Politico must feel it has a delicious little story of media feuding to report upon. Recently Meghan McCain shook her head in amazement that President Obama would stoop so low as to appear on a Ryan Seacrest show. Seacrest has shot back at McCain snarking that McCain herself tried to get on his show, so what's the deal with her criticism he wonders? For its part Politico is lapping it all up. But the whole story misses an important point, one that mitigates in favor of McCain's point.
When it was announced that President Obama was going on Seacret's show, McCain was somewhat aghast at it all. Of the plans, McCain said, "there is something so unbelievably desperate and sad about the president going on Ryan Seacrest -exactly WHO is on his communications staff?" She went on to say, "it is belittling to The Office of The Presidency. But at the end of the day, it's all good things for Republicans..."
Also (making a reality TV reference): "No disrespect to Ryan Seacrest but I just don't think The President should be doing an interview with the producer of 'The Kardahsians.'" And: "He is THE PRESIDENT and the day of the elections that is what he is using his time for? no wonder republicans are about to sweep..."Well, ol' Ryan was not amused with the discounting of work. On his Twitter feed he slammed Meggie's comments...
I'll bet she has a blog, too.
Could we please stop giving this little piglet the publicity she craves? Ryan Seacrest has more sense in denying her her fame fix than Republicans do.
I do know what you mean bout Miss Piggie. But the thing is, this story should be about Obama, not Meghan. I think people are making it about Meghan and not putting the emphasis on Obama as it should be put.
What part of shut up does Meghan McCain does not get.
Who the hell is Ryan Seacrest? I’m super serial guys!
I have never heard of this dude (or dudette) before this kerfuffle.
I think the point was well made by others before this when Obama went on the Jon Stewart show. Obama is diminishing the image of President with this kind of trivia. However, if I were going to fault him, it would be that he could find the time to call the king of vapidness (Seacrest), but did not make the traditional congratulatory Presidential phone call to the San Francisco Giants after the World Series.
I disagree. Every time Meghan opens her over used mouth, several Freepers post the incident/s here.
As for for the Freeper, I agree.
Even a vapid twit can be correct now and then.
While it is fun for Ryan Seacrest to accuse her of hypocrisy, it is not necessarily hypocritical to believe that the POTUS should be held to a higher standard or exhibit a stronger sense of dignity than oneself....
example: if Eliot Spitfong’s “Kristin” should criticize CNN for getting into bed with Spitfong for money, it does not invalidate the criticism to point out that “Kristin” did that, too!!
one hopes that CNN should aspire to higher standards than a hooker (ok, too much to hope for) and one hopes that any POTUS should aspire to higher standards than Meghan McCain.....
which is NOT (necessarily) to compare Meghan McCain with “Kristin”..... ha haaaaa
Seacrest is an idiot. He thinks there is a comparison between Meghan asking to be on his show and the president of the united states appearing on his show?
Ryan needs to get over himself.
I don’t know if Lil’ Ryan is an “idiot” or not, but he is vapid.
I’d hit it.
Bingo! Hit the nail on the head! Meghan McCain needs something to do with her life. It's a shame to see anyone her age drifting aimlessly through life.
