Meghan McCain to Rove and Cheney: “You had your eight years, go away”
posted at 6:45 pm on April 23, 2009 by Allahpundit
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 father has had how many years by now?
V15J on April 23, 2009 at 7:12 PM
Meg McCain is not a conservative. She registered for the GOP as a birthday gift for her father.
Rule: Principles make one a conservative.
carbon_footprint on April 23, 2009 at 7:13 PM
So true. Rove actually tweeted me about this. It’s not out of any stalking intent. She is just trying to stretch out her lefty appeal a bit more.
darii on April 23, 2009 at 7:13 PM
She looks horrible. Chubbier than usual and her black roots are showing. She looks like she has been drinking.
And AP and chubchub tweet regularly now, so don’t believe him when he says he’s not trying to move in on her. Of course, those of us who have observed AP for years know that he never moves farther than from his bedroom to the living room to his kitchen, repeat.
Allah don’t go to the chubchub — the chubchub comes to Allah.

YOUR DAD WAS AND IS AN AMERICAN HEROTHAT DOES NOT MEAN EVER WORD OUT OF HIS MOUTH OR YOURS IS GOLD IF YOU DONOT LIKE CONSERVATIVES PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BECOME A DEMOCRAT YOU ALREADY SOUND LIKE ONE
wade underhile on April 23, 2009 at 7:14 PM
She co-hosted the View? Did they talk about, er…?
dont taze me bro on April 23, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Oh, no doubt. I know why you do these things, I just don’t know why you enjoy pissing off your audience!
Sooner or later, you are going to regret doing this schtick. People will stop commenting, and start complaining to the boss. And don’t think it can’t happen, take a look at LGF. Charles Johnson used to have the top rated conservative web site on the internet – no more. Eventually, people get fed up.
Joe Pyne on April 23, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Meghan will always have a soap box from the media since she serves their purpose to make the GOP an unsuitable alternative in 18 months due to their conservative philosophy.
She’s basically being played for a dupe-maybe willingly, though she scarcely seems smart enough to pull that off.
jjshaka on April 23, 2009 at 7:14 PM
She seems a little unstable…
therightwinger on April 23, 2009 at 7:14 PM
What’s all this twitter about “rebuilding” the Republican Party–we’re not a frakin’ Lego set! We lost the presidency this time around…it’s cyclical like the weather the change of power in our gov. (Congress and the WH) What was it–7 million votes separating the GOP and Democratic candidate this year?…Anyway, we lose again in 3.5 years then we can break out the demolition derby…and Meghan McCain, too.
RepubChica on April 23, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Wow, a guy doesn’t comment for a few weeks, comes back, and discovers the fat jokes haven’t gone away.
Seriously Blake?
darii on April 23, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Yeah OK Meghan. You had your five minutes of fame, and since you’re a nobody, get back under your rock…
byteshredder on April 23, 2009 at 7:14 PM
You’ve had your 8 Bacon-Cheeseburgers….now go away.
Yeah, but that birth defect that causes you to crap out what little common sense God saw fit to give you is also present.

Fat little pig.
promachus on April 23, 2009 at 7:15 PM
Meghan McCain is the eight hundred pound gorilla in the RNC’s room. The zoo called, Meghan, they’d like their ‘silver back’ to come home….wanna a banana?
STFU you ugly, portly cow!

