Meghan McCain: Christine O’Donnell Seen as a Nutjob
**Written by Doug Powers
Disregard the above photo. I’m only putting it there to remind myself to check my tire pressure later this afternoon.
ABC billed their “This Week” program this morning as featuring “four powerhouse guests.” One of those four “powerhouse guests” was John McCain’s supergenius daughter (if it rains today it’s because David Brinkley is up there weeping at what his show has become), who offered some powerhouse insights on the Delaware Senate election:
Meghan McCain, author of the book “Dirty Sexy Politics,” said Christine O’Donnell, the Republican candidate for Senate in Delaware, was real trouble.
“Well, I speak as a 26-year-old woman and my problem is that, no matter what, Christine O’Donnell is making a mockery of running for public office,” McCain told anchor Christiane Amanpour. “She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business.”
In that case, O’Donnell should forget about the Senate and run for president.
Maybe I’m just in a grumpy mood, but it’s annoying when people have to state their own age and sex to remind listeners who they represent. “I speak as a 26 year old woman…” Well no kidding! Actually I think Meghan McCain speaks as a 17 year old valley girl, but what do I know?
McCain also believes that political inexperience is dangerous to the nation, but since many of our problems have been caused by entrenched experienced politicians, take this, like almost everything else she says, with a grain of salt:
McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said that the message, “that sends to my generation is: one day you can just wake and run for Senate, no matter how [much of] a lack of experience you have. And it scares for me for a lot of reasons.”
“I just know, in my group of friends, it turns people off because she’s seen as a nutjob,” she said.
Anybody can run for political office, and I thought that was a good thing because it was intended to keep the elites from having an unbreakable grip on power, occasionally resulting in dingy kids with unmerited Sunday morning talk show clout. That’s not the kind of progressive, open-minded “just way left of right-of-center” thinking on which Meghan McCain claims to pride herself.
In any case, that “nutjob” is out raising Harry Reid’s pet by a two to one margin.
Did I just waste time talking about what Meghan McCain said? Sorry about that — time to go watch football now!

The real nutjob is meghan! This gal seems to hate alot of women for some reason. She goes after Sarah and many others. I have no clue what her problem is, but I don’t have any use for her.
L
The only nut job I see is Meghan. That perennial air head is only getting a second look because she is McCain’s daughter, not because she has anything profound to say. Maybe Barbara should hire her to add to the View’s intelligence challenged panel.
Why yes, you did. Regarding picture, what do you think, 65 psi in each?
letget, Meghan’s problem is that she is surrounded by progressives and parrots their talking points. She has yet to learn to think for herself.
LOL, Rogue, you beat me to it! Push ‘em up any higher, and she will have earmuffs!
I wonder what Ms. McCain’s qualifications are to be a “powerhouse” other than being the fruit of John McCain’s loins?
I wonder if she dates Bill Maher (assuming he is straight of course)?
Pot, Kettle, some assembly required.
Meghan McCain sees Christine O’Donnell as a Nutjob; now that’s rich!
Nobody watches Amanpour because she thinks Trust Fund baby Meghan McCain is a powerhouse guest.
Meghan’s single great accomplishment was being born to a narcissistic politician.
You might have been the only person to have watched the show. Amanpour is a joke and Meghan McCain is as worthless and pointless as they come.
RINO drivel.
Has Christine O’Donnell run a lemonade stand? If so, she has more accomplishment and experience already than the current POTUS.
I didn’t know they measured silicon by pressure.
I like the way Meghan M. looks, but I don’t like her political positions.
She should be taken to the vet and have her vocal cords nipped.
OK, I see two of the nut jobs, who were the others? The pressure on the one on the left looks like it is getting frightening high.
This is the twofers election, the Democrats and the media, take each other out.
First impressions are important to people with half a brain…Meghan McCain…not so much. McCain is talking of course, about herself, right? Rich parents do so much to help their non-acheiving children promote themselves. Just look at the Hilton’s, and Lionel Richie.
My first impression, (even though I was warned to disregard that picture,) is that Miss McCain offers a first impression as that of a boob. She isn’t ugly, but then again, she isn’t pretty either. So, why the grandoise display of first stage Cooper’s Droop? That’s all she’s got.
She acquired a great deal of political saavy from daddy dearest, and in true fashion, displays only the RINO side when seeking favor from the shallow side of the aisle…liberals. (There’s money to be made there…not earned, but made.)
