children of Iraq also. Let’s get together and have a mojito and talk about other things, such as the sex.
Here is Econ 101 for Meghan:
Meghan demands money, Cindy supplies money
Its probably “wrong” that I keep rewinding the part where she talks about “twittering pork” over and over, right?
…I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as uh, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, uh, our education over here! In the U.S. should help the U.S., or, should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.
Hennh FIRST!
ManchuCandidate says:Is this part of Meghan’s plan to get laid?
Only if she likes self described butch lesbians….but even if Meghan likes teh gayz Rachel no likes teh stupids.
Rachel must be really really hard up…….for any Republican.
Rachel really wants to be cerebral and neutral, but she has Oberman’s prodigy stink all over her, and so she’ll crawl to the low ranking repubs until Rush feels it’s safe to go on.
comradepaulson: Win.
I’d stick it to her, big head and all. Is Rachel Maddow really a Ph.D.?
MEGHAN MCCAIN IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR AND ALSO THE YOUTH OF AMERICA IS WHAT IS MEGHAN MCCAIN REPRESENTS TO ME AND SO PRETTY TOO.
hockeymom: For me, it was Thomas Dolby’s “Airhead”
my friends say she’s a dumb blonde
but they don’t know she dyes her hair
she thinks the fighting in Central America’s easily solved
but what to wear to Bel-Air premieres
is a problem she could never resolve…
she’s an airhead
stungun and mace - Kharmann Ghia plates say “Lost in Space”
she’s an airhead
thousands in trust - cusp Aquarius - get serious
she’s an airhead
tinted contacts don’t change the fact that black is black
she’s an airhead
and while I’m impressed with the length of those legs
she’s not an intellectual giant….
she’d like to model or maybe act
or start a magazine
The fact that this twit is on national TeeVee being asked about economics is concrete evidence of the decline of Western civilization. Period.
AngryBlakGuy: I happily and proudly watched that clip with the sound off. Didn’t want to get caught, y’know.
bluetom00: shes a Rhodes Scholar with a phd in philosophy
The whole valley-girl, sorority-sister thing she’s got going on is very hawt/hilarious. Maddow’s level of restraint and mercy were remarkable.
“I only write what I know.” Bwhahahhahhahahhahahaaaaaa! And that would be what exactly?
Michael Steele: “Okay, we gotta roll this campaign out fast. Who do we have in the party who’s a pretty young face, tech-savvy, you know, blogs or tweets or whatever, in touch with the youths? Oh, and who is older than that Krohn kid and younger than 50, and don’t you EVEN bring up those Bush twins…What?…Un-unh, no, I said ‘tech-savvy.’ Skinning meese in the arctic backwoods doesn’t count…Who?…McCain?? Are you kidding me?…Oh, you mean the *daughter*, not the wife. Well, if that’s all we got, let’s get her on FOX and maybe on whatever else all the hip kids are watching.”
Whatever, ignorance and money is teh sexi.
Oh my god. I got hard every time she said “pork” and I think my penis is broken from all the up and down. Also, her “I just don’t understand it” comments made my brain’s obvious lobe explode.
Wait- she is famous for being married to Joe the Plumber?
StephanieInCA: GAH stupid link.
OK, on the one hand, she is kind of stupid and vapid. But on the other, she is a beer heiress. So she’s got that going for her.
MEGHAN MCAIN IS THE NEW JINDAL/PALIN!
M3GZ/DOUTHAT 2012!!
freppish: So why did she tell Blahndy NOT to apologize for being stupid?
Aw, she’s actually kinda cute for a chubster. You gotta remember, the camera adds 20 lbs., so she’d only be a 6 maybe 7 beers in real life, at closing time. Long as she doesn’t talk too much.
I hope Ces Marciulano gives her at least a cameo if/when he ever revives Teenage Girl President.
Why didn’t she just stick with “ECON is.. uh, like… scary!… you know, so I won’t say anything about that… ” and regale us again with the hilarious tales of the recent male suitors who really just want to bone her terrible robot mother? That’s what I wanna hear about.
I haven’t determined if her recent popularity is just part of the brilliant Emanuel/Begala plot to kneecap the Republicans, or if the Repubs themselves can shoulder the blame. Thoughts?
MegMcC definitely puts the fucking lotion in the basket!
Yeah, seriously, WTF is she actually promoting? Why are these fools all over my TV? I think the McCains are in the pocket of Big Pork, because they are promoting the shit out of it, in so many different ways (eating, putting lipstick on, etc.) I think maybe during the war, Johnny Boy had a little pork garnished with walnuts, if ya na’mean, and the pink humanoid offspring was Meghan.
She was auditioning for the empty slot on The Hills.
“Rachel Maddow…managed to sit through this interview with politeness and grace…” C’mon Jim, Rachel had major nipple hardage in that segment.
Wait, I thought she was complaining about not porking enough! MAKE UP YOUR MIND!
When will she share her thoughts on “the Iraq?”
