Tell us what you really think, Meghan.
Meghan McCain took aim at Rep. Michele Bachmann's State of the Union rebuttal on Wednesday night, insisting the Minnesota congresswoman is "a poor man's Sarah Palin."
The 26-year-old Daily Beast columnist and daughter of former GOP vice presidential candidate John McCain, made the cutting remarks when MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell asked what she thought of the "second response to the speech."
Bachmann gave her rebuttal on behalf of the Tea Party after the designated Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address had already aired.
Critics charged Bachmann was giving the appearance that the GOP and Tea Party were divided.
O'Donnell agreed with McCain that "there were these different people who are just using their platforms to their own personal advantage rather than thinking about what it means for the party."
"I think it's important to note that Michele Bachmann is not a leader," said McCain. "She is not a leader of the Republican Party. Michele Bachmann in my opinion is no better than a poor man's Sarah Palin."
CNN was the only cable network to air Bachmann's rebuttal live, which McCain said the network should be "ashamed" about.

Someone needs to poke a sock in her pie hole.
She’d probably eat it.
And Meghan is a deaf, dumb and blind mans dream come true.
It’s an ongoing saga!
Hey, Megan! You’re a ‘Poor Man’s Helen Thomas!..................
The only reason the media pays attention to Meghan is because her father is John McCain. If she had any journalistic talent, or talent of any kind, she would address the substance of Michele Bachmann's rebuttal, instead of resorting to name calling like her fellow Democrats. She continues to provide evidence that she has a disordered mind.
I continue to be amazed that anyone pays attention to such a lightweight as Meghan.
As far as substance goes, Michele's rebuttal was to the point and clearly more informative than Obama's muddled return to big government State of the Union speech.
She learned how to curry favor with the media at her father’s feet. Isn’t it interesting how someone with virtually no experience and/or accomplishments (as an adult) can somehow instantly become the “face of the conservative movement” on the MSM?
She’s like a female version of David Gergin
And Meghan is an MSNBC Republican. A lower species even than RINO.
Ok, yes I have a graduate degree and can be snobbish, but even an 8th grader could have proof read this and figured out that the writer screwed up.
Onto the fat pig daughter of McLame, The MSM is obsessed with her because she is a so called "Republican" who hates Republicans.
Hey hun your 15 minutes are over go to Jenny Craig or go on that diet they always advertise on Fox News maybe you can get a few more minutes of fame.
Just the fact that she was willing to go on TV with Lawrence O’Donnell is all you need to know about “miss” McCain.
A real Hanoi Jane's soul sister.
I guess that makes Meghan the “Fat Man’s Cindy McCain”
There is proof everywhere that until the rise of the Tea Party, our “Democrats” and “Republicans” were truly just slightly different shades of the same politician.
All one has to do is record how often in the last year Conservatives have been bashed by “REPUBLICANS”!
Meghan, your time is up. Please sit down.
And...like....she wasn’t even looking at the camera....like....who does that? Like, ya know....I couldn’t even understand half of the words she was saying....they were too big, like...and like, I don’t know....like...she just sucks or something....like....ya know?
It goes without saying that ANY individual who is duly elected by the American people and who answers to a constituency is entitled to address the public!!!!!
AND the MSM has a CATEGORICAL OBLIGATION to broadcast the speeches OF elected officials. IF the MSM can accomplish this in a timely way AND WITHOUT bias or prejudice (either overt or covert) so much the better!!!
(Since the MSM is NEVER held to the same level of accountability which is imposed on Conservative leaders, I am not optimistic this can be (is being) done!!!)
The McCain’s are sooooo yesterday! They need to shut up and go away.
