Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!(Oct. 18) -- The Delaware Senate race just got a whole lot, well, racier. Almost one year to the date that Meghan McCain roiled the Internet by posting a picture of herself on her Twitter page that prominently displayed her ample bosom, the 25-year-old daughter of Sen. John McCain posted a message on the microblogging site that decidedly returned the attention of her 92,000 followers to that part of her body once more. .bbpBox27772593786 {background:url(http://a1.twimg.com/profile_background_images/128421426/133672276.jpg) #000000;padding:20px;} p.bbpTweet{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px ...
(Aug. 31) -- It's tough out there being a maverick's kid. At least that's the lesson Surge Desk takes away from Meghan McCain (yes, that's John's adult daughter), who today released a new book, "Dirty Sexy Politics," about her time on the 2008 presidential campaign trail. (Or, more specifically, the limited time she served on the trail before she was "asked to leave and not come back," not fired, as she clarified on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday.) McCain has distinguished herself from her father and other Republicans by speaking out in support of gay marriage and comprehensive ...
Meghan McCain told Michelle Malkin Tuesday that she would not "shut up" and that the Republican Party should be more inclusive of moderates like herself. The attack by McCain, the Republican daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), against conservative Malkin is the latest battle in this year's public war of the Republican women pundits. The latest name-calling started on Friday when, according to McCain, "Malkin was asked which conservative political figure or commentator needs to shut up. Guess who her answer was? Yeah, that's right -- yours truly." ...
New York Times blogger Judith Warner dug into Meghan McCain with gusto, posting a concern-trolling piece about Meg's appearance on the Colbert Report. She writes that she "feels sorry" for Meg:I really have no business feeling sympathy for a wealthy, pretty, well-connected recent Columbia grad who's already been given a political blog by Tina Brown, who's already been paid a reported high six figures to write on the future of the Republican party, and who, despite it all, was foolish enough to go on "The Colbert Report" on Monday night and call herself "a 24-year-old pro-sex woman."I suppose ...
As an avid fan of both Meghan McCain and Stephen Colbert (despite our rocky history), I tuned in to last night's Meg-augmented episode of the Colbert Report with bells on. Meghan looked great, and even managed to throw Stephen Colbert momentarily out of character, a first as far as I know, with her declaration that she is a pro-sex woman. I also have to give Meg props for resisting the enticing temptation to lick Colbert's face.This got me thinking, Colbert is famous for taking credit when politicians receive a bump from going on his show. So I wondered if Colbert would get a similar bump from ...
I'm still laughing at this, via Meghan McCain's Twitter feed:On top of that, it's an excellent question. As has been observed before, the public face of the Republican Party these days greatly resembles a Land of the Lost, ...
Meghan McCain is the subject of anonymous gossip reporting that makes it sound like she pulled a Joe Pesci on a security guard at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner Saturday night:The problem? She had only two tickets, but brought two friends. "The security guard sent her to talk to someone to sort out the situation, but Meghan got bratty and nastily told him, 'We'll just stand here then,' like an insolent child," our source said, adding that after dealing with the guard, "She muttered to her friends, 'Does he even know who the f--- I am?' " Before I break this down, I'd like to ...
Let's all set aside Meghan McCain's politics for a moment. As a liberal, I might agree with her on gay marriage and Ann Coulter, but where the rubber meets the road, we differ significantly. She's also the best chance the Republicans have of re-growing their party, a dose of political Menoxidil that they refuse to take. No, liking Meghan McCain is not about political opportunism.Meghan McCain has taken her fame, deserved or not, and done a lot of good with it, no more so than in combating the destructive standards of beauty and body that are foisted on women, especially young women. This is ...
Meghan McCain co-hosted "The View" today, and she followed up on her criticism of Karl Rove's Twitter life. She also criticized Rudy Giuliani's recent attack on gay marriage, and spoke with moral authority on the issue of torture:As a punctuation mark to her appearance, Meghan later tweeted a link to fellow Daily Beaster Reihan Salam's story on Cheney's recent verbal garbage-spew at the President.I like the way she sort of paints Rove as ...
On Monday, I wrote about Meghan McCain's critique of Karl Rove's Twitter feed, among others. To make a point about the right's deranged reaction to Meg, I linked to a particularly vicious rant by conservative blogger The College Politico. In the 12 paragraphs of his post, the guy calls her an imbecile, idiotic, clueless, and compares her to a 5 year-old.As far as I know, Karl Rove hasn't publicly responded to Meghan's Daily Beast column, but I have learned that he did read The College Politico's anti-Meg screed, and was pleased.Yes, Karl, it must be nice to have people willing to attack a ...
