Meghan McCain, a Daily Beast columnist and daughter of Sen. John McCain, apologized late Wednesday after posting a photo of herself on Twitter that stirred up some criticism and plenty of retweets.

The photo shows Ms. McCain in a tanktop, holding a copy of Andy Warhol’s biography, and her accompanying tweet referred to her “’spontaneous’ night in.”

A faux controversy to get attention is all this is

The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.

[garbanzo]

Uh...it wasn’t the tank top that got people’s attention.

That plump little Megan kinda resembles that Ditzy Chick gal.

[posterchild]

Showing cleavage now gets people moved from E! Online and TMZ to WSJ.

[hsmomx3]

I have to tell you that the McCain kids are never in the news in Arizona. What I read here is all I get but nothing in Phoenix.

[duckman]

Is that a Lincoln pendant or is it photo shopped?

[Mr. K]

sure.. it was the TANK TOP that was the problem!

Not the melons trying to escape...

[FastCoyote]

Meghan is sooo much more important to the Republican party than Sarah Palin.

[Scotswife]

HA!
you got that right!

There’s wearing a tank top at home - and then there’s posing the knockers so they’re spilling out so as to to intentionally take a “controversial” picture.

This girl really likes herself.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, Ms. McCain.

[LeonardFMason]

“I have clearly made a huge mistake and am sorry 2 those that are offended.”

Condensed: Sorry for HUGE 2.

[posterchild]

I’m not in AZ but I wouldn’t know who she was if not for FR. How did she become in the public eye? Does Sen. McCain have other ‘famous’ daughters?

[TheThirdRuffian]

Like most stupid fat girls, she shows her tits, as that is all she has to offer.

[Wee-Weed Up]

She’s wearing a tank top? How dare her!!!!! lol

[ichabod1]

Man, that is skanky. That a skanky ho.

[uncitizen]

Did taxpayer money pay for those?

[ottbmare]

What the heck has she got growing out of the top of her chest? Them things ain’t normal. Looks like she’s smuggling basketballs.

[fungoking]

Not Real.

Folks Dolly Parton is here tonight...sorry that's just 2 bald men sitting next to each other.

[silverleaf]

OMG, this fluffy vulgar woman needs a hook up really really bad

maybe with Alexandra Kerry, another messed up boob-flashing kid-woman

[MrB]

THIS must be the McCain that’s the “titular head of the GOP”.

Juan McCain, however, will forever and always be the dikular head.

OMG, this fluffy vulgar woman needs a hook up really really bad

maybe with Alexandra Kerry, another messed up boob-flashing kid-woman

[cblue55]

Larry Flynt will be knocking soon.

[dfwgator]

She’s about a six-packer, after a six-pack she doesn’t look all that bad.

[silverleaf]

Looks like a couple of piglets are wrestling under that tank top

[redstateconfidential]

She has a husky build like her father in his youth.

[Wee-Weed Up]

People act like they’ve never seen a woman with big knockers wearing a tank top. Come on people, this is stupid and a big waste of time.

[Towed_Jumper]

Nice pic...I once tried to get around to her good side —but I ran out of gas.

[NormsRevenge]

I guess she got them picking lettuce..

[nj patriot]

For heavens sake woman, have a salad!

[xsmommy]

but it’s not just a woman with big knockers in a tank top. it’s the attention-whore RINO daughter of McCain playing up her boobs in a self-taken photo to get even more attention, and then whining when some feedback is less than flattering.

[Eaker]

Typical fat girl pose.

[Dick Bachert]

As I listened to her on Larry “Cadaver” King, I kept thinking about something about which Boortz frequently reminds his male audience: “At some point, you’ll have to try to have a conversation with her.” I also kept thinking that she HAS to be from California until I remembered that Arizona also has valleys.

[mnehring]

Meghan McCain, a Daily Beast

LOL...

[Wee-Weed Up]

Ok, let me rephrase that. people act like they’ve never seen an attention whore with big knockers wearing a tank top. It’s still a complete waste of time. Why would any adult be offended by that? Don’t want your 5 and 6 year olds seeing that? then why the hell do you allow them to have twitter accounts and spend all their time on the internet?

[dfwgator]

Yeah, but she’s real easy to get her to come home with you, all you have to do is say, “I’ve Got Fudge!!!!....Hershey’s Chocolate Kisses....We’re talking Haagen Dazs!”

[CommerceComet]

I have never bought into the “I wasn’t aware of what I was wearing” argument when uttered by a female. Guys (at least the non-gay ones) are pretty oblivious to their clothes but not women in my experience. The women in my life are always self-conscious about what they are wearing.

It’s not like she was accidently wearing an Obama shirt when someone snapped a candid photo but HER BOOBS ARE FALLING OUT OF HER TANKTOP.

[xsmommy]

i think the majority of the commentary on FR is more along the lines of how pathetic she is for doing it, rather than thinking it’s a scandalous thing to do.

[webheart]

Did taxpayer money pay for those?

Stimulus funds.

[hsmomx3]

He has one adopted daughter and a few sons and I thought he had a daughter from his first marriage but I have never seen pictures of her.

Arizona media keeps this family well hidden. Heck, even Alice Cooper is more out in the open than the McCain family. And yes, we have sat next to Alice and his son in church when our kids were much younger.

[uncitizen]

Stimulus funds.

LOL - No doubt!
