Meghan Lashes Out At Blog’s Claim That Dick Cheney Is More Important Than Her

Oh Jesus, Meghan McCain’s goin’ nuts, again, on Twitter.

BACKGROUND: the Washington Monthly’s Steve Benen wrote this yesterday: “It was pretty meaningless to hear Meghan McCain urge her Republican Party to come around on gay marriage. It seemed a bit more important when Steve Schmidt, John McCain’s campaign manager, gave the GOP the same advice. But in terms of influence in Republican politics, Dick Cheney is on another level.” Why that’s more or less an objectively true analysis! But it hurt Meghan’s feelings, because of sexism and racism (?), so there’s your Mini-Rant response, up top.

(Later on she Twitter-fights Kos and Glenn Greenwald.)

WTF.

Thank you, 2009, for bringing us such a reliable emergency generator of political comedy — The Washington Twitter Circuit — during this election off-year.

    Twenty-seventh verse, same as the first!

  2. dementor says at 12:55 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Meghan McCain–aspiring to the mantle of Palin, and nearly has her French-tipped claws on it.

  3. american mutt says at 12:56 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Tits or stfu.

  4. DeLand DeLakes says at 12:56 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    *Sigh.* Let’s sing this together, Meghan. *If using the possessive “your,” it’s y-o-u-r, if abbreviating “you are”, it’s y-o-u-apostrophe-r-e!*

  5. Bypartizoa says at 12:57 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Can’t they all just get along?

  6. Guppy06 says at 12:58 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    How dare those sexists ignore the importance she gained through nepotism!

  7. tootsieroll says at 12:58 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    How old is this woman? I sounded like that when I was 15.

    I think Twitter’s “user agreement” statement ought to include the disclaimer:
    “If you are even a remotely famous person, and or especially if you are in American politics, you better think seriously about not opening a Twitter acount.”

  8. El Pinche says at 12:59 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    I keep thinking about guru’s winning comment about twitter and the republicans. Its so true.

  9. Oh, bless her heart. If she didn’t have a rich momma and a famous daddy, she’d be hoping and praying to land a job down at the mall.

  10. Noonan says at 12:59 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    She’s closely approaching the point of comedy where I don’t even wanna hate fark her any more.

  11. ManchuCandidate says at 1:00 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Awwww. But the truth is, you are not important. If you didn’t have a somewhat nice face and your dada wasn’t Walnuts, no one in the MSM would give a shit.

  12. DC Hates Me says at 1:00 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    I’m hoping Twitter will kill the need for idiotic chatter online.

  13. Come here a minute says at 1:00 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Dear Meghan, Finish writing your Meg McCabe novel, “First Daughter, First Love”, then we’ll reevaluate whether anyone should give a fuck about anything you say. Sincerely, the internets

  14. Rumproast says at 1:01 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    I hate Meghan McCain because every time I’m about to stop following her on Twitter (because she’s boooooorrrring), she does something like this and I hang on for a few more tortuous days reading about how elevators smell minty and how very much she hates jet lag.

  15. lizard scum says at 1:01 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Well, Dick Cheney, aside from being an actual figure in the party, has a gay family member, so maybe it carries more weight.

    So keep talking about things you know about, Meghan, like how you’re a “pro-sex Republican.” And as you grow older you will find you have more relevant experiences to draw positions from (pro-abortion Republican?).

  16. assistant/atlas says at 1:02 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    “if you are even a remotely famous person, and or especially if you are in American politics, you better think seriously about not opening a Twitter account.” …. what the hell would the point of Twitter be then, if not to see how the olds and the unhip struggle with the internets.

  17. Country Club Jihadi says at 1:03 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    I guess Meghan can’t spell when she has her period.

  18. WhatTheHeck says at 1:03 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    A mini-rant. That’s so tweet.

  19. tunamelt says at 1:03 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    This does not alter the fact that Dick Cheney is still an unrepentant asshole.

