If Karl Rove thought Meghan McCain might soften her views on his use of Twitter when she cohosted "The View" today, he tuned in for nothing.

He may be employing today's technology, McCain said, but he's still yesterday's news.

"You've had your eight years," she said. "Now go away."

[rabscuttle385]

She did say she specifically cited Rove "more as a metaphor" for Republicans who think that just embracing contemporary technology will bring people from the Twitter generation into the party.

The problem isn't technology, said McCain. It's ideology – specifically, the party's reluctance to welcome "moderates" like herself. "We should become an umbrella party," she said.

"Stop telling me I don't have a place."

Meghan should twitter, she’s a twit.

You do have a place, it’s just not in the republican party. It’s the party your dad was more concerned about getting along with, making sure he didn’t offend any of them. Just be done with it and embrace your democrat-ness. You are one with them.

[Antoninus]

Wow, she's the left's favorite Republican.

Sickening.

[eastsider]

"Stop telling me I don't have a place."

Sweetie, if you had any more "place," you'd be paying double fare on United.

[Mr. Mojo]

Can’t she simply block Rove from being one of her “tweet” recipients? ...or is that not an option with Twitter?

[b4its2late]

It's driving her nuts, which is good. I hope he keeps following her.

[JoanneSD]

Will this woman go away please, HOw can we contact her office? she is just like al gore blowing wind, and no one can counter them

[wk4bush2004]

“Stop telling me I don’t have a place.”

No, Meghan, we won’t, because you DON’T HAVE A PLACE!!!! We are a conservative party and proudly pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, anti-illegal immigration and anti-big government!!! All you RINOs can just go sit on the other side of the aisle with your socialist friends.

[Glenn]

Bitch.

[silverleaf]

“Wow, she’s the left’s favorite Republican.”

Just like her Dear ol’ Dad, who also needs to “go away”

[Snickering Hound]

[VeniVidiVici]

OMG! This porker just can’t shut-up. She is completely blind to the fact she is being used.

Meghan, honey. I hate to break it to you but they hate you. You are a lower life form to them. You are simply an amusement; a dog toy that will either be torn apart or dropped in the toilet.

[Dixie Yooper]

Is there any way to get the media to pay more attention to what her mom does and says?

[Question_Assumptions]

That’s very nice of her cozying up to a show that crapped on her father and his running mate during the Presidential race.

[Friendofgeorge]

She voted for John Kerry for goodness sake, she probably voted for Gore as well.

[pallis]

Has Meghan found any Democrats to criticize yet? Has she had an intelligent idea yet?

[ozzymandus]

Even the left has figured out she’s just a dumb, fat, bitch.
(Not that they will stop exploiting her)

[FlipWilson]

Whatever. Meghan, you are no more than a useful idiot doing the left’s bidding. Scream and shout all you want about being a moderate and being the one we should welcome. Bottom line is this, we welcome who we welcome and all the tv appearances slaming Rove (who we are not necessarily fans of btw) will not make us welcome you or hold sway.
