Histrionic personality disorder heiress Meghan McCain joined Bill Maher and Friends on the Bill Maher comedy program last night. First Daughter, First Love remains mercifully unghostwritten as of yet, so why is beautiful young Meg McCabe such a commanding presence on America’s teevee programs and digital news traditions as of late? Verily, a mystery! The Bill Maher comedy show doesn’t know either, as evidenced by the producers’ exquisitely accurate description of our gal’s qualifications, pictured above. Dumb Matt Yglesias must be “in” with the HBO web interns!
So your Meg appears towards the end of the panel. Ahh she is so nervous, she says, because she gets to hang out with “all these world-renowned people”, referring to famed humans Joel Stein, Kitty Kay, and for-hire Chris Kattan impersonator Paul Begala. But it turns out that actually Joel Stein’s wife just had a baby, so naturally he has begun sleeping with Meghan, on Twitter.
So off we go, talking about, what else, that time David Letterman offered a million dollars to the first member of the Yankees baseball team to take the virginities of all the as-yet-undeflowered Palins but only if done in reverse alphabetic order. As it turns out, Meghan was just named the Harvey C. Mansfield Professor of First Daughters and First Loves at the Kennedy School of Government—and is also, as she points out every other clause, “a daughter”—so she is eminently qualified to talk about the nature of comedy writing.
Anyway, then for basically no reason M.M. starts going off about America’s Madonna/Whore complex. Par exemple, when she announced, for again basically no reason, that she wasn’t a virgin, the homogeneous cohesive entity of Politics was all like, “WTF. Uh, skank.” (Visual NB: camera pans to groundbreaking Twitter pornographer Joel Stein at this exact moment.) Bill Maher has perfected the art of vocalizing the linguistic equivalents of putting his hand on Meghan’s knee under the table.
Oh and then at one point, Meghan and Chris Kattan start arguing whether the French Revolution happened before Meghan was born, which, as Joel Stein will have you know, is totally before June 20, 1991, at least. “Well you just know everything!” Meg McCabe yells at Kattan, meaninglessly.
It pretty much goes without saying, but this entire episode is worth watching, if only to catch Joel Stein at the end defending the media’s coverage of the Euna Lee and Laura Ling incident by noting, “We love Asian women in this country! We love them in our pornography.” Jesus, why isn’t Meg just enough for you, Joel? Was she ever? And will she ever be?
[Clips of last night's Bill Maher comedy program]
first??? how can that be? it’s already 12:19pm, flyover-daylight-saving-time. anyway, I think you meant “as-yet-UNdeflowered” Palin girls.
Wow, good call on the “for no reason at all” thing where Meghan mentions out of the blue she’s had sex. Seems like she’s insecure and the type of person who mentions he’s/she’s had sex everywhere after they just first got laid. Notice none of the Palin girls do that.
That was a thing of real hilarity last night. And I loved Meghan McCain’s “I don’t wanna look backwards, I wanna look forwards” non-response to Maher’s probing about how her daddy felt after being run over by the Bush/Rover personal smear steamroller in South Carolina.
Begala’s French Revolution puppysmack was also splendid. And Kudos to Stein for being brave enough to put a tie on, even though he obviously has never worn such a piece of apparel in his life, ever.
And congrats to Juli on her first post as editrix.
What the? A Saturday post on Wonkette? Yippee!
Didn’t Meg lose her virginity to Barry B.? Pre-steroids, of course!
Man the McCains just don’t get it about throwing brutally ill-informed unprepared women out there to convince Republican ideology. Hope Johnny Mac doesn’t watch this, it’d give him PTSD about his most traumatic experience, the election.
What sort of Russian porn aggregator is this link trying to put on my computer?
You know Joel Stein wants a piece of that 24-year-old ass, virginal or not.
Who is Meghan McCain?
ummm, huh? GOP wimmin and relevance? Nah, don’t do that ona Sat… wake me when there’s morelikeit make-sexy-time this is reeeelly relevant stuff. Until then Meg McCan’t can eatta bagga dicks.
My favorite part was when she claimed to know all of these closet case Republicans in Hollywood who were terrified of losing their careers. I mean, look as what HUAC did to Speidi.
cindy and john should be fined for producing that.
Oh my. For a minute there I thought she was going to cry, when she got that whiny edge to her voice about how all these mean people were giving her shit about talking to the big bad liberals. And no one wants to see that, especially given the truly prodigious amount black eyeliner she was wearing.
Do yourself a favor, Meggie. Stay off the teevee until you at least sound like you’ve matured past high school.
After the show, she was helped aboard her private sled and hauled away at a steady run by eight bare-chested SEALS from her mother’s stable of studs.
Juli! Juli! You’ve returned to us! So much for a ‘paycheck’ and ‘benefits,’ huh?
I enjoyed Meghan’s response concerning the worldwide attention giving to the Commander-in-Chief’s ‘no fly’ incident. As she noted, there are more important things going on now.
Hate to say it but she’s kind of endearing. If Micheal Steele had any brains he’d put her to use. In other words Dems have nothing to worry about.
