printMeghan McCain opened up her mouth to say nothing. There is nothing new about that. But media are aflutter—a sad fact that simply enforces what you already know about the state of American public life.
“Well, I speak as a 26-year-old woman and my problem is that, no matter what, Christine O’Donnell is making a mockery of running for public office,” McCain told anchor Christiane Amanpour. “She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business.”
McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said that the message, “that sends to my generation is: one day you can just wake and run for Senate, no matter how [much of] a lack of experience you have. And it scares for me for a lot of reasons.”
Note Meghan’s constant allusions to her tender age. In another universe youth would be a reason to shut up. In the country in which kids are imbued with mythical qualities (Rousseau’s Noble Savage applied to small savages), the words of the greatest ditz to date to emerge from that big tent that Republicans keep touting carry as much heft as said heifer carries on her person.
Meghan is like a dripping tap. If you’ve read the first few lines of any of her blog posts, you’ve read all two diarrheic pages of it. Buzzwords peppered with clichés, and prefaced with “I feel like,” convey Meghan’s mushy, thinking-averse, pop-politics: “I feel like we need to be reaching out to moderates and young people. I feel like we need to be reaching out to minorities.”
The creature gets away with calling herself a writer because America has facilitated her delusions of grandeur. Meghan has “written” for Newsweek, no less, and now adds to the political bestiality on The Daily Beast. Both publications accept Ms. McCain’s version of a premise and a conclusion. For example: “I, like, disagree with that completely, and think that’s, like, completely crazy.”
As hopeless, Republicans have failed to make the only valid case against Meghan, and that is that she is really really stupid. But how can they, when making the case for the GOP are members of the same, hubristic Millennial generation? If smart adults were in charge, they would refuse to address anything Meghan disgorges from her puffy, painted face.
Idiots have come into their own in a big way, courtesy of depraved consumers, and complicit TV producers and publishers, of pixel and paper alike. The duller you are and the louder you crow in contemporary America, the better you do. Meghan McCain is not working with much—and is eminently qualified to dim debate in the Age of the Idiot.
As for “Christine O’Donnell, the Republican candidate for Senate in Delaware,” I don’t know a lot about her, except that in the snippets I’ve caught from her debates, she has acquitted herself quite well.
Meghan’s cretinism and cringe factor far outweigh those of poor Christine’s, who seems sweet enough.
Like, well, um, what history of success has Ms. McCain? She hasn’t started and run any business that I know of. Does she really believe that her writing jobs have come to her on _merit_? Her writing is sheer cr**. Only by being the daughter of a highly-placed Senator does she get any writing assignments at all, I suspect.
Speaking of hubris, the young McCain has been quoted thus: “No one knows what war is like other than my family, period.” http://www.mfso.org/article.php?id=1238
Thanks for that, Miss! I’m certain it must be highly illuminating to the “peasantry” your father consistently votes to send into harm’s way.
Meghan McCain is an idiot. I read her comments about Christine O’Donnell yesterday. I was looking forward to you writing about this. You are right about tv producers and publishers. They look for the dumbest, loudest and most irrelevant people to put on air or publish. By the way, I saw a clip of Levi Johnston being interviewed on The View about his candidacy for mayor of Wasilla, AK. This will be part of a reality show. I kid you not. He says he has no platform. I would think passing out free condoms would be at the top of his list. That is a perfect example of what you are writing about here. Don’t be surprised if MSNBC covers his campaign. I like, can’t believe it.
“one day you can just wake and (run for Senate,)BE A COLUMNIST, no matter how [much of] a lack of experience you have. And it scares for me for a lot of reasons.” YEP I’m scared!
I’ve noticed the MSM has been taking their little hatchets to Ms. O’Donnell and misquoting her a lot, this piece of trash, can’t add much to experienced mudslingers.
The brilliant and accomplished Meghan McCain, inventor of penicillin, Nobel Laureate, philosopher-queen, with 371 refereed publications and 63 patents, creator of 5 innovative high-tech startup companies, serving on the boards of 9 different charities including leading efforts to assist flood victims in Honduras – yes THAT Meghan McCain – whose fame is due to her own Herculean efforts – she is the one who has come to the brilliant revelation that Christine O’ Donnell is a media-anointed dimwit Republican Bimbo.
As they say – “It takes one to know…”
[LOL.]
If Meghan McCain is so aware of her tender age why doesn’t she stay home and grow up before she attempts to talk to grown-ups. As far as Christine O’Donnell is concerned I will say this. She has had a few gaffes in her campaign to be sure. But, she is running against a massive machine with no help from anybody in the Republican party. In fact the Republican party is thwarting her rather than supporting.
I’m actually shocked she hasn’t gotten her own reality show yet. Well, maybe they’d already promised the spot to Snooki http://chuvachienes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/jersey-shore-snooki.jpg