If she’s serious about finding a boyfriend, I hear there’s a dude in Alaska that just broke up with his baby momma…
Okay - wait a sec - I don’t get the teevee, only the interwebs, so I miss out on some shit. I had to look up the actual age of this dimstress and I’m fucking appalled. She’s 24 going on what- 13? FTW. It’s too bad the camera doesn’t add IQ points. She’s all about finding a date and all the mouthbreathers on their nooz stations are happy to let her troll for that someone special in the guise of an actual substantive interview. Honest to christ who the fuck cares what this idiot has to say?
Biden Time: I think the confusion stems from the fact that she feels that there is too much pork in the budget and not enough in Meghan McCain. Its not so much a principled opposition to pork as a complaint about distribution.
O.K., hot, but with a (as my Czech friends say) “naked face”. Still, not hot enough to take a Stratocaster upside the head for.
I enjoyed the part of the Maddow interview when she talks about how she knows so many things because of all of the experiences she’s had.
So let’s see, she’s 24 and been “on the campaign trail” (i.e. “working” for daddy) for the past two years, before which she would have been 22 and in college (rockin’ the Art History), before which she would have been living at home on Mommie’s uber-rich teat.
Looks good for a Young Republican resume…absolutely no life experience and STILL richer than me.
bitchincamaro: I could see Rachel’s gears turning, too. “Damn this bitch is dumb but, lemme see now, would I tap that?”
I was on the fence before… but now that Meghan has gotten the Rachel Maddow seal of approval, I would hit that beefsteak like a drunk hits a minivan full of kids.
Can someone just fuck her the shut up?
When is Meghan finally going to break down and embrace her true destiny of competing for the love of Bret Michaels on a Vh1 reality show? The Bachelor is too classy for her.
Plus, she keeps talking about how she’s always been SOOOO close with her father, but wasn’t he 60 when she turned 12? That must have been an interesting sex talk…”I was wearing a onion on my belt, as was the style at the time, as I fingerbanged Eleanor Roosevelt with a sheepskin rubber. ‘Gimme two bees for a nickel’, I told her…”
It’s about freaking time a republican admitted they don’t understand the economy! If only she could get Jim DeMint to admit to that shit.
Sangwi Ddong Chim: I think she is capitalizing on her new found “celebrity status” spawned her “courageous” remarks about The Skull Coulter and her public whining about how she can’t find boyfriend.
America loves a cat-fight, especially if it is Republican Trust Fund Fatty vs. Aging Republican Tranny Anorexic.
Um, she sounded very peppy and looked pretty, so I felt guilty about how annoying I thought she was. All the experience that she was talking about, and how she’s seen “so much”. When she started to talk about looking for an apartment in NYC, I thought “Ok, so we’re suposed to believe that her taxing job as a Daily Beast contributor (you know, because she has always LOVED writing) is going to fund all of this?” And I read on the Huffington Post yesterday that she was bitching AGAIN about the liberalbiasconspiracycakes against her Dad, and how the white house press corps is “in love” with Obama and let’s him “get away with everything”. And she says “I recognize those faces in the audience”, as some veiled sounding threat that she is going to call them out or something. Yes, we know, you recognize them from the fucking BBQs your dad used to have. Could someone please get this girl a book and or porn deal, so we can just stop the madness already?
Lascauxcaveman: Denny Crane always spoke about “chubby sex” was he talking about her?
Megan says: “Supply and Demand” — isn’t that the latest band out of Flagstaff? They’re hot!
I’m outraged by the sloppy reporting above. Meghan is not scared when she reads about the Democrats–she’s scared of the pork! All that pork! Everywhere, twittering with porkiness. Even her own pork is twittery.
so dumb, so needy. I love you Megan. I bet she has a cute cooter.
“The Pelosi-Obama triumverate” has got to be the best Meghan McCain quote ever!
(Yes, I am aware that she didn’t actually say it.)
Keep it up Meghan–you will have this economy straightened out in no time, and even take Michael Steele’s job, because, why not?
mocowbell: Yes, she’s apparently a graduate of the Elisabeth Hasselbeck OMG ValSpeak School of Political Commentating.
At least Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin sound vaguely smart, as if they actually read and think about things occasionally. Evil, mean, about 3/4 crazy … but basically intelligent, in some malevolent way.
Not so for Sarah P or any of the other Repub Spokesmodels that show up from time to time.
Nervous girl.
I’ll bet she’s an Emotional Eater, poor thing. It’s always tough when your Mom is a whole lot hotter than you are.
randomsausage: shaved in the form of a cute elephant. Aww!!
MysteriousTraveller: She was auditioning to be the empty slut on The Hills.
/fixed
WestEdEd: Yayyy for Olbermann’s prodigy stink!
iolanthe: Cindy isn’t eating whatever she is feeding those kids. She is on the “miserable trollop wife” diet plan.
She needs a little more QT with our dear friend Jonathan Krohn.
Maddow has the patience of a kindergarten teacher.
i respectetd her for admitting she didn’t know what she was talking about. i’d like her to teach that to other republicans. and i’d like to screw her silly. hotsy-totsy!
