Meghan McCain to Rove and Cheney: “You had your eight years, go away”

I don’t want to post it but I can’t not post it. I’m mystified as to why she assumes Rove’s Twittering is some half-assed pander to younger voters — like her, he probably just does it for fun — but it’s gratifying at least to know she’s pro-life. Free advice to Meggie Mac: Talking about the things you have in common with most Republicans rather than dwelling on the differences would go a long way towards earning you their respect, albeit at the price of losing you some media appearances.
For what it’s worth, she linked this approvingly on Twitter today:
The decline of moderate and independent Republicans, according to historian Vincent Cannato of the University of Massachusetts, Boston, “is only part of the problem” confronting Republicans today. Still, “just as Democrats needed to reach out to Blue Dogs” to build their coalition, Cannato said, “Republicans need to find out who the moderates and independents are in the country — and try to figure out how to appeal to them.”…
A rough road lies ahead for Republicans hoping to rebuild their party. They must recruit candidates that fit their districts, reach out to Hispanic voters among other crucial constituencies and find policies that appeal to a broad cross section of the country in the aftermath of George W. Bush’s unpopular presidency.
That will help Republicans achieve the kind of diversity — ideological, demographic and class-based — that will serve as a brake on extremism, create positive intellectual tension within the party and promote at least some bipartisan solutions to long-term challenges, including immigration reform and health care. A dose of moderation sprinkled onto its conservative base will be among the factors that will carry Republicans to victory in the years ahead.
Exit question: Is Meghan McCain the anti-Palin?

Her only qualification is that her mother didn’t abort her.
Other than that, she has no reason to be in the news.
Fat
Ignorant
Stupid
naive on every political front
about as smart as her dad when it comes to helping the party