  20. BklynIlluminati says at 1:04 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    She needs an alcoholics moment of clarity. Wait those guys on the left are already doing what i have been twatting about all along , Daddy’s friends are all fraudclowns its all so clear to me now

  21. SayItWithWookies says at 1:06 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Lordy — Dick’s just splitting the difference — saying gay marriage is okay while modestly resigning its fate to the same oubliette earlier reserved for such touchy issues as poll taxes and such.

    Also, Meghan — come out of the closet already. It’s not like the hardcore righties will despise you any more than they already do.

  22. guerilla-nation says at 1:06 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Terry: if she didn’t have a rich momma and a famous daddy, she’d be [i]giving[/i] jobs at the mall.

  23. Rumproast says at 1:07 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    “I guess Meghan can’t spell when she has her period.”

    Let me run that through the Obama Overt Sexism Cloaking Device:

    “I guess periodically Meghan can’t spell.”

    Fixed.

  24. Larry McAwful says at 1:07 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    The last time I was unemployed, I didn’t have net access. The time before that I was unemployed, there was no Twitter. So who am I to judge? But I can say this: you say and think crazy things when you don’t have a job, so I feel Meghan’s McPain.

  25. NoWireHangers says at 1:07 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Oh Meghan. You’re so precious! The only reason anyone gives a fuck about you is because you’re WALNUTS! daughter. And we don’t even care that much. You’re no great political mind, or even a great mind in any capacity. You’re just WALNUTS! daughter. That’s it. You also type and I guess you want us to care, but we don’t. It’s cute that you don’t understand this, though. Maybe you should just get a real job that you’re qualified for without the help of your family name or your daddy? Maybe something in retail? Not even the Bush twins demanded as much attention as you’re demanding, and when they wanted attention they just got drunk like the spoiled brats they are, because they knew their place. Think about it. Ask your mother. She knows.

  26. Serious says at 1:09 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    RT @Wonkette Oh Jesus, Meghan McCain’s goin’ nuts, again, on Twitter.

  27. Serious says at 1:09 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Get it? I retweeted your post.

  28. Zadig says at 1:10 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Oh Meghan, you really do have it rough when I care less about you than crochety gay-appeasing ex-Palpatine impersonator Dick Cheney. But then, even HE had to talk someone into letting him ride their coat-tails into office.

  29. thejesusandmarycheney says at 1:12 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    lizard scum:”Well, Dick Cheney, aside from being an actual figure in the party, has a gay family member, so maybe it carries more weight.” So does Meghan. Those nights in Hanoi were long and hot, but never lonely.

  30. Come here a minute says at 1:13 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    She’s right about one thing:

    I guarantee you if one of my brothers were doing what I am doing right now the Washington Monthly would think it had meaning.

    If John Sidney IV said this, it would be news. He just graduated from Annapolis. WTF has Meg done?

  31. donner_froh says at 1:13 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Terry: Oh, bless her heart.

    I love that put-down. Is that the one that goes with “She tries so hard”?

  32. tunamelt says at 1:16 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    donner_froh: She means well.

  33. Chickensmack says at 1:18 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    DeLand DeLakes: Maybe education isn’t that important to Republicans. Certainly not sex ed, anyway, so what the hell should we care about English and spelling?

  34. Crosseyed and Painless says at 1:19 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    I just got a twitter account. Is it as obnoxious as it seems? Do people really need to tweet 30 times an hour? Is there anything more sad than a twitter-fight? Are these stupid questions? Am I beating a dead horse?

  35. Monsieur Grumpe says at 1:21 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
    She needs to be fixed before she breeds.

  36. 4tehlulz says at 1:26 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Truth hurts sweetie.

  37. paintitblack says at 1:29 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    donner_froh: tunamelt: Isn’t that special?

  38. Hooray For Anything says at 1:30 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    This should be fairly easy to explain- it’s no big deal when a twit twits and it’s no big deal when a dick acts like a dick but it is a big deal when the dick does something for which they are not being dickish.