Boy, I thought having the Palins as the “second family” out there trashing the Naval Observatory was going to be the worst thing that could have happened. Turns out the First Family would have actually been worse than that. Dad an out-of-touch Navy veteran; Mom a pill-popping heiress and this as First Daughter. Thank God the American public stayed focused and gave us those delightful Huxtables.
One day, she’ll do something significant and we’ll all be very much surprised.
Juli, that’s not a mistake on the guest list. The BBC commentator’s name really is Katty Kay, not Kitty, as you understandably typed. You know those English, they can never let go of their public-even-though-it’s-private school ways.
smellyal8r: GAH! true, dat.
Yes, but did Meghan McCain loose her virginity to A-Rod? If not, I don’t see how she has any bona fides to discuss the brothel that is the House of Palin.
I do agree that the democrats are the new republicans. Oh, I’m not a virgin. And the current republicans are just a bunch of crazies.
sex. also.
SayItWithWookies: “Begala’s French Revolution puppysmack was also splendid.”
I was drunk but still found that HI-LARIOUS. Then I notice she got all pouty & shut her mouth! I don’t know who’s reputation is built on a higher house of cards, hers or Snowbilly.
Now that Juli’s back, I’m not gay anymore.
This settles the debate about whether or not Meg McCain thinks that having sex with barnyard animals and produce counts as having sex.
Juli, since you are back, can you please use some of your Columbia connections to research Meghan’s years there. I’m certain there are some stories worthy of coming out from her college years. Not sure they have to do with her recent deflowering as noted here OReillysVibrator
dennymcden: Congratulations on your ability to switch hit.
chascates: It is good to see Juli back after she was gone for FIVE AND A HALF WEEKS, CHASCATES, FIVE AND A HALF WEEKS!
Wasn’t Katty Kay blocked on the internet in China last week along with Garfield and Hello Kitty?
Is it true that Katty Kay was filling in for Meowsy McDermitt, who had a bad case of hairballs.
TGY: Only for interns. This IS a DC Gossip/War Blog, is it not?
Meghan McCain got hosed by Paul Begala (WTF?!?!) about recent events so she knows what it was like to crash and burn a navy bomber. Only 4 more to go to equal daddy’s score.
I would also concede that I usually find Meg endearing (or perhaps that’s the phallus talking), but last night was one big cringe. While pouting after the puppysmack, she exiled herself to the far corner & refused to smile during New Rules. They then punished her by not giving her a single close-up shot during the credits, even though that’s customary & everybody else got more than one.
Awkward, but I wonder if Maher hit it?
Also. Has anybody ever seen the youtoobz where Erik Estrada and Maher are on Win, Lose or Draw & Ponce celebrates & elbows him in the face, breaking his nose? I’ve seen it but can’t find it anywhere now.
Thanks to whichever SEO dork answered my prayers:

3:02 or thereabouts
Meghan McCain is a living, breathing, bobblehead…but, I’d still hit that.
Thanks to this great review I will sit down & watch Mr. Smarmy’s Marihuana Comedie Revue. While Megh and her freshman 20 are reasonably attractive, I’d much rather fap to Naomi Klein. Her smile can light up whole metropolises. And I’m pretty sure she’s had sex already, too. Just not with me. That you know of.
Like father, Like daughter.
Chris Matthews has been talking all week about Senator McCain hitting the idiot button, regarding the Iran situation. In honor of Fathers day, I guess Meghan wanted to hit that button about every other issue on the planet..
I laughed so hard at the 1st showing I had to watch again to catch the parts I missed. Still have to watch again. “I wasn’t alive during the French Revolution but I still know about it.” ROFLMAO. She’s the reason we have Blond jokes. yeah,,,I’d hit that, providing she doesn’t speak.
Q: how can i watch this Maher Megan clip without installing some creature called Zango?
i don’t want any Zango on my data-machine. can someone please tell me how to watch
the marvelous Maher show using some other internetto access animal?
thanks much!
you can email me at inedal@yahoo.com
Intern Juli, you came back to us! We promise, we’ll be better than we were last time! No more drinkin’ and whorin’! Honest!
I really wish John Waters would do a movie featuring Meghan: she’s just too perfect. Well, actually, she’d suck at it like everything else, but the Palins are booked
inedalo: Isn’t Zango some kind of evil malware/adware/spyware that wants to put software on your machine to report back to headquarters on your web surfing habits?
Well I think Megan is really very brave to keep putting herself out there on the public airwaves and demonstrating what a total airhead she is.
McCain should not be a voice for moderate Republicans. Related post at http://iamsoannoyed.com/?p=1896
what a joke she is–meg mccain, go away, or at least let the grownups talk. If something occurs before you are born, try picking up a book and educating that pea-sized brain of yours, rather than peddling little blondie excuses to do yourself credit. in her defense, she did have some not-worthless ideas about her overly-puritanical, abstinence-preaching party. but i doubt they will listen to her any more than progressives would to her lizard-like mom’s ultra-vapid statements on the trail, eg. …”when i heard obama mention terrorists i got a cold chill through my body…” etc. meg m is a bimbette with hardly enough brain cells to comprehend maher’s nuanced points. as for her not smiling during new rules, it was mostly over her head and she was confused, but she was def pouting. also, nice try playing the “i’m the only repub here and i’m blond, dont gang up on me” card. get lost
ps. i’m not a virgin