With McCain, there is no quiet elegance. No self-assuradness. No substance. Her message is simple…”look, I’ve got big boobies, I like to talk about sexual things, and I am DEFINATELY not one of those uptight Republicans. I’m one of you!“
What’s next Meghan? Playboy, Penthouse…no…Hustler is more likely! All visuals, no content, and no class!
She represents the Republican establishment, who are still pissed that their RINO lost. So they still harp on things they do not understand. WE DONT care if she does not believe in evolution (nobody is required to). We don’t care if she dabbled in Wicca as a high schooler. The POTUS more than dabbled in illegal drugs while in school. We do care about what is happening to the government and the country.
Shes wants to insult the Republican voters in Delaware. Well then explain why John McCain needed 20 million to win his primary. She is nothing more than a stooge for her MOTHER (who is still jealous of Palin).
The nutjobs are the McCain Republicans who would rather work with the communists to advance the progressive agenda than represent what the platform of the GOP stands for.
Eric Cantor has become one of those McCain Republicans and will no longer get my vote.
Floyd Bayne may not win this time, but Cantor will hear the footsteps.
Now that’s funny, good one Doug.
On to being a little more serious about the subject, who gives a flyin’ #$%k what this chubby little toad has to say. My money says she can’t spell Arizona without daddy’s help…or would that be mother’s help, daddy’s not the sharpest in the family either.
I don’t believe in evolution either. I don’t understand why that is a negative. How does your understanding of the origin of the species affect how you will spend the nation’s money? In fact, a majority of people in this country do not believe in evolution in spite of the monopoly it has in our public school rooms based on anecdotal evidence.
Most of the rest of the world believes in Creation too. Muslims don’t believe in evolution. . . and to them it is highly offensive as pigs and apes are what their god did to Jews and Christians.
I personally believe we were created by a benevolent God who loves us and wants the best our lives can be. You can believe whatever you want and Jesus will still love you anyway.
I think the ‘doesn’t believe in evolution’ smear comes directly from the elites in New York, San Francisco, other academics who believe that they are too dumb to live their own lives without the government developing rules for them. These elite intellectuals believe that people are so dumb that they need the government as a parent. THOSE are the people who think if you see inconsistencies in the theory of evolution (anecdotally) that you must then be stupid.
The Know-It-Alls have no idea what they don’t know. . . they just don’t want you to know that they don’t know so they ridicule you for not knowing something that is unknowable.
I know. I am a vegetarian. Does that make me a nutjob? Obviously she learned how to judge people from the condescending left.
I have to ponder if M.Mac would be happier in the democrat party bashing the right.
…but I tend to think she would be a miserable, spoiled, idiot just about anywhere.
She reminds me of that SNL commercial parody where Jane Curtin declares “I’m beautiful … but stupid.”
Maybe the McCain family will mirror the Reagans, and it will be the adopted child who grows up to be the conservative. Then again, Michael had Ron Sr., but Bridget doesn’t have a comparable ideological role model in the family.
Reminds me of the quote of Pauline Kael: “I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel them.”
Meghan needs to shut up and grow up.
It is so painful to listen to that doofus talk, I generally have to tune out. Where did she learn her speaking style…in Junior High? She certain hasn’t grown up since those days. I wonder if she ever plays back some of her interviews and what she really thinks about her performances. As a delusional progressive, she apparently thinks she is just totally awesome and RAD, dude. But I, like, just think she is, like, totally grody to the max.
happyscrapper#26,
I am like you, when I hear any person use the ‘like’ word after every three or four words, it turns me off as to where in the world ‘they done gone to skool’!
L
Let me just repeat Laura Ingranhm:
Meghan McCain is just a useful idiot for the left.
She is RHINO at best, a democrat at worst.
letget#27,
Well, I did it also, used the ‘like’ word after two words. Sure makes me look smart after my last post, didn’t it? I done gone to skool long time ago!

I think the AMERICAN PRAVDA media is just using clueless Meghan McCain as a primary election stalking horse, straw woman, or red herring to dilute Sarah Palin’s votes.

Big boobs–real or fake–don’t cut it. Only real conservative accomplishments count–no RINO’s need apply.

Why is she any “nuttier” than the Dems?
Some days I think all politicians are nutjobs. Are there ANY sane people out there??? H E L L O!??!
Is this the nastiest campaign evah???