  39. BlueStateLibtard says at 1:32 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Yes, Megan has so many important “credentials,” like uh, how about flower-delivering and charging things on Mommy’s Amex? She’s certainly paid her dues, and with her vast knowledge and experience, should be able to decide all of our vexing social problems for us.

  40. Cicada says at 1:39 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    OMG GUYS, MEGHAN IS TO IMPORTANT. SHE TOTALLY LOVES THE GHEYZ. I CANT BELIEVE YOUR ALL SO MEAN! I AM SO OUT OF HERE WHEN I TURN 18.

  41. imissopus says at 1:39 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    For fuck’s sake Megs, you Republicans always think you are so put-upon, whether it is white males ranting about reverse racism or you claiming sexism because someone found Dick Cheney’s position on gay marriage more interesting than yours. Now stfu, waddle your fat ass back out to the kitchen, and make me a sandwich.

  42. Come here a minute says at 1:44 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Crosseyed and Painless: Why are you posting those questions here when you could be twatting them?

  43. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 1:47 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Dick Cheney is Meghan McCain’s brother?

  44. 19kevin8 says at 1:47 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    american mutt: I’m holding out for vag.

  45. Marquis de Villers-St-Paul says at 1:50 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    “I guarantee you if one of my brothers were doing what I am doing right now the Washington Monthly would think it had meaning.”

    Is she somehow implying she’s having sex right now? With a man, that is.

  46. Bitch's_Brew says at 1:52 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    We now have a twitter “scandal” in Minnesota. Great.

    http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2009/05/29/twitter_complaint/

  47. catsonmars says at 1:52 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Sorry Meghan, twatting the same thing four times doesn’t meet your quota for contractually-obliged tweets.

    (Also, jesus, you attention whore — fishing for replies much?)

  48. hobospacejunkie says at 1:53 pm, June 2nd, 2009
  49. inedalo says at 1:54 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    she needs to go back to grammar class; obviously doesn’t know the diff. between
    “your” and “you’re”.

    another product of the lousy amer. educational system.

    but i guess that makes her equal to Palin.

  50. 19kevin8 says at 1:55 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    I’d still hit it.

  51. Gallowglass says at 1:58 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Oh Megs. Those Republicans are so sexist and mean. They don’t understand what a precious and unique princess snowflake pony you really are. Please, let me take you away from all this. We’ll go down to city hall and change your political party affiliation, make sweet, sweet love, then I’ll buy you a tuna melt and we’ll talk about your feelings and Important Political Ideas.

  52. Hart88 says at 2:01 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    psssst - Cheney IS more important than you, fucktard.

  53. inedalo says at 2:04 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    19kevin8: hit it, hit it? i’d hit anything that moves…

  54. RabidHamster says at 2:07 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Guppy06: I thought she gained her importance by swallowing an important thinner girl… Okay, that wasn’t sexual transcendence. I’m sorry, Meghie!

  55. 19kevin8 says at 2:07 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    inedalo: I draw the line at land whales. Meg’s more of a grouper.

  56. Hart88 says at 2:08 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Boy, wait until she finds out that Benen was able to bring six hobos to the WH Correspondents’ Dinner without tickets.

  57. Megan. Dick. Meaningless. Pot. Kettle. Black.

  58. Takoma with a " says at 2:19 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Is it me, or is her wall paper full of cross-eyed cartoonized version of young meg?

    We shouldn’t make too much fun of her, DON’T YOU KNOW WHO SHE IS!

  59. Tommmcatt says at 2:42 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Come here a minute:

    Oh, Christ, EXACTLY, thank you.

    Megan, whether or not you are a man or a woman, it helps to have ACTUALLY FUCKING DONE SOMETHING OTHER THAN RIDE AROUND ON VARIOUS COATTAILS if you want people to care what you have to say. Additionally, the general form of address to the public is the essay, the article, or the book, not the twitter feed. The twitter feed is for bragging about how wasted you are or for oblique references to illegal drugs.

    GAH SHE MAKES ME STABBY!!!!!111!!!

