For the record, Laura Ingraham never actually called Meghan McCain fat. However, Ingraham has been dead on hilarious in her imitation of Meghan's mindless sounding Valley Girl accent. A quick listen to Ms McCain's voice on this video clip of her appearance on CNN's Larry King Live last night brought back memories of the years your humble correspondent spent in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, birthplace of the Valley Girl accent which, unfortunately, spread to many parts of the country. That Valspeak accent still painfully reverberates in my ears yet despite my earnest hope that it would die a permanent death, along comes Meghan McCain to resurrect that annoying sound in interview after interview in her quest for eternal publicity for herself.
So how does someone who sounds so annoyingly vacuous rate so much publicity? Simple. When a Republican (or relative of a prominent Republican) slams Republicans and/or conservatives, such a person will be enthusiastically given a national forum by the MSM. Even someone like John McCain's daughter who doesn't really sound all that interested in political issues. As you can see in this interview, Valley Girl McCain seems much more enthusiastic rambling on about how she was supposedly "dissed" by Laura Ingraham and carefully pondering which tattoo to choose for her wrist. First Larry plays a video clip of Barack Obama laughing while discussing the economic crises during his 60 Minutes interview with Steve Kroft then asks Meghan for her "learned" input:

John Kerry did.
Link.
Google it—John Kerry stated he was “personally pro-life” and says he’s a Catholic.
Another thing, she bobs her head too much while talking; annoying to watch.

LOL. She can’t bob her head any more furiously than Ann Coulter does, can she? I need dramamine after watching Ann on TV.
He's already running for 2012.
He’s done, in terms of national politics.
I think and hope you're right
You made the claim, you prove it.
But, he had to “sneak up on us” in 2008 in order to win the nomination.
No way that’d ever happen again.
Were you asleep during the 2004 election? You just don’t want to admit you are wrong. This “personally pro-life” business that Meghan McCain espouses is no more pro-life than John Kerry.
Can somebody tell me what word she's looking for in her opening sentence. Some synonym for "epitomize" perhaps?
Sure must be a big and important word.
He's running.
No way that’d ever happen again.
McCain has toys in the attic. He giggles as much as Obama during his interviews. He's delusional. What sensible people like you think doesn't matter to him.
Quit pounding your keyboard and prove your claim.
You don’t want to Google it because you know I’m correct and obviously didn’t follow the 2004 election very closely.
“antithesizes”, if it were a word, would be the opposite of “epitomizes”.
Translation: You can't prove your claim.
There are many links about it on Google and I’m sure many FReepers that followed the 2004 election remember it as well. It’s fine if you want to believe that Meghan McCain is pro-life. “Personally”, I don’t. She wouldn’t have any problem at all fitting in with the Dems. They would welcome her with open arms.
“She has already said the GOP should be pro gay marriage”
That is overly strident on her part. Many Republicans are Christians, who have very deep to the core, Biblically-based values on this issue.
Many have already done a good bit to accomodate homosexuals that want to live in monogamous relationships with acceptable domestic partnerships or unions. No one is stalking gay people or forcing them to be straight.
Many conservatives are actually pretty tolerant about this issue and the singular point that they will not concede is the word “marriage”, which is between a man and a woman.
Why should they have to go over to Ms. McCain’s point of view? Especially, when they are in the extreme majority.
She should try to convince me to accept the word “marriage” between a man and another man, not paint me as a bigot because I won’t.
I’m willing to listen to her. Then she ought to hear me out.
That is tolerant.
It’s a relatively common phenomenon to see liberal parents raise kids who turn out to be conservative, and vice versa.
And I guess it’s to be expected that if parents have no real beliefs at all, as McCain the Old, where can the kids go but down the same path?
Progressive Republican?
RABS -- I think you should write this supercoolish genY progressive valleytwit a letter. Like, Meghan honey, it's not a generation thing!
I have yet to see this airhead outline exactly what policies she professes other than being pro-gay marriage and the ever-tiresome social liberal. Oh yeah... and she says she is clueless on the economy. Her opinion on foreign policy is probably "Like, you know, everyone should be able to fly to Kakakhstan on mommy's private jet... It's just, like kewl!"
