In what historians may call the Worst Blog Post Ever, Meghan McCain, the unemployed daughter of WALNUTS!, explains her Father’s Day gift: she finally freaking registered Republican! It’s so important, this non-gift, that she includes many pictures of her filling out forms at some state bureaucracy outpost in Arizona. Cindy’s there, too, watching her daughter get all growed up.

Meghan “Blogette” McCain, the princess daughter of John McCain and his second trophy wife Cindy, has sewn up a children’s book deal. It sounds frightening, according to what she says in a publisher’s statement: “I am truly excited about the opportunity to write a children’s book about my father, who is not only a fantastic dad, but also a great American. This book will offer children the unique opportunity to see the character building events that happened over his lifetime, experiences that led up to his current bid to become the future President of the United States.” Hey children, this is called P-R-O-P-A-G-A-N-D-A. It means “she is finding a pleasing way to sell you terrible lies.” Also, children? She does not have a job, because she is spoiled! She is not your role model. [AP]

The April issue of GQ features a delightful profile of Meghan McCain, the 23-year-old daughter of WALNUTS! and famous Blogette. Somehow she procured full access to the McCain campaign, and has done a dutiful job reporting on the minutiae of life on the trail — namely, her favorite songs, what shoes she and her Blogette friends wear to town halls, and which McCain advisers are hot. The lady does not filter, she’s a liberal like her father, and she alternatively makes you hate and love your life. MORE »

I needed one sort of bright spot today, and this article sorta provided it. John McCain, who sold out to the religious right and brought on board the worst of Rove’s dirty tricks men, won’t sell out any of his seven kids. Unlike certain newbie Senators from Virginia who ran around the last election cycle talking about his son in Iraq, McCain shushes people who try to bring up his son during events and the only pic he shows reporters of his daughter Meghan is off his cell phone. When asked, he told reporters, “I wouldn’t want to seem like I’m trying to gain some kind of advantage. I just feel that it’s a private thing.” Goddamn if McCain the sellout doesn’t sorta seem like a stand-up dad, except that someone got the story written. Oh, shit, there’s the cynicism again.