  60. Carrie_Okie says at 2:50 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Mavericky.

  61. zenferret says at 2:51 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Bypartizoa: Gawd I hope not! No fun if they get along.

  62. WadISay says at 2:52 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    I guarantee you if one of my brothers were doing what I am doing right now the Washington Monthly would think it had meaning.

    If her brothers are menstrating, I’d like to be the first to know.

  63. Mahousu says at 2:53 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Oh, look, Steve Benen has now apologized to Meghan. So no, she’s not as important as Dick Cheney - she’s as important as Rush Limbaugh!!

    You’re next, Jim. Apologize now, and no one gets hurt.

  64. Tommmcatt says at 2:56 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    WadISay:

    Oooh, a menstruation joke. “Fools walk in where angels fear to tread”, my friend….

  65. Hooray For Anything says at 2:58 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Mahousu: Meghan McCain 1/Washington Monthly 0. As a Wonkette commenter, I shudder in fear of what she could do to Wonkette if she ever takes it upon herself to tweet about us.

  66. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 3:04 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Boy, that girl is needy! I bet she likes to give head. And by “likes” I mean “does it often and compulsively out of a voracious need to fill in the aching hole where Daddy’s approval should have been.”

  67. chascates says at 3:04 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Take it easy, Meghan. In 10 years you’re going to be on the cover of People magazine with the headline “How I lost 63 Pounds!” and you don’t want to spoil your brand by aiming too high.

    Try finding a nice charity you can whore.

  68. Phil McCrackin says at 3:11 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    I’d hit it in the mouth

  69. WadISay says at 3:11 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Tommmcatt: This is true. I did not mean to imply that there’s anything wrong with menstration at all.

  70. 19kevin8 says at 3:34 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Phil McCrackin: Indeed! I’d fill her crack in, also.

  71. imissopus says at 3:45 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Mahousu: Benen’s reply came off as him very politely telling Megs to find an enormous bag of dicks and eat them. And lay off the extra butter.

    Okay, he didn’t imply that last part, I just can’t seem to get enough of Meghan McCain weight jokes today.

  72. prototype says at 3:52 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Why does she repeat the same thing over and over again….

  73. Jukesgrrl says at 4:17 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Terry: “If she didn’t have a rich momma and a famous daddy, she’d be hoping and praying to land a job down at the mall.” No, if she didn’t have her current assets, she would just go on a diet and then she could pull in a nice cushy salary from a lobbying firm, for having “drinks” with people such as … um, John McCain?

  74. Crow T. Robot says at 4:25 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Leave Meghan alone! She’s been on Colbert!

  75. Jukesgrrl says at 4:25 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Tommmcatt: “Additionally, the general form of address to the public is the essay, the article, or the book, not the twitter feed.” She already got PAID for the book. For God’s sake, now you expect her to WRITE it?!?

  76. azw88 says at 4:27 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    She’s a McCain all right…. got mommy’s evil glare:http://blogs.westword.com/catspjs/cindy_mccain_recipes.jpg

    At this rate she will never get Dick Cheney to fuck her with that monster.

  80. Youstonedorjuststupid? says at 6:11 pm, June 2nd, 2009

  81. daisy chain says at 6:26 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    God Damn It you useless rich fail-cow, at least have the decency to use proper grammar.

  82. yellowdogdem says at 6:30 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    WadISay: At least learn how to spell it. It’s “menstruating.”

  83. pat robertsons personal trainer says at 7:11 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Come here a minute: she’s also right if when she twatted “doing what I’m doing” she meant “boning bald, fat, white married mid-50s republican politicians and lobbyists.” wait, a married republican man screwing a young dude? i guess that’s not news either. carry on, nothing to see here.

  84. Vermonster says at 10:07 pm, June 2nd, 2009

    Oh Megs! You put the V in vapid and other V words! Like vengeful, and vagina. Also.

  85. aeiou says at 9:17 am, June 4th, 2009

    Why is the caricature of Megs cross-eyed?
