I do get very tired of politicians and their families claiming to represent “the people” when their adult children have never worked a day in their lives.

Here’s what McCain’s 6 adult children do, in order, from oldest to youngest:
airline pilot and former naval aviator
executive with Hensley & co.
music industry executive
campaign worker
midshipman at Naval Academy
Marine

Thanks for posting that. And the McCain’s 7th child, Bridget, is not yet an adult. I find the story of her adoption very inspiring and quite revealing of the character of the McCain family.

-You’ve been with her, right?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I’ll be in my bunk.

Politicians kids really need to STFU and let their parents do the campaigning, on all sides.

can we at least introduce mentors into the campaign?

As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he “left the room to cry.” He said, “I realized…America was an evil… and that I was… living inside the belly of the beast….”

In January 1969, at the request of the Cubans and the Vietnamese, Dohrn assembled another SDS delegation to travel to Havana to plan what the Chicago Sun-Times called an “antiwar campaign during an eight-day seminar with representatives of Hanoi and the Viet Cong.”

Bambi’s got neat friends….

“what can I say?”

sven10077 on September 16, 2008 at 5:44 PM

I read that too. It really gave me the creeps that Ayres & Dohrn could have Vietnamese Communist rings made from part of McCain’s aircraft. I shivered at that. What did Obama call them? “Respectable?”

Loxodonta on September 16, 2008 at 5:57 PM

if the radical left thinks they are the only ones who will play hardball in the event of a loss….I won’t riot but I will make it my 4 year mission to destroy his administration if he wins.

I’m not sure you understand. We old folks refer to the Larry King Show as “grandpop culture.” Jiminy Cricket! Larry is the Cat’s Meow!

Loxodonta on September 16, 2008 at 6:16 PM

Are all of you guys that terrified of women?

reaganaut on September 16, 2008 at 4:31 PM

Afraid? Not at all. In fact, I love the Palin women: they’re easy AND they have money so they don’t run to welfare to support the little bastards babies!

Anyone biatching about Meghan needs to confront reality.

Chelsea Clinton works at a hedge fund (ironic) that has contributed very substantial amounts to her parent’s various cause. She was also able to travel to many campaign events and eve did her own tours, meeting with Super Delegates, etc. Most 28 year olds in finance are lucky if they get to take half days off on Sunday and leave the office before midnight any day of the week.

2 of John Kerry’s step-sons (Chris and Andre) took time off from their jobs to campaign for him full time, at the ages of 31 and 35. John’s daughters Vanessa and Alexandra (ages 28 and 31 at the time) also campaigned full time for him. Vanessa took a leave from med school to do campaign work.

Mitt’s sons did their own roadshow and had a blog about it as well.

Meghan is doing serious campaign work and is involved at a much higher level than most 23 year olds in politics. She’s been on the campaign full time for over a year, quite like many kids just out of college. I’m really shocked at the ignorance about the mechanics of campaigns and the idea that it’s not a real job.

This is her first job out of college and it’s one hell of a doozy. Traveling nearly every day is really hard, and she does lots of high risk interviews. But because she’s female, people are deriding her contribution. That’s utter crap, and those who diminish her contributions should consider exactly who owns this site and who one of the favorite columnists of this site is. But yeah women in the media and in politics have it sooo easy.

Wow, Meagan’s great. Now all the single posters here at HA have a new fantasy.

So does this guy. Right after he tears up his voter registration card.
And for the record, Sarah Palin ‘being up’ on pop culture should cost her credibility, not give it to her.

DanKenton on September 16, 2008 at 7:18 PM

Sarah Palin has money? Funny how that’s not common knowledge.

And “easy”? Now they’re sluts? You really need some better material. Isn’t there some place on DK or DU that has some more intelligent talking points?

drunkenmaster on September 17, 2008 at 6:38 AM

If Meghan McCain is addressing the “pop culture” youth, as some have claimed here in this thread, Why is she doing it on Larry King?

Same reason Snoop Dogg does, I guess. For whatever reason, King has cachet.
