America’s conscience, the Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen, has discovered a bright new light on his teevee screen! Let’s see, is there some vapid, invented political-media personality from 2008 that might impress this confused oldster as he navigates the complexities of a post-9/11 cable remote? Does she have literally nothing to do with politics and zero standing in the party she claims to be tangentially connected to? This is a … a … YOUTH TREND!
Can it be that the conscience of the Republican Party resides in a 26-year-old woman who has never held elective office and derives her authority, not to mention name recognition, for the fame of her father? I am referring to Meghan McCain, daughter of the once-forthright John, who said of Christine O’Donnell, the erstwhile witch and current Republican senatorial candidate from Delaware, that she is a “nut job.”
Oh you mean like Karl Rove said on Fox News the night O’Donnell won her primary? Yeah, good to see the WaPo copy desk apparently caught that so your lede could immediately be argued out of existence by this hyphenated addendum to the very next sentence:
This searing evocation of the truth, this refreshing statement of an obvious fact, has not come from any other Republican of note — although Karl Rove attempted something similar ….
Idiot. [Washington Post]

Perverted sexual harrasser is perverted.
Dick Cohen likes to hear women use the phrase "nut job". He demands it before paying.
It is an odd use of the phrase considering he applied it to Mz. Celibate, who presumably never gets "a nut"….
No one at the Post needs factchecking or copyediting- IT is the Washington Post and this was written by Richard Cohen. Would you suggest fact checking the Bible???
If it will help us get out of this goddamn mess.
Richard Cohen NEEDS NO PEER REVIEW!
He got his hair done special for that picture, didn't he.
It was his headshot for the Wolf Blitzer look-alike contest.
Never figured the paper that broke Watergate would become The Journal of Early Onset Alzheimer's…
And to think, the Post thinks that it can find someone that can write as well as Cohen randomly on the Internet.
Oh come on — it's not like anyone's going to ask whether a pathological hydrocephalic lying megalomaniac Texan is the conscience of the Republican Party — because the answer might compromise someone's journalistic integrity. Better to assign that role to a dopey narcissist with no conception of reality, just for fairness.
When the Post has a contest called "you too can be a pundit", you know darn well that whom they're really looking for is the next Paul Harvey.
Wasn't his guest voted by her high school class to be the "Girl Most Likely to Be Found Unconscious in a Marine Barracks?"
No, that was her mother.
If Wolf Blitzer didn't have a bad ass name like "Wolf Blitzer" he would look just like that pussy with the really pussy name of "Dick Cohen"…
Meghan is lucky she doesn't work at the Post, considering how Richard likes to treat young women he's attracted to there.
Sounds like Richard Cohen was enjoying his Sunday morn Metamucil Bloody Mary while watching ABC's This Weak where Meggers was chillin' with her homies – George Will and the Roundtable croners .
Is there any more wonderful way to spend Sunday morning than watching the journo circle-jerks on the MSM?
Still, it's kind of nice to see anyone at the WP dip their toe in the water of objective reality, even if it's as obliquely as this. If tomorrow's WP headline reads, GOP Taken Over by Barking Lunatics; Thousands Flee for Lives, I would actually be semi-impressed.
Richard Cohen probably doesn’t have very good eyesight, it might be fun to put a blond wig on a roofie inhibited Karl Rove and drop him off on Cohen’s doorstep.
He wouldn't be fooled. Meg's tits aren't that big.
What's his stance on Liz Cheney?
Bet it's even wider for Larry Craig
This is why I get all my news from Wonkette. Every time I see something in WashPost, I saw it weeks or months or years earlier in Wonkette.
But, does he call out, 'Cindy' when he. . .NO, I will not complete that, because I took a last look at his photo to justify my contempt for him, and knew it was a comment too far.
Whoa, you looking to get Joe Miller's bodyguards on his case?
oooooh that's so mavericky of her to say! i assume she'll drill deeper and examine the roots of the political climate that allowed nutjob candidates like o'donnell, angle, and paul to win their primaries. who really got the ball rolling when it comes to the current state of the gop… oh yeah, it was her dad and his mavericky decision to pick sarah palin as his running mate two years ago.
numbnuts.
has he heard about twitter yet?
Nepotism? In my GOP?
It's more likely than you think!
the conscience of the Republican Party resides in a 26-year-old woman
Meghan is a horcrux!
Well, you got one syllable right….
Is there anybody in America who hasn't called Christine O'Donnell a "nut job"? Karl Rove said it on the teevee, while the rest of us — Papa McCain included — just said it at the dang teevee.
Right. The headline should have been "Republican Tells the Truth!"
Give the guy credit for noticing the rarity of a Repubican bootstrapping off their father's or mother's fame. No self-respecting Repubican would do such a thing. Only Meghan McCain, right?
There's Chris Wallace. But he's only a Fox reporter. Well, Liz Cheney too. I guess you'd have to include Rand Paul. Ben Quayle. Lisa Murkowski. Trig Palin (eventually).
And Dubya Bush.
But does he see stars dancing around her head when he watches her on TV?
Megs McCabe, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Megs-Mc-Cabe: the mush of the mouth taking a trip of three mashes on the lips to mush, at Megs, on the gums. Megs. Mc. Cabe.
"…conscience of the Republican Party…"
Now we can talk Hitler! Okay, okay, not even then.
I saw Meggie on the news this morning, I forget which channel. SHE WAS ARTICULATE AND WELL-INFORMED. Really.
Now we just need the seventh sign and and whole mess is over.
with big tits
You know Megs could be a pundit. And I know I would watch regularly if she did her punditry topless. Otherwise she should like every other Art History major, make my latte and shut up.
He should be confined to twitter twats–140 characters per column is all he gets. Should improve things immediately.
Megs as the conscience of the Repugnant party. It wouldn't surprise me – she IS focused on her own un-earned wealth, overflated sense of self and tits.
Whenever I see a pic of Dickie Cohen, I'm reminded of a ditty that was considered the height of wit and sophistication when I was in the 5th grade:
Colonel Sanders came to town,
Riding on a chicken,
Stuck his finger up his ass,
And called it finger lickin'.
Of course, it now needs updating. But I just can't fit the rhyme scheme or meter with,
Stuck his finger up his ass,
And called it a column in the Washington Post.
Today we are all dumb old men wanking to John McCain's daughter
Richard, at some point, preferably yesterday, you must learn to be attracted to middle-aged women.
I think you are misunderstanding the circle jerk concept. To further explain it will evoke images I can never unsee and I'm fresh out of brain bleach this week.
