Meghan McCain: Karl Rove's a 'Twitter Creep'
CNN Political Ticker ^ | Posted: 11:58 AM ET

Posted on 04/20/2009 10:06:40 AM PDT by lewisglad

Meghan McCain loves Twitter — except for the "creepy people." Like Karl Rove.

In a post for the Daily Beast published Monday, McCain says the social networking site has been a "liberating" experience for her — if only her dispatches weren't being read by the former Bush advisor.

"Karl Rove follows me on Twitter. That's creepy," she said. "I joined Twitter a few months ago; so far, it has been a liberating way to transition from political to personal blogging. It's allowed me to share the less serious aspects and humorously uncensored moments of my life. But there's also been a downside: I am now being followed by Karl Rove, and God knows how many other political pundits. We need to take Twitter back from the creepy people."

Later, she wrote: "I can't shake the fact that Karl Rove is following me-it can be creepy. So watch out."

The daughter of former Republican presidential candidate John McCain also said she finds Rove's Tweets "boring," and speculated that he had a "ghost Twitterer" or an assistant posting his thoughts.

"On the surface, Karl Rove's Twitter feed intrigues me," she said. Here's a guy who for years has been perceived as some kind of inaccessible man-behind-the-curtain figure. And now he Tweets numerous times a day. I've never met him in person, which only makes our Twitter relationship even weirder. And to be honest, I find Rove's Tweets boring. Sometimes he takes questions; other times he talks about his appearances on cable news and other shows. But he doesn't say anything substantive."

She said that Rove's Tweets "seem to reveal a softer side to him."

"Call it savvy marketing, but I find it disingenuous," she said. "And it's a bit weird to think his people-not even Rove himself-are following me."

“Twitter creep” is still better than “stupid biatch”.

Meghan McCain simply doesn’t understand that most of us don’t care about anything she says.

I find the junior McCain a little creepy. Other than “professional reporters” looking for ways to disparage conservatives, who would read her drivel? I couldn’t even muster up the interest to read the article.

All these Meghan McCain threads on FR merely encourage her.

I say we stop giving her opinions any legitimacy whatsoever.

(IMHO)

I can’t type fast enough or kind enough. She’s a moron, which certainly qualifies for political life, but I think we need leaders and not twitterers...

Does she never stop talking? At first it was understandable - a little more time in the spotlight for her. But now, it’s just strange.
