Meghan McCain on Palin: “She’s really chill”

Meghan can do (almost) no wrong, a fact acknowledged even by a magazine as reliably lefty as Slate. Even so, Breitbart’s clearly mocking the goofiness of her response, which makes me wonder if we haven’t reached saturation point now with tales of the ‘Cuda’s extraordinary ordinariness. Hockey mom, five kids, hunts, good with pop culture — fantastic. It’s high time to transition to phase two: Operation Gravitas. Which I guess is what this little stop on the trail next week is all about. Click the image to watch.

All my homies and my playas say yeah!
BadgerHawk on September 16, 2008 at 4:04 PM
But she is chill, yo!
carbon_footprint on September 16, 2008 at 4:04 PM
She knows the demographic she wants to reach, and she is doing it.
Chudi on September 16, 2008 at 4:05 PM
She is chill and hawt simultaneously!
txsurveyor on September 16, 2008 at 4:07 PM
BINGO
Chill out, people. Megan knows what she is doing and she is doing it very, very well. She’s one classy young lady.
ManlyRash on September 16, 2008 at 4:07 PM
McCain should take her to Iraq as well – but on the quiet. There’s no need to make a big stunt out of it.
lodge on September 16, 2008 at 4:08 PM
She’s such a great front person for such an out-of-touch candidate.
an_abstraction on September 16, 2008 at 4:08 PM
Bwahahahahaha. Liberal a$$wipe.
AubieJon on September 16, 2008 at 4:10 PM
I didn’t know that John McCain dated a stripper. Thanks for sharing that, Meghan.
jim m on September 16, 2008 at 4:10 PM
No, I really mean it.
She’s cute, articulate, knows how to use the Internet…
an_abstraction on September 16, 2008 at 4:10 PM
One thing is for sure, Palin has given the Obama campaign a serious case of the chills.

She’s legal right? So I can call her a.. SDILF? Or even a POTUSDILF?
420sniper on September 16, 2008 at 4:12 PM
I don’t mean to throw cold water, but what I find interesting about Meghan McCain is that she is 24, single and apparently has all the time in the world to sit around and do nothing but find ways to get recognition and make money off of her name.
She is like the Paris Hilton of the 2008 campaign.
BigD on September 16, 2008 at 4:12 PM
Indeed Allah. Gravitas is needed.
Personally, if Palin is going to be the vice-president, I don’t care if she’s up-to-speed on pop-culture. What is happening on TMZ has absolutely no bearing on our national security or foreign policy.
Unless of course Paris Hilton plans on purchasing the nation of Zimbabwe…

You can call her Ms. McCain.

