Sep.09.2008 Meghan McCain wants you to ignore that whole Bristol Palin thing
Meghan McCain is promoting some new book and she looks kind of like a fatso in some photos (I called her Mooghan once) but kind of sexy in others so I’m going to err on the side of caution and write about her here. She has problems with the way the media is covering Bristol Palin and her large breasts…er, pregnancy. Her pregnancy.
“When I was 14 or 15,” Meghan, the eldest daughter of Republican presidential candidate John McCain and wife Cindy, told Today’s Meredith Vieira, “a reporter asked my father if I had been pregnant at 14, would he allow me to – how would he feel about me having an abortion. And my father said, it would be my own decision, and, obviously, that created controversy.”
Her own reaction at the time, she recalled, was “I just can remember being 14 and seeing ‘Meghan McCain Abortion’ on the [news] crawl on CNN – those words together.”
As for her reaction now, “I still think it’s inappropriate, and for me, obviously with everything that’s gone on with Bristol Palin, I just think privacy is privacy when it comes to family,” she said.
Contrasting her current position with Bristol Palin’s, McCain – an aspiring fashion designer who in 2004 registered as an independent and voted for Democrat John F. Kerry, she told the Los Angeles Times in February – declared, “In this setting, I have chosen to put myself out there. I write a blog. I am actively campaigning, so I am fair game.”
Conversely, she said, “A child of 14, 15, a 17-year-old person, who is not actively campaigning, I don’t feel is fair game.”
It’s true, it’s a totally different scenario. Meghan McCain has the good sense to take it on the face or the chest while Bristol Palin is like “NO YOU HOCKEY PLAYING STUD, I WANT IT ALL IN ME!!!! MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A TWINKIE!!!!” Pretty dignified for the daughter of a major national political figure, I’d say. Then Sarah Palin heard about this and was like “Where did you get this sort of behavior from?!?! ANSWER ME DAMMIT” and Bristol was like “I LEARNED IT FROM YOU!!!” and runs away crying. Then Sarah Palin knowingly winks to no one in particular and says “I know you did :)”. Aww yay for imagination!