BigWyo on April 23, 2009 at 7:15 PM
I meant it as a compliment :).
FontanaConservative on April 23, 2009 at 7:16 PM
That is not a great comparison. Allahpundit never bans people who do not disagree with him. Hell, he doesn’t even ban people who call him names or degrade him personally.
carbon_footprint on April 23, 2009 at 7:16 PM
99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, you take one down pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall,…
christene on April 23, 2009 at 7:16 PM
There’s as much a chance of Meghan going away as the Obamination exiting. She’s the Media-annointed new face of the Republican Party, the anti-Palin, and they’re going to ride that horse for all it’s worth. And that’s a big horse )))
Why doesn’t Allah DM her or reply to her on Twitter, or maybe he has?
Mister Ghost on April 23, 2009 at 7:17 PM
Beta.
portlandon on April 23, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Feel free to leave again and not come back because I assure you the fat jokes will still be here.
Speaking of fat, no joke, who does chubchub think she’s fooling with the black clothes? She doesn’t look thinner and she looks like she is wearing the same stuff all the time.
Blake on April 23, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Allahpundit never bans people who do not
disagree with him.carbon_footprint on April 23, 2009 at 7:18 PM
And the name calling and bashing are a regular feature. In fact, the HA drinking game would include “Shot every time someone accuses Allah of comment bait or being a lib”
darii on April 23, 2009 at 7:19 PM
So how about that new star trek movie?
portlandon on April 23, 2009 at 7:19 PM
Could you imagine if I could make Allah a Alpha? WOuld he change his name.. AllahAlapha or AlphaAllah.
Would he walk up to a women who was hot in a bar and kiss her.. could I get him to field dress a moose?
The world will never know.
upinak on April 23, 2009 at 7:19 PM
She’s had her fifteen minutes, now she can go away.
(If somebody already made this comment, I’m sorry. I didn’t have time to read the whole thread. Gotta fix dinner for a crowd.)
Sloan Morganstern on April 23, 2009 at 7:20 PM
Wonderful.
darii on April 23, 2009 at 7:20 PM
Why don’t you try reading my post, I didn’t say anything about banning, I said he could lose a lot of his audience like LGF has, that’s all.
And then again, maybe not. Who knows, maybe the Hot Air audience loves this kind of thing. I just know, I am getting a little tired of it, but I am only one.
Joe Pyne on April 23, 2009 at 7:20 PM
I can’t believe the idiot is going after Rove.
1. Rove has been out of the loop for awhile. Attacking him means you have nothing else to work yourself into a faux frenzy over.
2. She’s definitely out of her league going after Rove.
3. I don’t believe she is smart enough to think of this herself but dumb enough to be set up by someone else.
4. If her parents loved her, they would stop her allowance and she would have to shut up and come home.
Blake on April 23, 2009 at 7:21 PM
If any woman could Upinak,…..you’d be the one.
He would change his name to Buck Pundit. HAHAHA.
portlandon on April 23, 2009 at 7:22 PM
check the number of posts allah has made about women and tell me he isnt in to speed dating.

Megan,
You have had more than 15 minutes…
Just saying.
RobertInLexington on April 23, 2009 at 7:22 PM
Thank you!
Blake on April 23, 2009 at 7:22 PM
Good grief, this gets repetitive..hey AP, Meghan, the GOP has been losing because they act like Democrat-lites.
StevefromMKE on April 23, 2009 at 7:22 PM
How many threads do you have to have on the latest ramblings of empty headed Princess Meagan McVacuous in order to earn one sleep over with her, AllahP?
One? Ten?
Just curious.

But, it’s so damn true.

Has anyone else seen the significance that she writes for the Daily Beast?
portlandon on April 23, 2009 at 7:23 PM
I know, and I read your post. You know the number one reason LGF has tanked? CJ bans people who disagree with him.
As to your other point, I get frustrated with AP a lot! But give credit where credit is due; he does not ban people for sport and he does take a lot of crap from people (including me.)
carbon_footprint on April 23, 2009 at 7:24 PM
I’m still not sure why Meghan McCain thinks that a couple of years of being registered in the GOP (though, admittedly, still voting mostly for Democrats) somehow gives her the standing to tell members of the GOP that have been actively working in and for the party for 30+ years that their time is up.
It’s the party of ideas. If she thinks that her ideas are better than Dick Cheney’s ideas, she can try to convince the rank and file. She doesn’t want to have to do that though. She wants to skip over the convincing step and just use her media platform to tell these guys to go away so her POV is the only one Republicans have to choose from.
I propose a series Dick Cheney/Meghan McCain debates about the various topics of the day and how they relate to the GOP. First Prize: the soul of the Republican party.
JadeNYU on April 23, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Meghan – 14:59. Your time is up. In the future: eat less & exercise more.
BHO Jonestown on April 23, 2009 at 7:25 PM

anniekc on April 23, 2009 at 7:27 PM
Well if you would get on your hands and knees and beg KP to take you back and then get on your hands and knees and beg MM to give you a raise then maybe you wouldn’t have to so shamelessly try to curry favour with that airhead. She’s too fat for you anyway. You can do better. For God’s sake, have a little more self respect, AP!
MB4 on April 23, 2009 at 7:27 PM
Good advice for Republicans: if the left seem to really like them, run away fast. Anyone who could vote for John Kerry should never, never, never be given any kind of credibility.