I see . . . and from where have you drawn such insight into candidate Palin?
Trot back over to the Daily KOS where you belong.
rplat on September 16, 2008 at 4:14 PM
Stay Classy
Hunt035 on September 16, 2008 at 4:15 PM
Not quite. Meghan is actually working hard on behalf of her father’s campaign – as opposed to Paris Hilton, who is whoring really hard in her father’s hotels.
ManlyRash on September 16, 2008 at 4:15 PM
She’s on the campaign trail with her father, documenting the experience.
I know plenty of young people who are doing a lot less.
capitalist piglet on September 16, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Too bad Obama’s campaign doesn’t have anyone to match her, right?
Oh, but there is Michelle! Where is she these days, anyway?
evenfarer on September 16, 2008 at 4:16 PM
an_ab,
You should probably get out of your mama’s basement and try to find a job, because posting on the internet all day isn’t going to pay for all those 1-900 phone calls.
AubieJon on September 16, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Palin: Awesome to the Max!
Tzetzes on September 16, 2008 at 4:16 PM
She’s a cold hearted mofo who wouldn’t think twice about puttin’ a cap in yo ass.
lorien1973 on September 16, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Oh yeah…..I’d definitely hit that.
……..no not Larry……
FiveWays on September 16, 2008 at 4:17 PM
Not as bad as the excerpt sounded.
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on September 16, 2008 at 4:18 PM
She’s cute
vcferlita on September 16, 2008 at 4:19 PM
I don’t think she’s trying to make money off her name (how anyway?). I’m sure she gets a nice enough allowance. But it’s not unusual for candidates kids, especially in their 30’s and under, to pretty much join the campaign fulltime
BuzzCrutcher on September 16, 2008 at 4:20 PM
My point was, she’s 24, single and doesn’t have a real job? She doesn’t have any other responsibilities? She can just campaign all the time?
BigD on September 16, 2008 at 4:20 PM
I love the Palin and McCain families. Michelle Obama grates on me.
D0WNT0WN on September 16, 2008 at 4:20 PM
She’s chill?
In 5 years, we will look back and that will sound like:
She’s groovy.
She’s far out, man.
She’s outta sight!!
Whatever, bimbo. Here is a hint, most of us are only voting for your daddy because Obama sucks even more. We all know in our heart of hearts that the “chill” Sarah Palin is not ready to be POTUS. But, still, better than Obama. Soooooooo, shut the hell up.
thanks!!!
Roger Waters on September 16, 2008 at 4:21 PM
See the post that appears before yours. If you are that consumed with curiousity then use teh Google. You can fnd it on teh Internets.
ManlyRash on September 16, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Word. Palin keeps it locked down on the realz, yo.
CP on September 16, 2008 at 4:23 PM
She wrote a book and is promoting that along the way as well. But right now, campaigning is pretty much what she does.
lorien1973 on September 16, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Except Meghan can read and write.
Jim Treacher on September 16, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Dude (or Dudette), that’s pretty brutal.
I admit that her commentary does absolutely nothing for me, but I know that I am not the audience she’s addressing.
LimeyGeek on September 16, 2008 at 4:24 PM
On what basis do you judge Ms. McCain to be a bimbo?
What makes Sarah Palin any less ready for the vice-presidency than Obama is for the presidency?
Does her executive experience count for anything in your analysis?
ManlyRash on September 16, 2008 at 4:25 PM
Yeah, she’s chill indeed. She even told Meghan her family secret on how to snag a redneck: don’t actually swallow the birth control pills.
DanKenton on September 16, 2008 at 4:26 PM
Well, we don’t really know that, I guess. But if she can, so what?
capitalist piglet on September 16, 2008 at 4:26 PM
She attended Columbia University and is pursuing fashion design. She just finished writing a book about her father and has interned at Newsweek and NBC.
amerpundit on September 16, 2008 at 4:26 PM
BigD – stop trolling dude.
Be more chill.
an_abstraction on September 16, 2008 at 4:28 PM
How is she a bimbo and why do you figure that most are voting for McCain only because Obama sucks more? You don’t win a primary only because a yet-undecided nominee of another party will eventually be worse.

Wow! The wacko environmentalist/community organizer training course at the community college let out early today. Look at all the classy trolls with nothing but bitterness to spew. What a load of losers.
AubieJon on September 16, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Perhaps….that, and Palin lights up our lobes.
After seeing McCain of F&F this morning yabbering moronically about the economy, corruption, fat cat execs etc…..I was reminded exactly why I didn’t want to see him in the White House, and how phenomenally fortunate he is to have Palin supporting him.
I’m voting for Palin. Period. Fuck McCain.

Wow, the trolls are out in force here.
More impotent guys who seem reactive very negatively to women. Are all of you guys that terrified of women?
reaganaut on September 16, 2008 at 4:31 PM
Okay, well that is example #1 of making money off of her name. The book is about her and her dad.
Meghan McCain is a trust fund baby. She think Palin’s understanding pop culture is the important thing in this campaign. Her claim to fame is her parent’s name.
As I said, she is the Paris Hilton of the 2008 campaign. How long before we see her in a commercial?
BigD on September 16, 2008 at 4:31 PM
What an astute observation about a gal whose mom is worth $100M.