Itsjustme: Ha! Exactamundo. But I always thought he was talking about himself, on the ‘chubby’ side of the phrase. Which is kinda Eww!
That was a frequently amusing show.
freppish: Ahh, just found it. She’s a political science Ph.D., or the Oxford equivalent, D.Phil., which is worth just a bit more than a master’s but less than a Ph.D. in an American university. Or at least it was, before every university in the country decided it will never again hire another non-cylon human being.
Hey, Meghan! I’ll give you a personal economics lesson to “bone” up on the issues: How many clams for a happy ending?
I watched her on Rachel’s show and I really felt sorry for her. Her parents should just tell her to enjoy her mom’s beer money and stop embarrassing herself on national teevee. I mean since we are all hobos we are drinking more, right?
El Pinche: I was thinking more like an arrow pointing downwards
Speaking of pork, she’s looking a little porky.
I’m still disinclined to find her bangable due to suspicions and uncertainties regarding the viscosity, odor, and volume of her cooze juice. I’m inclined to think she tends to drench the sheets, is impossible to wash off no matter how vigorous the scrubbing, and ends up tagging you with her scent for days. Weeks, even.
She’s not nearly thin enough to be a blonde GOP talking head.
bluetom00: God save me from pedenanticism but…
The D.Phil. (Oxon) is exactly the equivalent of an American PhD.
You generally obtain doctoral degrees at an English university more quickly, but that’s due primarily to a lack of course work. The advanced doctorates in Europe are awarded for work that’s unrecognized by institutions here. It’s like getting another doctorate for a post-doc, another for being the equivalent of an assistant professor, and in Germany, being awarded another for being an associate professor (the habilitation). Only when you get the big doctorate can you go be the head of a department or whatsuch. This is all a sweeping generalization since there are differences between universities within a country.
Oh noes, video is no longer available!
Remember when Jamie Lee Curtis told John Cleese in A Fish Called Wanda, “I don’t want you for your conversation.” Meghan should get used to that sentiment.
Mr Blifil: ugh! ick!
A Fine National Imbalance: It aint the black….
MarSF: Like *Cindy* ever fed those kids.
That was probably Esperanza’s job.
Cindy looks like she lives on champagne and synthetic opiates.
bluetom00: Maddow has PhD in Political Science from University of Oxford.
Props to Meghan for being the first Republican since William Seward to have confessed actual ignorance of an issue. Except for, of course, her famous father, who is John McCain. (”Don’t know much about the economy/Don’t know much about technology/but I do know I hate the pork/and if you also hated the pork too/what a wonderful world that would be.”)
The sad part about the Fox News segment is that Meghan was only the second dumbest blond bimbo on that couch.
Mr Blifil: the viscosity, odor, and volume of her cooze juice
Thank you for that abomination.
For all this talk about banging fat chicks, aren’t they the most likely to lock their virtual vagina dentata onto you and never let go? Telling everyone after one drunken sympathy fuck that you’re her boyfriend and making big plans and everything, thereby making it harder when you finally get tired of the fat and the whining to dump them on the curb where they belong? This happened to me once, and all I did was kiss the fat chick. Took weeks to get her off my trail. And I am no prize-winning stud.
Meghan hid most of her chunk under the desk during the interview with Rachel, but they violated the terms of her agreement to appear by giving us a side view on occasion. The side view was not flattering to Ms. McCain, who obviously inherited the dumpy body of her short, napoleonic father.
I’d hit that, anyway.
This sucks… the GOP gets so many hawt sluts (I.E. - Meggers, The Palin Fam). Us libs only have Sara Smith.
“I only write what I know about”
Oh how I wish this were, in fact, true.
Gah, that’s like watching a cocker spaniel puppy, previously cosseted for glorious sunny years in a soft pink froo froo bedroom, petted, be-ribboned, and fed milk from a bowl by an adoring 11 year old girl only to suddenly be dropped into the middle of traffic in manhattan.
On that second clip, look how they are leaning in hungrily to feed off her vital energy essences.
Um, I didn’t even take econ in college? But my dad’s John McCain? Who ran for president? And he twitters all the time about pork? And so I think pork is really bad?
If the choice is between the
zaftig besotted beer heiress,
who admits her ignorance of
economics, and the army of
“experts” who won’t simply
admit that WE’RE FUCKED, I’ll
go with the chubby wubby every
time.
meghan mccain is the paris hilton of politics…
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/12/ingraham-meghan-mccain/
Okay, I’ll admit it: If you watch her with the sound off, she’s pretty hot, and I’d engage in “relations” with her, easily, and maybe even a second time! She’s looking pretty good here. And she can’t get dates? What? Of course she can. I’d go out with her, and so would about 100,000 other people, easily, in a second. She is pretty hot, actually. At least when she’s not talking politics.
thefrontpage: remember, it would be difficult for her to talk politics when she’s sucking on your pump-action porridge bazooka
OK, I’m trying to get my head around the family dynamics and roles in McCainland. The boys all have to join the military and risk getting their asses shot off, while the girls just have to plump up their tits, paint their faces and keep public diaries until they get married off? How quaint.
