John McCain and Sarah Palin have long insisted things are all good between them, even after their losing 2008 presidential effort wound up with a nasty bout finger pointing between loyalists to the two former running mates. But the family members of both candidates are not being so publicly amicable.
As ABC News's Sheila Marikar reports, Bristol Palin trashes the McCain clan in her new upcoming memoir, "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far."
It's unclear from Marikar's report whether the 20-year-old Palin daughter e specifically mentions her mother's running mate, her book does slam McCain's wife, Cindy, for acting like "royalty" and accuses the senator's 26-year-old daughter, Meghan, of being a snobby whiner.
Palin writes that she had a "sneaking suspicion I might need to watch my back" the first time she met Meghan McCain. She says the senator's daughter "ignored" the family during their first meet-and-greet and always seemed to be judging them.
"Every time we saw Meghan, she seemed to be constantly checking us out, comparing my family to hers and complaining," Bristol Palin writes. "Oh the complaining."
Cindy McCain, Palin writes, looked like a "queen" and conducted "herself like royalty." "I'd never seen people with so much Louis Vuitton luggage, so many cell phones, and so many constant helpers to do hair and makeup," Palin writes.

Who does she “disgrace”?
You mean you weren't basically calling her trailer trash and implying that she was unfamiliar with the wonders of the modern miracle of indoor plumbing? Oh. Just kidding. I know that you weren't really suggesting that Bristol was some backwater hick that had never seen a family that had more than one tv and a car that had power windows or anything like that. I didn't hake her quote to be one of surprise that there are people with wealth, but instead that she was shocked by the presumptuousness and sense of entitlement demonstrated by Cindy and Meghan.
I don’t think it was the first time the Governor’s family had been exposed to wealthy people, I think is was the McCain women that shocked her, but way for you to come through for Meghan.
And you are perhaps her mothers biggest fan ..sarc
‘Some have even given their lives so others can have the freedom to make fools of themselves.”
Yet you denigrate a young woman who is appreciating the freedom those men and women died for.
Yes I notice how there are a number of people here that can not even help themselves from Supporting Meagan McCain over any Palin family member.
They are so very transparent! They think we do not know who they are...unflippin believable!
She will be living on the TV set for 12 weeks or so with the two Massey brothers during the filming, the Masseys have become close friends with the Palins since they all met and bonded on the DWTS show.
Todd, Sarah, and Mrs Massey are all friends.
Didn't yer mamma ever warn you against mud rasslin with pigs?
I didn't take it any other way than that. :-)
I think that Todd and Palin are fine with the TV show involving the Massey family, they are all friends.
The first thing I remember about Sarah Palin was a nice joke she made - “Barack Obama has authored two memoirs, but not a single major law”.
And now this ...
Ha, ha! "Hypocrite!" It's the new HERETIC! Look, derllak, you're a troll and you've outed yourself. "No matter what she does" you say? No one said that but you. You see, troll, the difference is that Levi was talking trash about the very family he now shares genes with...his ex-mate and the grandparents of his very own, precious child.
But Bristol was talking about the family of a traitorous, elitist senator that slandered her mother at every turn, however slight. So you go ahead equating the two as you please, troll. It shows your true colors.
Uh, huh. I’m guessing your a Romney gal...right?
You girls are searching for, and making up things to git your attack on against the younger girl, but so far Bristol has done nothing wrong except for having sex with her high school sweetheart before she became a leader in the abstinence/pro-life movement.
Like this book for example, neither one of you have read it.
Bristol Palin Graduates from High School
Or do you need pictures?
Not only are you attacking the young lady, you are clueless about your target.
The only Reagan son in regards to Bristol you could mean, would be Michael.
Meghan McCain on the other hand has displayed at every one of her cross roads that she has zero content to her character.
Read the book have you?
Have you even seen any real reviews of the book by someone that has read it?
That's my problem with this memoir. The MSM will put Bristol's words in Sarah's mouth. Bristol's twenty-year-old, uninformed, inexperienced opinions and insights will be attributed directly to Sarah.
This is not helpful to Sarah and it gives me the impression that she is not running in 2012.