Sure, Meghan is just a trust fund baby. If you can find comfort in your small life by finding refuge in that, you ought to go with it.

Why’d you pick a handle so easy to mock, BigDouche?

sven10077 on September 16, 2008 at 4:43 PM
You know, as a lifelong Republican and faithful servant of Reagan, I must admit that I’m a little dismayed that Palin hasn’t been a community organizer and that she loves her country.
I think we should all vote Obama just to show our own GOP politicians that we don’t trust them anymore.
How did I do? Convincing?

Jim Treacher on September 16, 2008 at 4:51 PM
We need to hone reverse astro-turf fu….
As a lifelong democrat I was all excited to vote for Barack Obama when it dawned on me that Joe Biden’s son is in no small part the very lobbysit class our Messiah has been decrying. Aside from the potential conflict of interest of a Vice-President’s son lobbying a Presidential candidate it makes me wonder just who got the most lobbying money from these failing banks. I have made it a personal policy to vote for the party that screws the little guy the least and in this case, sadly it looks like John McCain.
sincerely,
Moonbeam

Aren’t two of his sons in the military? He has several other children and I don’t see any of them hanging around on the campaign trail.
And isn’t going to college and interning and actually writing a book work? So what if it’s about her Dad, that’s probably a big part of her life experience and she’s free to write a book if she wants to. It’s not like she’s writing on how to be an airhead heiress!

Perhaps it’s time to get over your obsessive mancrush on Mitt “Robot” Romney and the resulting heartache over the fact that he (wisely) wasn’t picked for the VP slot.

sven10077 on September 16, 2008 at 4:55 PM
BigD, it’s none of my business, but I think you could use some Metamucil.
She works for her father’s campaign, and she does a damn good job with her blog and her little film crew. She’s going after the youngster vote, as others here have said.
juliesa on September 16, 2008 at 4:57 PM
sparring with the idiots brings out the occasional epic post and since they spout moonbat talking points they actually sharpen our talking point fu….
sven10077 on September 16, 2008 at 4:58 PM
I’ve seen some of the reports from Meghan McCain. I think she does a good job, and appreciate her outreach to young voters, who shouldn’t simply be ignored or ridiculed, like the Obama campaign does to older voters.
Of course, I have no idea what the contemporary slang definition of “chill” means, as Ms. McCain is using it here, even after an internet search, but I assume its a desirable quality.
Loxodonta on September 16, 2008 at 4:58 PM
I’m tiring of my own topic …. Meghan’s book was autobiographical, just like Hilton’s. She “is going” into fashion design (presumably someday), another Paris Hilton foray. She’s a trust fund baby ….
Look, I’m just sayin’ …….. wait until the election season runs its course and see how McCain uses his daughter.
Topic closed for me.
BigD on September 16, 2008 at 5:00 PM
Meghan does a great job.
Spirit of 1776 on September 16, 2008 at 5:01 PM
My parents are both deceased. They had very little to leave to my brothers and me, and they left me the least of all of us – but one thing they did leave me was the lesson that envying and hating people who are financially better off is wrong…so I don’t do it. Ever. My dad taught me to make my own way in life, and I’m happy with that.
Any other comparisons to Paris Hilton (sex, drugs) you want to make, or are you pretty much finished with the “trust fund baby” crap?
capitalist piglet on September 16, 2008 at 5:02 PM
Whatever you do, ease up on the bold at least.
Spirit of 1776 on September 16, 2008 at 5:02 PM
well of course it is you slimed one candidates child while totally forgetting about “Scranton’s” son….
I mean she could be of lobbying and helping banks go under but I guess that requires a (d) by your name.
sven10077 on September 16, 2008 at 5:02 PM
I don’t need Metamucil, thanks, and I love Meghan McCain’s blog, actually.
That is separate from my original points.
BigD on September 16, 2008 at 5:03 PM
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
