Last week, Daily Beast columnist Meghan McCain sat down for an interview with potential 2012 GOP presidential nomination contender Donald Trump. The interview itself received criticism from many circles, and drew notice from both the right and the left.
On Imus in the Morning Thursday on the Fox Business Network, the daughter of the 2008 Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, responded to her detractors and had no qualms with such criticism.
You know Im not a journalist, Im a columnist and a commentator and working on being a media personality and Im not mean, if you need a hard hitting interview I will be the first to say dont go to me, Im too nice, McCain said. I dont like asking people uncomfortable questions because I know what it feels like on the other end. Hes very hard to interview. I was trying to ask him real questions and hes like, I love you, I love your family. And Im like, Oh, thank you, and Im such a like dork. I go, Thats nice and people are jerks. So I dont know and I did it and got so much pickup and got a lot of crap from people. But I took him seriously and I think thats why it got so much attention, because I was like, Are you really going to Iowa and is your family ready? Im sorry you thought it was too kissy.

I was driving to Philadelphia when he interviewed “ Mayor Nagin”. (The bald headed guy “ I don’t remember his name”)and they went into “My Moms is in an attic, tryin’ to keep Bush from drownin’ her” From there it was hilarious. They did the same thing weeks later and poor ol’mom was supposedly dead and Nagin couldn’t get the body. I pulled over on the SureKill Expressway and laughed until I ALMOST pissed my pants. Imus was an A-hole but he was amusing. Right, DAVE? Dave ain’t here.
I’m glad she realizes she is not a journalist. Its a start.
She's a journalist. If an uneducated one.
