JOHN MCCAIN'S DAUGHTER

The Meghan McCain Warholboobstwitter-gate Apologia

Friday, October 16th, 2009

It’s here it’s here it’s here! We have not slept since Meghan McCain first promised the promised Daily Beast column in which she would refuse to apologize for her boobs’ preference for pop art. This was the biggest scandal in D.C. politics, just yesterday. “And I hadn’t even exposed a nipple,” she whines emptily and cynically. This whole thing is just such an excruciating exercise in bad faith, in which ole Meg asserts ad nauseum that she, like all American women and daughters everywhere, has boobs, so if y’all aren’t ready to deal with that then you should get ready, alright?

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

The anonymous Internet users of Twitter all responded with a rare “sexual” tone, in their anonymous comments, to the art photo Meghan McCain posted last night of two monstrous boobs reading an Andy Warhol biography together. Meghan was terrified! Had these folks already forgotten the tenets of the Lanny Davis Civility Pledge they were required to take a few weeks ago? At least the ABC News White House correspondent hadn’t. MORE »

The Concept Of “Meghan McCain” Reaches Its Natural And Necessary Conclusion

Thursday, October 15th, 2009


Well! Now you have gone and done it! Meghan McCain is so furious about the lack of positive attention she received upon posting a photo of her boobs wearing a tank top that she is THISCLOSE to committing the unthinkable: not posting photos of herself online. Ha, no no, just kidding, obviously not that. …she is THISCLOSE to committing the unthinkable: leaving Twitter. MORE »

The NRCC’s Hilarious Twitter Was CENSORED, Because What Is This, Nazi Germany?

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Yesterday the National Republican Congressional Committee thought that the most productive thing to do that afternoon would be to compare Nancy Pelosi to Hitler, on Twitter. A savvy web intern found some video of Adolf Hitler planning to kill Jews, only he’s speaking in German (!), so what would be great would be if we could just throw up some subtitles that suggest that the kind of genocide Hitler thinks is even cooler is the kind when Barack Obama just FOR NO REASON decides to shut down America’s hospitals. Which by the way are in Berlin, according to the Democrat/Nazi’s map. In any event, like nearly everything else that happens on Twitter, it was later forcibly removed. [CNN Political Ticker]

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Uh oh, our beloved friend Chuck Grassley snuck into the Twitter machine again, and would you look at this! And don’t give us that “Oh you can only use 140 characters on dumb fucking Twitter” rigmarole. The man simply does not know how to spell “school” and simply does not care for the learning of said spelling. [Chuck Grassley's Twitter via operative "Tim H."]

Douchey No-Name Bush Speechwriter Writes Douchey Racist Thing On Twitter

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Will someone throw some work at George W. Bush’s gang of ex-speechwriters? Recall “Matt Latimer,” an actual alien who wrote an essay for GQ magazine after stumbling across an encyclopedia of all known cliches that he found lodged under some forgotten moon rock on Mars. This latest one, “Josh Trevino,” is not as bad—because he’s not A. Matt Latimer or B. Hitler or his outer space equivalent, Space Hitler—but he’s a pretty horrific man. The evidence is two-fold: 1. This Josh Trevino co-founded pay-as-you go pornography search engine RedState.com. 2a. This is arguably not the most offensive thing Trevino has ever done. MORE »

YOUR MOVE KANYE

Barack Obama’s Secret Terrible Insult For Kanye West Revealed By Rogue Tweet!

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

NEXT STEP: THE DANCE FLOORApparent MTV employee Barack Obama called human simulacrum Kanye West a “jackass.” This is in response to Kanye yelling something in bad taste to Faith Hill at the Country Music Awards, which has been plaguing our President, this altercation between two Hollywood movie stars about something, a shared boyfriend maybe. Anyway, this latest declaration from Obama is “causing quite a stir on Twitter,” as all known events have been wont to do lately, because it was apparently given off the record to CNBC. But CNBC and ABC got their scoops crossed, and ABC’s Terry Moran Twittered the “jackass” comment, which was bad form because how dare journalist Terry Moran report this exclusive information. The Tweet has since been sent back to Hell. [Michael Calderone]
