Meghan McCain has been making lots of enemies within the Republican Party. And Laura Ingraham certainly counts as one of them.
McCain, the 24-year-old daughter of former presidential candidate John McCain, grabbed headlines this week for taking on conservative author Ann Coulter, who McCain described as "offensive."
She kept up the attacks in a discussion with Rachel Maddow, when she intimated that Coulter’s comments make it difficult for the Republicans to court younger voters.
Well, none of this pleases radio host Laura Ingraham, who yesterday employed a Valley-girl voice to describe the 24-year-old McCain as "plus-sized." Here’s the transcript, via Think Progress:
OK, Meghan. Do you think that anyone would be talking to you if you weren’t kind of cute and you weren’t the daughter of John McCain? Or do you just think that they would just think that you were just another Valley girl gone awry?
…
OK, I was really hoping that I was going to get that role in the Real World, but then I realized that, well, they don’t like plus-sized models. They only like the women who look a certain way.
C’mon, Ingraham! McCain’s simply saying what she thinks about the party — no need to take on her weight, which, we think, is perfectly lovely. Now, ladies, can you kiss and make up?
“She adopted from Mexico or Guatemala”
Babies from those two countries have a long line of people waiting to adopt them. Guatemala recently made out of country adoption much more difficult. I’d think only disabled babies might not have the opportunity for a family to want them.
Man. Dem womenz tear into eachother like nothing.
I have three sisters. We used to watch it when we were teenagers and make fun of the whole "I want to save the world" stuff and the bad talent displays. We didn't really pick on their looks. (I'm a girl.) ;-)
“Laura Ingraham, who yesterday employed a Valley-girl voice to describe the 24-year-old McCain as “plus-sized.”
Ingraham was absolutely hysterical yesterday.
Laura was engaged to be married but the guy took a hike
when she told him she has cancer before her surgery and chemo after.
Whether McCain should or shouldn't have taken on Coulter, it's actually not like she started it. Remember Ann during the campaign?
Plus sized? I love Laura Ingraham but Meghan McCain is hardly plus sized.
You haven’t seen Meghan in the past yr.
She looks all right to me.
Eh, what a wimp. He's the one who's missing out!
Meghan is jealous. And she voted for Sen. Kerry.
Definitely NOT!
It would probably help if you could see the people making those comments.
That context would drastically shift things I have a feeling.
She's acting like a Democrat by going after a person's looks, etc. rather than their ideas.
Wrong. I have been saying this for a while. NO FAT CHICKS.
L0L! what can ya do? L0L
You doing alright?
“Peter, Paul and Manatee”
Oh My!
She looks like she’s lost weight lately. She is very pretty.
It is more like a democrat bashing Laura without knowing
what was said in context.
