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. [

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.
