Last week Palin dismissed the Bush family as “blue bloods” but Meghan McCain, who admits she's one, says the media star is a playing a dangerous game that will tear apart the Republican Party. Welcome to the echo chamber! This week's (or possibly month's) latest rhetorical talking point is "blue bloods." And guess what? In the way it has been used I am probably considered one and so is the entire Bush family, not to mention countless others. And who else would deliver such a catchy media talking point than, yes, Sarah Palin. The reference to "blue bloods" was made after former President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara said in an interview that they thought Mitt Romney was essentially the man to watch in 2012, followed by an extra zinger from the notorious straight talking former first lady Barbara Bush who said she thinks "Sarah Palin should stay in Alaska." Sarah Palin responded on the Laura Ingraham radio show saying "of course they think that, the Bush's are blue bloods."
I actually had to Google what the meaning of "blue bloods" was, although I could surmise that it was some kind of knock against education and coming from a family of some success. Yes, in essence that is what this statement meant. Families that work hard and achieve a long line of successful people are "blue bloods" and thus, she implied the opinions of said people are jaded and elitist, even if that family lineage has a long history of public service and leadership within Republican

This McCain girl needs to get a life. She makes all of these nutty statements about people of accomplishment while she is still wiping her nose on orders from her mother.
The best way to get back of them is to pretend they aren’t there. You know some host like Hannity will bring this stuff up hoping to get a response. She should just say “I am not going to comment on that. But I would be glad to discuss issues.”
Shut Up Meghan!
Among the ones who absolutely hated the cheerleaders.
Something tells me she just regurgitates what mom and dad spew during cocktail hour. What was Juan, last in his class??? Stupid is as stupid inherits genetically.

This girl is a useless idiot..She is getting attention from the people here and the media..so she is in HOG HEAVEN..
You MeganMouth!
I have faith she will. She has not responded to Meghan in the past nor that itch Nicole. She will stay above the fray. as far as Sean, I wish he would go away sometimes. He is getting boring. same ole stuff...
From dictionary.com:
Blue blood
1. an aristocrat, noble, or member of a socially prominent family.
2. aristocratic, noble, or socially prominent lineage or relatives:
Well said (written) ma dear. Well said.
Isn’t her 15 minutes up yet? Why is her mindless drivel still being quoted anyway? She has a right to her opinion, but no one is obligated to repeat it.
“could surmise that it was some kind of knock against education and coming from a family of some success. Yes, in essence that is what this statement meant. Families that work hard and achieve a long line of successful people are “blue bloods” “
BZZZZZZZZT! Wrong answer!
The point is that a “blue blood” doesn’t HAVE to work hard, they get “legacy” admissions to Yale and Harvard despite mediocre performance, and are elevated through nepotism, NOT merit.
Seriously, just ignore this brat. DO NOT click on her stories, do not post anything she writes, etc. She is desperately trying to interject herself in to the political arena, while posting as a Republican, and she is failing miserably.
But pay her no attention whatsoever.
How do you get Meg McCain through a door? Grease her hips and teas her with a twinkie!
Next on Celebrity Deathmatch, the Bonzai Barracuda from Wasilla
versus the Bleached Blimp from Nutsville.
She hates the whole Palin family I’m convinced. We know she hates Sarah, I don’t doubt she is jealous of Bristol now. Hell even Willow gets more attention on Facebook than Megaton.
The nut don’t fall far from the tree.....her Daddy gets on my nerves too. Wonder when he’ll switch parties. His little fat twit child has already. Neither one of them are worthy to shine Sarah Palin’s boots!
