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.

The McCain’s are sooooo yesterday! They need to shut up and go away.
Meghan McCain is the poor man’s Levi Johnston
Yes! This is exactly what I was thinking too. And what is she still doing giving interviews? Her father must be embarrassed.
If Meghan Mcshame is the only thing Bachmann has to worry about then she is home free.
You’d be forgiven assuming Meghan was the baby of the family but she’s not. John Sidney McCain, IV (b. 1986) is a Navy pilot. James McCain (b. 1988) went into the Marines and the youngest, the adopted Bangaladeshi girl, Bridget McCain (b. 1991) is currently in college. Like elder children Doug, Andy and Sidney they did some obligatory campaign work and publicity but otherwise have no lust for the limelight.
Meghan may be an attention whore now, but we’re going to see just how bad whenever her Dad passes on. Anyone want to take bets on what style of tell-all memoir she’s going to toss off then (think Ron Reagan’s latest), or what kind of grotesque spectacles she’s going to put on to keep up her brand?
Wait does that mean Sarah is not running why is she complementing her in a backhanded way?
Sorry but John McCain is just as bad and much more destructive to freedom in this country than his daughter who you correctly describe.
Her father must be embarrassed.Embarrassed by what? Idiot leftist pronouncements?
Not bloody likely.
He's the King of Idiot Leftist Pronouncements.
I'm certain he beams with pride every time his slut daughter shows the world how abysmally stupid she is.
Abysmal stupidity is a source of extreme pride in the McCain family.
“But what did Paris Hilton think of Michelle’s rebuttal? That’s what I really want to know.”
LOL! Yes..I also live for Paris/Megan political evaluations.
Somebody,
Please shut this stupid bitch up!
Well that’s just fine because MM is a rich man’s trailer park whore. Wit da smarts to match.
She’s just repeating what she hears over the dinner table. If she were my daughter, and I had run with Go. Palin, I’d tell Meghan to STFU!
Hey Meghan, Natalie Maines is holding on the phone for you.
Please tell me once again why anyone pays attention to her.
I must have missed that memo.
What an elitist. She is so 2008.
Nothing worse than an elitist with no justification for his/her “eliteness”.
Of course, that describes 98% of the left.
CNN is going to replace Parler/Spitzer with Meghan McCain/Ron Reagan, Jr...what’s a suitabloe title for the show?
Megan McCain is the Kim Kardacian of politics.
She hasn’t really DONE anything, but she’s famous.
Wonder how long it will be before Megan’s sex tape is “leaked”.....
Man, the acorn didn’t fall far from the tree at all.