Hey Moo Moo McLame, black is not as slimming as you think.
BillaryMcBush on April 24, 2009 at 9:03 AM
But her self-marketing has been brilliant.
SlimyBill on April 24, 2009 at 9:20 AM
Dumb as a bag o’ hammers.
Akzed on April 24, 2009 at 9:21 AM
Megs, you had your 15 minutes…you may leave now too. You are becoming the Kato Kaelin of politics.
ArmchairEnergist on April 24, 2009 at 9:32 AM
And we need to listen to MaggieMac…because of what? she’s won office? she’s raised boatloads of money? provided a winning strategy?
At least Rove and Chenney have gotten stuff done.
I R A Darth Aggie on April 24, 2009 at 10:00 AM
She puts the “Twit” in Twitter.
mechkiller_k on April 24, 2009 at 10:02 AM
We should be talking about how Liz Cheney ripped Nora O’Donnell a new one on MSNBC with precision, elegance, and intelligence. The attack on her is on big time..
MALICIOUS DISORDER on April 24, 2009 at 10:09 AM
yell MISS McCain your rino father has had a lot more than 8 years please tell him for to just go away.The sooner the better.
thmcbb on April 24, 2009 at 10:10 AM
She whines about people on the internet saying “she has no place in the GOP” but she wants the same thing from the Conservatives that they want from her – Just STFU
katiejane on April 24, 2009 at 10:11 AM
Absolutely! I haven’t seen it. Please attach a link so we can watch something useful. LOVE Liz Cheney.
JeffinOrlando on April 24, 2009 at 10:19 AM
I don’t think her 15 minutes are over by a longshot, unfortunately. The Left has to be delighted to have a useful idiot to carry their water and weaken the foundation of the GOP. Her dad served their purposes in just such a way for the past several years.
HuskerNate on April 24, 2009 at 10:21 AM
I hope she chokes on her next ham sandwich. She is the Jenine McBuffalo of the Republican party. Stupid ignorant and serving no purpose than to be a walking life support system for her big fat mouth.
BillaryMcBush on April 24, 2009 at 10:27 AM
sorry, I don’t have a link, I watched it live. Nora melted like the wicked witch of the west. Matthews, Olberloser called her every name you can’t say on TV
MALICIOUS DISORDER on April 24, 2009 at 10:28 AM
So uncalled for.
You are actually hoping she chokes to death??
AprilOrit on April 24, 2009 at 10:32 AM
Now this Twit is really pissing me off. She is not a Republican. She is a Ding Bat Liberal wearing wool. Mehgan, don’t you realize how stupid you are? Go far away, Far away to Never land. Your ignorance is showing more and more and you are wasting space. To bad because you are very pretty on the outside. Nothing on the inside.
sheebe on April 24, 2009 at 10:32 AM
I agree.
Setting this up so crazy loons can wish Meghan McCain dead gets us nowhere, fast.
AprilOrit on April 24, 2009 at 10:33 AM
Makes us look real bad. I agree. Would never wish anyone dead, she is young and she needs to grow up for a while. We all change in time.
sheebe on April 24, 2009 at 10:37 AM
Way to go HotAir – more Missy McCain stuff.
Yeah – love it…
jake-the-goose on April 24, 2009 at 10:42 AM
Who can blame her? Old bald dudes are icky. ‘Cept Daddy, of course. And that Seal guy.
Mr. D on April 24, 2009 at 10:49 AM
Conservatives to Meggie Mac: You had your eight months of campaigning for your Daddy, go away!”
Steve Z on April 24, 2009 at 11:01 AM
AP,
No, she’s just another air-headed bimbo like Paris Hilton that needs to think she has relevance. The problem is you are facilitating and being manipulated by the MSM.
How weak!
belad on April 24, 2009 at 11:02 AM
SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE HER GO AWAY! Her cuteness is now just tiresome.
BoomJunkie on April 24, 2009 at 11:02 AM
Karl Rove is probably Twittering to see what younger voters are thinking, to try to reach out to them in 2012.
Steve Z on April 24, 2009 at 11:03 AM
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Spoken like a true rich RINO… if she’s even that…
She probably needs to come out of teh closet and just face it…she’s one of DEM.
CynicalOptimist on April 24, 2009 at 11:09 AM
Liberals are such racists. And they don’t even know it.
The one black person on the panel did everything but use the term “token” when talking about Steele and they all just went along.
They all can’t fathom how a black man could get elected the leader of the Republican party.
And McCain can’t be that much of a Republican if she didn’t even know who he was. Cripes.
Jaynie59 on April 24, 2009 at 11:18 AM
It gives the loonhate squad who detest RINOS free reign to evolve into full fledged hate spouting trolls – which avails us nothing positive.
Unless of course our goal is to become the Huffington Post & KOS.
AprilOrit on April 24, 2009 at 11:19 AM
Oh… and Meghan… Beauty is only skin deep, but UGLY is to the bone…
CynicalOptimist on April 24, 2009 at 11:19 AM
She is a Democrat, can you just ignore the fat fool who is only interested in blowing her own trumpet. Yikes she looks like a European politician, that is the stuff of nightmares…
TrueBrit on April 24, 2009 at 11:22 AM
Maggie Mac – You had your 15 minutes. Now go away.
t.ferg on April 24, 2009 at 11:24 AM
Sounds like her dad is planing another run for prez and is using her to appeal to the mods. News flash, hon, you’re not that appealing and neither is your dad. Stop spouting rinoism, go back to Az, I’m sure dad is going to need help getting back to the senate first.
Kissmygrits on April 24, 2009 at 11:28 AM
Meghan is as clueless as her father.
SmallGovtGuy on April 24, 2009 at 11:28 AM
LET US MAKE THIS CLEAR SO THAT YOU CAN EVEN UNDERSTAND.
Go away McShame Girl. WE DO NOT WANT YOU IN OUR PARTY!.,
SHOOOOO. AND TAKE YOUR McLame dad with you.