My bad. I thought AP’s line said she tweeted that.
budfox on April 23, 2009 at 7:31 PM
Megan McCain is IRRELEVANT. Why do you continue to cover her? You validate her and turn your site into some gossiping tit for tat.
EyesOpen on April 23, 2009 at 7:31 PM
That’s the absolute last thing Republicans or Americans need.
Lehosh on April 23, 2009 at 7:32 PM
If Meghan McCain is the anti-Palin she has everything in common with Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. She’s just not old and ugly yet.

notagool on April 23, 2009 at 7:32 PM
What part of “GO AWAY!” did she not get? Dittos to the Daddy McCain.
This girl is so overdone by the media and the net. I am tired of hearing what she thinks and what show she has recently been on. And I do not give one hoot as to what she thinks the GOP needs to do in order to become stronger and win elections! The answer is dumping dudes like her Dad and morons like herself.
Listen Ms. McCain, those tea parties were not just about being upset with the Dems destroying this country and Obama! They were about ALL those in Congress that have given the citizens they represent the finger when in came to what the American public wants from their government. We all voted and came to the conclusion, WE DON’T NEED NO STINKIN MODERATES!
As Rush once said, “Where have you seen a book titled, “Great Moderates in American History”? Uh, that would be nowhere!
What the GOP needs is an infusion of plain, average Americans who are fed up with the long arms of the government strangling them half to death! You can be gay or straight, Black or White, a legal immigrant, a white collar worker or a blue collar worker; it really does not matter. But the GOP just needs Americans willing to throw down those that would take away our freedoms to choose whatever way of life we desire. It would also help if we had a love of our Constitution!
Lord this woman is a pest!

Don’t sweat Megan McCain … as long as she’s on Frum’s side as major spokesman for the RINOs – there is no way he can claim anything close to a high “intellectual” ground.
Megan McCain is the voice of moderate Republica – the best they have.

Are you kidding? I’m a professional female with almost nothing good to say about Palin (she’s under-educated, un-electable, yada, yada). But at least Palin, unlike this half-wit, created and built her OWN career in politics.
Infidoll on April 23, 2009 at 7:45 PM
As always, I’m not telling you how to run your site, Allah, but why is it you post stuff like this that just pisses us off, rather than informative stuff Beck airs every night? The O’Reilly segment he did today is incredibly red meat, as is he’s constant breaking down the economic situation in a way that no one else is.
Hell, earlier you post Shep saying the f-word on the internet show “strategy room”, but you choose to then post the another video of the obnoxious chubby valley girl…
Over O’Reilly saying “Torture my ass!” at the end of a shoutfest with Ellis Henican last night? (Also, immediately realizing it and telling his people to bleep it)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUeyoRgBI-I
Again, I’m not trying to tell you how to do things, but as one of the longest standing fans/readers/commenters here, I think I speak for a large portion of the audience when I say you’re missing a lot of opportunities by overlooking things we’re all salivating for… and putting these things on the web is great for getting messages to people who would otherwise not hear them.
RightWinged on April 23, 2009 at 7:47 PM
I could care less about this mental midget but my question is – how could she not know the media is only using her.
Is she that dumb? (rhetorical) Does she seriously think that by virtue of her last name she can put herself in the same class as Cheney or Rove? That is just pathetic.
Dear God, those McCains are full of themselves and have such misguided notions about their popularity. Whoever said this on a previous thread was right – Thank heavens she is not the First Daughter. That would be pure torture.

HornetSting on April 23, 2009 at 7:50 PM
Honestly I don’t give a crap about you, your education, you in general. What I do care about is your work ethic, and how you can manage yourself.
Could YOU personally manage what Sarah Palin has had happen to her and is still being attacked? I doubt it. So STFU and gorw up. No one cares about your education.

Key West Reader on April 23, 2009 at 7:55 PM
She’s emulating her apparent hero, radio Leftist talker Stephanie Miller.
After all, the parallels are scary-Steffi’s Dad Bill ran on the last losing national GOP Presidential ticket to include a Republican Senator from Arizona, Barry Goldwater.
Of course, Steffi was only 3 years old when her Dad and Barry lost to longtime Halliburton whore Lyndon Johnson, but that experience is nonethless “seared” into her memory.
Perhaps Meghan is simply auditioning to be Steffi’s replacement host?

P.S. There is no such thing as a moderate republican. The ‘moderate republicans’ resulted in our Nation being delivered on a silver plate into the hands of Socialists disguised as democrats. What the hell is a Republican? Who cares! What the hell is a Democrat? Who cares.

We The People are not just sick and tired of you a$$holes, we are becoming enraged at your behavior. You have robbed us of our treasures and talents. You have demeaned
