On June 20, 2002, the United States Supreme Court decreed, in the case of Atkins v. Virginia, that the mildly mentally retarded were categorically exempt from capital punishment, reasoning that fully functional adults of diminished mental capacity were as a matter of law not as culpable for their acts. Writing eloquently in dissent, Justice Scalia drew a sharp distinction between the severely mentally retarded (who are truly not responsible for their actions), and the merely stupid (the category into which Mr. Atkins undoubtedly fell). Scalia argued forcefully that, with respect to the merely stupid, at least sometimes they deserve to be punished for their antisocial and destructive behavior.
This article, of course, is not about capital punishment. It is a book review of Dirty, Sexy Politics by Meghan McCain. However, the above discussion is relevant because I initially had reservations about writing this book review at all. After all, it is clear to everyone who has read Meghan McCains twitter feed, her articles on The Daily Beast, or her ill-fated campaign blog that Meghan is not a not a paragon of clear reasoning, exemplar of familiarity with facts, nor a model of English language expertise. And after subjecting myself to 194 continuous pages of her writing, it became clear that none of the above-described works truly plumbed the depths of mental vacuity in which Ms. McCain aimlessly and cluelessly drifts.
This presented a dilemma.
It is impossible to read Dirty, Sexy Politics and come away with the impression that you have read anything other than the completely unedited ramblings of an idiot. This being a professional website for which I have a great deal of respect, I searched for a more eloquent or gentle way to accurately phrase the previous sentence but could not find one.

You think the Left knows how to use Meghan now, can you imagine how much worse it would have been if he had won the 2008 election?
She is typical of the Obama-Voting Public. Which public, the last time it counted, totaled up 53% of the popular vote for The Mombasa Moonbeam.
Team Obama and their house organ The MSM, are evil, not dumb. Meghan is their Kim Kardashian; their Paris Hilton; their Brittany Spears; each of whom means far more to a key democrat constituency than who their congressman, or even mayor, might be. "Hey, let's make Barry 7th Grade Class President! He's way cool ... and "black," too!!"
Got $100 that says Meghan has no idea who her county commissioners are, or who's on the Supreme Court. And you can put that on her Facebook Page.
great review. The MSM loves this idiot daughter of McCain, and they think we are so dumb that if MainStreamMedia anoints her a credible Republican spokesman, mission accomplished. Spoiler in place, the GOP will split down the middle.
But America is not dumb enough to trust the observations of the spoiled child of a RINO with an obvious chip on her shoulder and a transparently shallow liberal-hip world view. Her paranoid tantrums grew tiresome years ago, and she has no audience.
Oh my... that’s gonna leave a mark. Devastating, indeed.
“Shes a fat airhead who looks like a typical one night stand. If I were John McCain and had the ability to be shamed, Id be ashamed.”
Meghan doesn’t breate without McCain’s okay. He has the power to shut this dimwit up, he doesn’t want to. Most of her rambling sounds just like him.
*On the View: Meghan McCain Blasts Tea Parties
Sen. John McCains daughter says the movement is filled with innate racism.
Does ANYONE think Meghan isnt doing her fathers bidding???
BTW...John McCain doesn’t have the ability to be shamed.
” Meghan McCain answers the question, Can one write a book if one is too stupid to read one? “
LOL!!
“...It is impossible to read Dirty, Sexy Politics and come away with the impression that you have read anything other than the completely unedited ramblings of an idiot. ...”
Quote of the day.
Nice rack, though...(Grinning)
(hey...I gots ta be ME...)
Admittedly, it’s not a crime to be stupid. Write a book to prove that you are, to make certain that everyone knows about it!
I'm willing to bet that Meghan has never read one conservative tract in her entire life. Someone should grill her (not literally, too much fat) by asking her to identify Hayek, Sowell, and other notable conservative writers and thinkers. She's lived her life in a very small bubble. Nothing much has intruded into it.
Agreed... idiot!... with nice boobs. :-)
ping
Just sayin’...
CA....
“Perky”, even...
or...(ready?)
The HEADLIGHTS are on, but nobody’s driving the car??? snicker, snicker...
(Hmmm...methinks this can spiral waaaaaaaaaaaay down to the depths here, real quickly...heheheh)
” Mama had a lotta money, but momma wanted power, so she bought daddy. Daddy was for sale. It was a corporate merger.”
” The only person I know who is more power hungray than Momma, is Daddy. Daddy will say or do anything to attain power. Nothing is beneath Daddy. I’m sorta following in his footsteps “
There.....I saved y’all 24 dollars.
yeah, but the REAL question is this:
Are they real, or did Momma buy those too (or “those two”... as it were)??
Reasonable minds gots ta know...
Hey, gee, thanks man! You’re really a stand up guy! I appreciate it!
CA....
nah, fat girl boobies tend to be ‘heavy’ as well...
Whoever “totally” made that bookcover “totally” omitted the use of “totally”, “totally”.
