Fattening Her Up Before The Kill

Katie Granju on conservative attacks on Meghan McCain:

This is a pretty pathetic display on behalf of Ingraham and Malkin. Is this the best they’ve got? And do they really want to crush and silence the younger conservative women who are coming along behind them by slinging sexist garbage? It appears so.

Ingraham and Coulter and Malkin are so very yesterday. They are part of a discredited conservative micro-minority that now wields no real influence except among their own self-congratulatory minions. The GOP is ready for new voices and younger players.

Dating McCain

By Kleinheider Posted on March 2, 2009 at 4:20 pm

John McCain’s daughter finds dating difficult:

Nothing makes me more ill than the idea of some guy bragging to his friends that he was going to go on a date with “John McCain’s daughter.” (Unfortunately this has happened more times than I would like to count and each time I can sense it within the first 30 seconds of meeting them.) One extreme fan of my mother’s recently told me I could be “his Cindy.” And then asked me if I ever wore pearls because they probably would look as good on me as they do on my mother. No, I’m not kidding. Any guy that has a fetish for older women in pantsuits and large pearls obviously only finds my last name attractive about me.

But the real problem with men who voted for my dad is that I never know to what degree of a fan they are of his. Are they so extreme that they would date me no matter how much they may or may not like me just to meet my dad? Once I went out with a guy who said the food I had ordered was a “maverick choice” and proceeded to tell me, “Wow, straight talking must run in the family.”

Meghan McCain Defends Bristol Palin

By Kleinheider Posted on September 2, 2008 at 11:32 am

From McCain Blogette:

The first political convention I ever attended was when my mom was pregnant with me in 1984 and the Republican Party nominated Ronald Reagan for a second term as President. I have been on political stages and in campaigns since before I could walk or talk. If there is one thing I have learned, it is that it is difficult to establish your identity and independence as the son or daughter of a politician. When I was 14 years old, a reporter questioned my father about me having a hypothetical abortion, had I been pregnant at 14. This reporter’s question single-handedly changed my life. This story comes up in almost every profile written about me and in almost every interview. It’s a rough go being the son or daughter of a politician. I have not known Bristol Palin very long, but there is a certain kinship I feel to her as I do other political daughters such as Chelsea Clinton, Jenna and Barbara Bush and Mary Cheney. You can’t fully understand it unless you have lived it. So I just wanted to let it be known that I support Bristol and the entire Palin family.
