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

OK, how about “County Clubber” then princess.
She is SO clueless.
And she has the nerve to call Sarah Palin stupid?
If Meghan McCain didn’t have her last name, she’d be nobody. As far as I’m concerned, she is... but the media love her. Which is exactly why thinking people can dismiss her every utterance as the prattle of a fool.
More like Rodeo Drive trailer trash in Ms. Juan’s case.
Please, Megan, i know you are probably a nice person at heart, but please just, just go away!
Posting an article from this spoiled brat only encourages her. We should all just ignore her and perhaps she’ll mercifully recede into the woodwork.
Oh good gravy, everyone has got to get in the mix. Make a name for themselves with Palin. Who can bring her down. What? do they get a prize or something. I cant get myself to read the article, is there a way to respond to this creatin.
Somebody toss it a pork chop.
Somebody get her a twinkie to shut her piehole. Another useful idiot.
Meghan, you are in the ring with Big Guns now, but you do not belong there. You are so out-classed. Please go away.
I can’y believe the media provides this chubby dimwit a platform.
Megan is the new standard definition of BIMBO.
Please, Megan, have your incompetent dad take you for a plane ride so that he can (once again) crash and perhaps improve the country’s (and the senate’s) IQ.
Another lie about Sarah.....they must be going in to full panic mode.
No Megan, you ignorant slut, Sarah did not say what you attributed to her...just as she did not say what Joe Scarborough said she did in his Slate hit piece.
God I want to watch all their heads explode simultaneously on election night!
I can’y believe the media provides this chubby dimwit a platform.
Your comment says it well.
Poor little rich girl.
“tear apart the Republican Party”
No problem.
Who needs a spineless, loosely principled, perpetually compromising, elitist, condescending, smirking national party anyways?
I’ll continue to vote for Tea Party candidates under the legacy Republican banner. Forget the National organization.