I watched the video and it appears that she is growing another pair of those on her back. Stay tuned for her upcoming spots for weight watchers.
Anyone who is thinking of voting for John McCain should realize that this is what is being taught in his house. If you want to know what people really believe just take a look at their kids. John McCain has raised a left wing democrat. She hates republicans, the working class, and patriots.
Meghan McCain may not be the greatest representative for anything, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. O’Donnell is a nutjob and the people of Delaware can see that. That is why she is down by 17 points in the latest RCP average.
Has she ever been interviewed by a Conservative? Doug, you should put in a request.
Why do you say O’Donnell is a nutjob? If she is I guess I am too.
Meghan, just like every other NOW woman, is disdainful of any self-made, strong woman. She couldn’t help her envy from enveloping her every pore!
Let’s ignore Meghan from now on. She is as useless as a used toothpick.
Can someone please remind John McCain to get his princess back on her leash? Oh, and tell her to stop looking like a whore.
High five, Doug!
So, Doug, you’re tires are presently a vacume, and you need to inflate them to about 80 psi?
No. You’ve got reality exactly upside down. The people of Delaware are, on average, nutjobs who elect nutjobs like Biden, so now they are likely to elect an even nuttier nutjob like Coons.
They have a chance to elect a flawed candidate who at least is not a nutjob, but I doubt they will.
They’re more comfortable with nutjob marxists like Coons who like to ‘solve’ problems by raising their taxes to make the problems much bigger later on.
Too many have ridden high and mighty but didn’t deserve the horses.
what drove you to this nutjob conclusion, you taking someone’s place as troll of the day?
Let’s see here, Delaware had more than double the average midterm turn out, in the process they kicked a 40 yr career RINO to the curb with O’Donnell’s candidacy , but in your eyes Ms. O’Donnell is the nutjob? You may want to reevaluate who the nutjob is.
ROFL @ Doug. I couldn’t get past the opening line so – I didn’t. I just went right to comments because I knew I would enjoy them.
.oO wondering if Mrs. Soap would mind a few pin-ups around to help remind me to check tire pressure
UMMM, Doug, we don’t need a visual for “nutjob” – okay!
Me thinks you can use the picture to remind you to adjust your rabbit ears as well.
Aside from that ‘tire pressure’ reminder, I wonder how many people rEEally think Meghan McCain is relevant … ?
Meghan McCain rips on Palin and O’Donnell because she thinks that it’s the way to prove that she’s a “maverick,” just like her daddy taught her. Why don’t they learn that being a maverick is no good? Remember the Maverick automobile? Ford wanted to get into the mid-size car market, and thought the Maverick was the way to go. Unfortunately, it was defect-prone and unpopular. So I guess McCain and his daughter deserve to be called “Mavericks.”
26 years old? How old was McCain when she was born, 55? Wow I thought this chick was pushing 40 anyway. She is only “relevant” because the Left needs her and she knows it and is working the pole for all she’s worth. These are the kinds of “Republicans” we could use less of. Really, O’Donnell has more cred to run for high office than Obimbo ever did. It’s a wonder the guy had the smarts to find the WH restroom.
It is rather annoying to have to listen to the string of political children spewing their opinions as if they discovered something relevant. Meghan McCain, Alicia Mendenez and the endless supply of Kennedys polluting the air-waves with their dribble leaves me pressing the mute button.
Pot, meet kettle.
Meghan McCain, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardajian, Kelly Osbourne…all nitwits famous for their last names, or for being on TV sometimes. Now as for what McCain actually said..I….well… like…yawn…yawnnnnnnn….*snoreeeeeeee*
I don’t get that “nutjob” comment either. O’Donnell is a strong conservative woman who would probably do a great job in DC, and who has brain cells instead of the vacuum that is in Meghan’s head. Oh yeah, that means she is a nutjob to anyone on the left. Conservative woman = nutjob. I get it.
So approximately 58,000 Republicans turned out, with a little over 30,000 voting for O’Donnell. Meanwhile 125,000 registered Republicans did not vote. Then you’ve still got another 439,000 other registered voters that did not take part because they are independent or democrat. But no… that 30,000 proves more than O’Donnell’s 17 point deficit in current polls that the people of Delaware are behind her all the way, right?
Meanwhile that RINO was favored to beat Coons and help the Republicans retake the Senate.
