The Other McCain

Hey, Has Anybody Else Noticed That Meghan McCain Is Intensely Stupid?

Posted on | September 13, 2010 | 109 Comments

“It is impossible to read Dirty, Sexy Politics and come away with the impression that you have read anything other than the completely unedited ramblings of an idiot. . . . That a graduate of Columbia University, as Ms. McCain purports to be, produced writing this shoddy is bad; that a publishing company let this authorial abortion go to print is an insult to the collective self-worth of our thinking nation. . . . One would think hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on Ms. McCain’s education . . . would have somehow resulted in a basic understanding of the colon and semicolon, but alas — no such luck.”
— Leon Wolfe, “Meghan McCain’s Dirty, Sexy Politics“

UPDATE: I think “obligatory” is the proper word for this:

“So there we are in 2010 — young, pretty blonde women with huge cans are victimized by not being given enough attention on television. . . . If I’m going to hear a lot of stupid blather (and that’s going to happen most nights you’re watching cable news), I’d rather have some bazongas to look at while I gnaw the meat off my own fingers.”

    If the McCain parents ever write Meghan out of their will, she’d better marry some sugar daddy, ‘cuz she’s unemployable.

    Why don’t you read the book (or claim that you read it) and write your own review (however brief it is) to trash Meghan McCain instead of you quoting somebody? Her politics and ideas are not worth it! So lets just comment on her physical attributes (boobs et al) and writing style! Huh, ok.

    @waylay: Bristol does have a job (though I assume she’s taken leave while she’s on DWTS). And while her mother does not presently have a 9-to-5 job, I hear she does all right for herself freelancing at the moment.

    I’ve never claimed to admire her for her mind.

    And at some point, after you’ve read enough of her columns, you don’t need to read the full-length book to realize that she got the contract for it because (a) she’s John and Cindy’s daughter (b) she’s therefore somewhat photogenic and (c) she’s a moderate-to-liberal Republican, not so much because she’s a glowing reference for the educational prowess of Columbia University.

    waylay, I do not think unemployable means what you think it means.

    Bristol worked as an office manager at a dermatologist.

    Sarah was a 2-term town councilor, a 2-term mayor, an oil and gas commissioner, a governor, a small business owner …

    They’re both now professional speakers who advocate on behalf of several worthwhile causes.

    THIS is what you call unemployable?

    Is that you, Meghan? I had to ask because you share the same smarts …

    Sometimes you don’t need to read someone’s ghostwritten book or facebook notes to know someone is an airhead. Check out Sarah Palin’s Couric and Gibson interviews. And her current twitter feeds.

    Maybe i should have compared Meghan McCain’s profession (blogger, columnist, author) to that of Stacy McCain’s instead…

    She is not writing a pop book on her boobs or bfs, it is her memoir of her father’s 2008 campaign, moron.

    Your criticism about a parent’s role fits perfectly to Bristol Palin getting her speaking gigs and reality show gigs though.

    That’s the point, just because someone is not employed–or is self-employed–currently, doesn’t mean they are not “employable”. I reckon Meghan is more “productive” than your average christian conservative republican woman, many of them who are busy in breeding and child raising business in their 20s. You have exceptions though, like TOM reader Roxeanne de Luca who seems to be career oriented and still in search of a mate to settle with. But she does have a <a href="“>sad life(see comment #6).

    She doesn’t give Columbia grads a particularly

    You found Palin’s Couric interview? I was under the impression that CBS has never released the complete, unedited interview, only clips of the ‘gotcha’ moments that may or may not be in context. Where do I find the complete interview so I can check it out?