Vashta.Nerada on April 24, 2009 at 11:47 AM
She is un-definable. My belief she is an attention hound with unattached values.
A true wildcat, spoiled rich chick enjoying her 15 minutes.
FireBlogger on April 24, 2009 at 11:48 AM
it’s sad. The poor girl actually thinks she’s relevant.
Pcoop on April 24, 2009 at 11:49 AM
Jeez Meghan, just make a sex tape and get another 15 minutes on the clock.
scullymj on April 24, 2009 at 11:54 AM
Meg, another celebrity airhead. The media just loves these people. I guess if you can’t report the ‘news’ what else is there.
docdave on April 24, 2009 at 12:02 PM
You’re either unable or unwilling to understand my point. I voted for Palin, albeit reluctantly. I’d vote for her again, with even more reluctance, against any Democrat challenger. Nevertheless, I have doubts about her viability on a national scale.
This is my opinion. It differs from yours, evidently, but that’s no reason to act like a child. Grow up.
Infidoll on April 24, 2009 at 12:10 PM
Why don’t somebody slap the snot outta that girl’s head? It might make room for a little bit of sense.
microfiction on April 24, 2009 at 12:12 PM
Her father puts on two faces. One for the hill and one for the campaign trail. She must have focused on the one he wears on the hill while ignoring the other. (Odd considering she spent much time with him on the trail.)
shick on April 24, 2009 at 12:14 PM
Just why exactly would anyone be interested in what Meghan McCain, thinks, says or does. Is she some sort of self appointed leader of the GOP?
Guest1.1 on April 24, 2009 at 12:14 PM
Meghan needs to be reminded that her brothers deployed overseas to fight for the right for Rove and Cheney to speak freely.
She’s just freaking out that her dad might lose his job soon and, with it, some of her opportunities for nepotism.
Christien on April 24, 2009 at 12:25 PM
Let me get this straight, we are being forced to listen someone being propped up by the liberal media telling us we should think and become like Democrats i.e. “PROGRESSIVES” in order to return to power. Good argument, why would they vote for us if we give the same platform as the democrats? That worked well in the last election with her ‘PROGRESSIVE LITE’ father. What is needed is a platform that promotes some simple ideas that are anti-democrat. If smaller government, localism, individual rights (instead community or group based rights) platform is promoted it would reach across the normal divide of Republican vs. Democrats . It is time to encourage what we have in common. I think pragmatism and common sense will be a much better platform than Megan’s Progressive agenda…PLEASE JUST GO AWAY MEGHAN, do something with your life before telling everyone else how they should live theirs
train on April 24, 2009 at 12:30 PM
Who made her a spokes person for Republicans? How about going home to Daddy and keeping still.
regmgr on April 24, 2009 at 12:37 PM

go away
speaking of which we have way to many ‘legacy’ politicians already.
Go Away
agmartin on April 24, 2009 at 12:54 PM
Megan baby, sounds like good advice. By the way, How many years has Maverick Senator Daddy had?
Mr. Grump on April 24, 2009 at 12:56 PM
Little girl you are the one that needs to go away! I’m sick of looking at you and sick of heaing nonsense come out of your mouth! I do believe its time for you to switch parties.
Eyvonne on April 24, 2009 at 1:13 PM
Just what the view needs! Another fat liberal bimbo spouting off misinformed hot air about topics that she doesn’t understand.
leetpriest on April 24, 2009 at 2:33 PM
Her traitorous father had his shot and this fat illiterate lesbian had her 15 minutes, GO Away. Illiterate C*%ts do not like patriots or conservatives. Goralphalone and meegan are in agreement. Send up dumb c&%t number 3.
Jerricho68 on April 24, 2009 at 3:00 PM
Meghan McCain is nothing but a dumb fat chick. In other words, she’s Allah’s type of woman. That’s why he’s ruining this site by consistent bombarding us with articles about this stupid twit. Give it a rest, Allah. There should be plenty of other fat chicks in New York you can obsess over.
Percy_Peabody on April 24, 2009 at 3:08 PM
Yep, beat me to it. I suspect this is another one of those Victimizing liberals playing at being republican.
When the RHINOs in the republican party finally figure out that the only way they are going to be accepted as democrat lites is to join the donkey and rainbow party, the Real GOP will be reborn. Hopefully without Meghan McLame and her Ham Sandwich opposing daddy John Hussein McCain.
BillaryMcBush on April 24, 2009 at 3:09 PM
What did Perez Hilton say about Miss California?
That goes double for Mehgan.
RobCon on April 24, 2009 at 3:24 PM
I voted for John McCain. The thought of having his bimbo daughter in the White House gives me pause…She is obviously working for the left to torment us. Can we please just ignore her now so she will go away…
djn on April 24, 2009 at 3:42 PM
Allahpundit always said that he likes his zombies the way he likes his women: Dumb and slow.
Blake on April 24, 2009 at 4:55 PM
I can’t watch Whoopee
I thought M.McCain was pro life herself but did not wish to impose her views on others. That is as pro-Life as stating you oppose human sacrifice but respect the rights of others to practice
I cannot shake my friend’s comments that M.McCain is really J. McCain posing as his own daughter to get an audience.
The part about creating ‘positive intellectual tension’ in the party is a real head scratcher, coming from M. McCain.
Another time waster is the ‘ideological, demographic and class-based diversity’ M. McCain says the GOP needs. Apparently M. McCain thinks a political party is – a special service for McCains and their friends to achieve their goals.
Funny M. McCain still uses the anachromistic term, ‘conservative base’ for the disobedient lackies who refuse to change their values to suit her crowd
If it was the GOP’s conservative base, the GOP would be representing them instead of lecturing them on their disobedience
M.McCain is doing conservatives a lot of good
I call it Aversion Therapy