I stated what happened the night of the primaries, at no time did I say the majority of Delaware constituents are behind her, now did I? All your figures mean squat other than Delaware is dyed in the wool lefty, socialist state. I won’t, can’t argue that one.
Having a RINO is not a win for the Republican Party or America no matter what the Grand Old Pals say. They are the problem.
You still haven’t explained as to how you determine Ms. O’Donnell is a nutjob.
What is it about her that really bothers you? That she’s an attractive, strong, confident woman, is that your problem? If your a troll a lib or an Country Club Republican I can see why you feel that way.
McCain:
I speak as a 42-year-old man…but if I was to speak as a 26-year-old woman, I might say:
Ouch…I think I just sprained my dignity.
What else but elitist nonsense should anyone have expected from this cloth-eared bint?
That’s what I thought, right up until the primary.
Since the O’Donnell win, he has refused to endorse her and even considered running as an independent (or was it as a write-in?)
So I’m not convinced he would have stayed a Republican if he defeated Coons. In fact, I’m more convinced he would have suddenly decided his Republican colleagues were “too conservative,” and pulled a Jeffords or a Spector.
Republicans don’t need to spend their time, money, or resources on any more of those.
It is just SO WRONG for someone to run in one party, accept the GOP money and endorsement, plus all the contributions people make to the candidate of their party…and then change parties!! I mean, there really needs to be some penalty for doing that!! Do they have to pay back the party for anything? If not, why not?? If I sent a contribution to Arlen Sphinchter (God forbid!!), I would want him to send it back to me!! This is just not right. What happened when Jeffords changed to democrat after running as a republican? Anything?
Lil’ Meg is an empty
suitbustiere.RE: believing in evolution (or not)…
SO WHAT!?!?!?
Last I checked, there wasn’t a “god of evolution” who judges you when you die. Chuckles Darwin isn’t stationed at the Pearly Gates asking you what you believed about evolution.
This isn’t a moral issue or an intellectual one, though the left tries to make it so. The important thing to me is that God did it. Billions of years, 6 days, something else… who cares? His creation, His perogative. When I get a spare moment in Heaven, I’ll ask Him about His methodology.
You are free to hold your opinion, revise it, expand it, debate it, etc.
This is America. Enjoy your freedom while you can before the leftist “thought police” becomes more than just a metaphor.
This just in … Doctors are baffled by Meghan McCain’s sudden tranformation into a frog.
Who showed his true colors by the his ignorant actions after he lost. Rather than support her and the people who voted for her, he went whining to Obama to discuss who knows what. I am glad to see Castle out of the running.
Funny, I heard the same thing while discussing her new book.
Takes one to know one”
That’s not an astute political point” said George Will in response to one of McCains comments-so TRUE!!
It runs in the McLame family and the sooner we’re done with them, the better. I seriously doubt that anyone actually saw Amapo’s show, she and her selection of “insiders” provoke no excitement/discussion/interest from any direction.
And most of you people thought that creating a “Political Dynasty” was easy, didn’t you?
Al Franken
Allen Grayson
Jerry Brown
Barbara Boxer
Barack Obama
Other clowns.
I completely understand why a candidate with no “real history” or “successes” would be of concern to progressive Meghan, as we see with the current occupant of the WH. However, the conversation I’ve had with other conservatives here in DE is that O’Donnell (who’s kind of a longshot) is worth voting for on the basis that she asks Jim DeMint what he’s doing that day, and does what Jim DeMint does. We all know what Chris Coons will do.
As Dexter Alarius said, why would Meghan McCain focus on her own party when the list of those who should be receiving her fire is so long. Three words: Senator Al Franken.
After convincing myself that watching Amanpour was better than nothing, I turned off the TV during the intro when I heard them include Megan McCain as a guest. What a joke. Also, Ironic that she claims O’Donnell has no place running for Senate because she ” “She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business.”
Funny, I would say the same reasoning applies to why Megan shouldn’t be given a pundit position on anything but the couch in her rich Mommy’s house next to her corrupt father.
I don’t know if O’Donnell is a nut job or not, but if she dropped the Stepford Wife/little girl voice, she would be taken more seriously. Same goes for McCain’s blow-up doll photo. OK, never mind, they are both a bit nuts.
Bingo!
That is the real bottom line. Voters get confused about all kinds of things that have nothing to do with how a candidate will actually vote when they are in the Senate.
O’Donnell will vote with DeMint.
