Meghan McCain, one of the daughters of former Republican presidential candidate John McCain, has apologised for using Twitter to post a picture in which she displayed an ample amount of cleavage.
McCain, 24, who helped her father campaign for president last year and is a columnist for the website The Daily Beast, posted the photo she took of herself on Twitpic late on Wednesday.
"My 'spontaneous' night in is my Andy Warhol biography and takeout," she said in a "tweet" accompanying the picture.
"I'm getting old."
After a string of comments were posted about the picture - mostly from apparently male Twitter users - McCain said she was "just trying to be funny" and was considering deleting her Twitter account.
"When I am alone in my apartment, I wear tank tops and sweat pants, I had no idea this makes me a 'slut'," she said on Twitter.
"I can't even tell you how hurt I am.
"This is why I have been considering deleting my Twitter account, what once was fun now just seems like a vessel for harassment," she said.
After saying she planned to "sleep on it," McCain took to Twitter again to apologise.
"I do want to apologise to anyone that was offended by my Twitpic," McCain said.
"I have clearly made a huge mistake and am sorry 2 those that are offended."
In a "tweet" on Thursday, she said she wanted to "thank my family and friends for their support. This has been an embarrassing experience but also a learning one.
"I will not be deleting my Twitter account," she added, "but I will be more careful in the future about my use with the medium."
McCain, whose Twitter handle is @mccainBlogette, describes herself as a "moderate" member of the Republican Party and has come out in support of such liberal causes as gay marriage.
The picture was deleted from Twitpic on Thursday afternoon.
Dumb@ss.
TTIUWOP
The McCain version of Paris Hilton, only the McCains are even more lost.
All things considered, perhaps the right acronym is: TTIBOWP
(This Thread Is Better Off Without Pictures)
You idiot. It's not the tank top that makes you a slut. It's the fact that you posted a picture of yourself on the internet with your tits hanging out of the top of your shirt that people are ridiculing you for.
Funny how the MSM never attacks her, just the Palin kids...
Here’s a link. Get the eyebleach handy.

Too late, the ‘bimbo’ label now stands.
Meggy, I don’t know how your parents feel, but I would be embarrassed to have you as a daughter. How old are you anyway? Ever plan on growing up?
Smart Girl.She reads Russian.
I don’t buy it for a minute - everything women do, especially younger women, is carefully orchestrated and planned.
I wonder how much duct tape was used for that pic?
Paris Hilton is one smart cookie unlike Megan McCain who is one fat RINO.
LOL
What are your other spontaneous nights like? Eating a pint of Hagen Daz followed by uncontrollable crying as to why no guy wants to date you?
She’s right. She is getting old.
Took him that long to say something?
Ridicule her all you want, but I’m all for the priciple of internet cleavage.
what an attention starved freak.
