Kathleen Parker: Is Meghan McCain the GOP's answer to Rush Limbaugh?
NewsBusters ^ | April 3, 2009 | P.J. Gladnick

Kathleen Parker, a "conservative" columnist who has discovered that slamming real conservatives was an easy way to lift herself from her earlier state of relative anonymity, has now turned herself into an inadvertent comedienne. I mean, how can you beat this comedy line on the title of her latest column appearing in the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel: "Is Meghan McCain the GOP's answer to Rush Limbaugh?" Yes, Parker is seriously proposing that "Valley Girl McCain" can save the Republicans from that "nasty" Rush Limbaugh:

The GOP's identity crisis just got more interesting with the recent media splash of Meghan McCain, eldest daughter of the senator who did not become president.

Young McCain, who began blogging during her father's presidential campaign, recently made waves at The Daily Beast when she picked a fight with conservative media mavens Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham. This is enough sport to make the little dog laugh, to say nothing of the dish and the spoon.

McCain, just 24, is one smart cookie. In a matter of weeks, she has created a brand, presenting herself as a fresh face of her daddy's party and a voice for young conservatives. Strategically speaking, what better way to launch herself than to challenge the reigning diva herself, Miz Coulter?

Madonna, meet Britney.

—Get rid of the RINOs or the whole GOP and in a few years things will be pretty much as they were. Voters more or less get what they want.—

Get rid of what you call the “RINOS”, and the GOP will be holding its 2012 convention in the back room of a Denny’s.
On second thought, make it a Waffle House, since only people from the southeastern US would be in attendance!

Hmmm...Just strange you both slam conservatives and then defend yourself by making over the top references about gays. Something that someone trying to establish their “credentials” by assuming a position they think would make them popular with conservatives. Somehow you just can’t quite pull it off Kathlee...uh, I mean seatrout.

"Is Meghan McCain the Answer to the GOP's Rush Limbaugh?"

Um, what was the question?

If it was "Who is the lightweight fluffy TMZ counterpart to Rush's focus on the serious issues of the day?" then the answer is yes.