Coons will vote with Reid, or with whatever leftwing nutjob is leading the Democrat Party. And he’ll be pushing the Democrat leadership to be even nuttier than it would otherwise be, raising taxes and bashing business even more.
Those are the facts. That is the reality. That is what Delaware voters should be focusing on.
What’s with the Andy Warhol book she’s holding up in her “balloon” pic? Is that to show she’s super hip and edgy? Does she really think young conservatives are listening to Pat Boone or something? I was heavily into punk rock in the early 80′s (and still listen to) but still voted for Reagan in ’84. Most punk bands hated Reagan. Musical or other interests have nothing to do with politics. I still like some very left leaning bands.
Book? There was a book?
If brains were located in the chest instead of the head, young Meghan would be a genius!
Well, whatever it is, it has a picture of Andy Warhol with his name on it. And for some reason she’s holding it up to the mirror while she takes a photo.
Hate to burst your bubble, but those brains are as phony as she is. Bet she stays away from sharp objects.
I don’t think Hustler is around anymore is it guys? Besides…ew. Aren’t they famous for ‘close-ups’?
Hmmmmm…..
When I was 26 years old, I wasn’t running around talking like an air-head, using my Daddy’s fame to keep myself and my pet projects in the limelight: I was actually preparing to go on to the next level in my career, about to take a job that would, for the next thirteen years (right up to today), show me what life was like, and how it would be to work a job that I absolutely loved.
Now back to Meghan McCain and Christine O’Donnell: First, I’m going to laugh all over the place, especially on M. McCain’s twitter site (if she still has one) when O’Donnell WINS in Delaware (Yes, I said “WHEN O’DONNELL WINS). Yes, I know what all the freaking polls are saying: I have read, seen, heard, and watched people say that Chris Coons is going to win in a whitewash, and I’ve heard all the libs drool over this one, as if this race will be the perfect failure of the Tea Party, et. al. ad nausaeum. Need I remind people of how badly O’Donnell crushed Castle in the Primary? Dare we think that Castle would be doing any better than O’Donnell at this point? Sure, Castl;e had never lost a statewide race in all of his years in public office in Delaware….but neither had Walter Mondale in Minnesota when he took over Paul Wellstone’s campaign, only to lose to Norm Coleman in 2002. Trust me, Folks, anything can happen on Election night, and quite often the sure thing advertised isn’t always the sure thing for real (“Dewey Defeats Truman” anyone?).
Second, Christine O’Donnell is basically taking on an entrenched Democrat running with an Entrenched Democrat Machine behind him. Need we remember that this is Vice-President Biden’s old seat? And how long had the current Vice-President held this seat before being elected to higher office (I’ll go ahead and answer: 36 years)? Can we say that O’Donnell is fighting pretty-much uphill? Her candidacy and campaign is akin to what any non-Communist would face in the old Soviet Union – very long odds. But again, this is the USA, and here in the USA, ANYthing can happen on election night.
Thirdly, notice what they are attacking O’Donnell on: whether or not she is a witch. Does this sound liek a Mainstream Media that has confidence in “their” guy, Chris Coons? They don’t necessarily assault her on her lack of experience; they don’t attack O’Donnell on her relative “newcomer” persona; they don’t bother relegating her as an “outsider”: they attack her on whether or not she is a witch, or even likes witches. Sound like another, high-profile GOP Candidate, who’s been relentlessly assaulted by the media because of bizarre stuff (such as her ledest daughter’s flaky, megalomaniacal former boyfriend)? In my obersvations, the assaults by the Left and their Media Lapdogs smacks of desperation in light of the coming tidal wave that I believe will wipe the Liberals from power in both houses (yes, I said BOTH houses).
To sum up, Meghan McCain’s point-of-view is less accurate than asomeone throwing a beach ball, trying to hit the red side of a red barn, and missing every time. Her “Youth” take is about as lame as a no-legged, clipped-winged duck. Let her mock the Tea Party all she wants; let her malign, smear, and slander. The proof will be on the pudding in less than three weeks…
Paris Hilton’s porcine clone’s political opinions are worth as much as the original’s are. We have a spoiled rich kid who participated in a failed campaign giving gratuitous advice.
It is worth every bit of what I paid for it.
I wonder if Daddy has seen that picture of his little girl. He would be so proud.
Megan McCain is just way too smart for trhe rest of us, with all her experience, her being a 26 year old female, and all that.
