WASHINGTON -- On the day her father won the New Hampshire primary in 2008, Meghan McCain feared she would be arrested for removing Mitt Romney campaign signs from a Nashua street corner.
"Stealing campaign signs is technically illegal, but I never thought anyone would enforce this. Nor did I expect we'd get caught," McCain confesses in her memoir, "Dirty Sexy Politics," which is released today.
McCain writes that she "had gotten pretty sick" of seeing Romney's signs, particularly a cluster she and friends suspected had been strategically placed outside the McCain campaign's hotel. After stashing several of them in a car trunk, McCain was confronted by a passer-by – and later plotted with her mother's hairstylist to take the fall if local authorities pursued the matter.
"Anybody who was lame enough to pull over and harass people on election day for stealing signs was probably lame enough to follow up and bring some New Hampshire state troopers to arrest me," she writes.

Anybody who was lame enough to pull over and harass people on election day for stealing signs She suppressed voter support for her daddy's opponent and she's claimed SHE was harassed on election day?!!!
BTW, ABC-Disney-Hyperion is sponsoring her book tour. This is nothing but a mud throwing campaign by Big Media to taint the GOP.

I read the headline and my first thought was that Megan was talking about Mitt’s great hair and Ken doll looks. Silly me.

Frankly this is what the 3rd or 4th story on M McShame. I realize daddy probably told her to keep her trap shut during the primaries.
WHY are WE being tortured with her mindless ramblings?

Yet another political sociopath. If she does it and gets away with it then it’s OK.
Not that Romney isn’t cut from exactly the same cloth.

Memoir? WTF? she's hasn't done anything with her life.... Neither did Zer0 and that didn't stop him from writing two books about himself.