BillaryMcBush on April 24, 2009 at 6:21 PM
I enjoy reading the comments by most of you, but there are some on here who just sound infantile when they put the spin on people’s names. Also, calling people names and “fat” and “illiterate” shows a lack of intelligence.
silvernana on April 24, 2009 at 6:22 PM

Meghan McCain just like her daddy and is infected with Rockefeller Republican disease. The same disease that has resulted in the RNC losing elections because they do not listen to the voters and stand for nothing but being Politically Correct.
She is exactly the kind of elitist in the RNC that needs to be run out on a rail.
ScottyDog on April 24, 2009 at 6:41 PM
This young man (obviously terribly immature) does our cause absolutely no good by being this childish and rude. Fat is not pejorative, but being ignorant and rude is, and this, young man, is ignorant and rude. As a grandmother I pray that my grandson doesn’t treat women, whether political enemies or not, in this ungracious manner. And we wonder why the world is getting nastier and nastier. Grow up.
doncow on April 24, 2009 at 6:55 PM
Any GOPer taking the advice of anyone, anyone at all from any branch of the U of Mass should be indicative of their death wish for the Party. This mean spirited, attention seeking, shallow girl probably has this in mind.
jeanie on April 24, 2009 at 7:33 PM
Whatever. Can’t she afford to get her stomach stapled?
Sign of the Dollar on April 24, 2009 at 8:31 PM
In case Ms. McCain missed it, it is Obama who keeps wanting to thrust Bush and Cheney into the spotlight.
Bush and Cheney stopped making themselves known somewhere around 9am Tuesday, January 20th.
Ms. McCain is so utterly stupid.
BKennedy on April 24, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Megan McCain, you’ve had your 15 minutes. Goodbye!
Rightwingguy on April 25, 2009 at 1:25 AM
I’m kind of wondering why everyone keeps hating on Megan McCain because of her weight. I mean i think she’s pretty good looking if you’re into that sort of thing. Just sayin’…..

While I’m no fan of Meghan McCain, I’ll add my (very conservative) voice to those who wish that commenters would stop calling her names.
I was not a fan when AthensBoy called Sarah Palin stupid and a Barbie, and I’m not a fan of conservatives doing it to liberals, either. It’s not like there isn’t enough to hit her with – from her immaturity and lack of knowledge of basic economics to her policy positions.
My first criticism of her is that she doesn’t understand that her father – and the positions he represents – lost. He would have lost by more if he didn’t have Gov. Palin on the ticket, who single-handedly brought life and energy to his campaign. She should figure out that the positions she espouses are not the ones that are going to help the GOP.
Roxeanne de Luca on April 26, 2009 at 1:26 AM
