I’m declaring Meghan McCain tweeterrific…if that’s even a word.

I don’t know if Meghan McCain is really that stupid, self-involved, or if her whole media strategy is based on starting fights with people more famous (with good reason, typically) than her, but here we go again with her completely missing the point:

IN WHICH I APPARENTLY MAKE MEGHAN MCCAIN ANGRY…. I had an item yesterday noting that Dick Cheney’s remarks on gay marriage may have a role in the party’s debate over gay rights. I added what seemed like a pretty uncontroversial idea — while Meghan McCain and Steve Schmidt were other Republicans of note who’ve taken progressive views on the issue, Dick Cheney has far greater influence.

Apparently, this has angered Meghan McCain in some way. She’s added at least four tweets complaining about my observation. In the order in which they were posted:

# Hey Washington Monthly, so it’s only important to speak out for marriage equality if your an old man?

# so I guess young women should just stfu and be seen and not heard Washington Monthly….? Only Dick Cheney should speak out…?

# I wonder if the Washington Monthly thinks if all women or minorities speak out it is “almost meaningless” – apparently only Cheney matters

# I guarantee you if one of my brothers were doing what I am doing right now the Washington Monthly would think it had meaning.

This is what I wrote that prompted these tweets: “It was pretty meaningless to hear Meghan McCain urge her Republican Party to come around on gay marriage. It seemed a bit more important when Steve Schmidt, John McCain’s campaign manager, gave the GOP the same advice. But in terms of influence in Republican politics, Dick Cheney is on another level.”

I haven’t the foggiest idea why this seems so outrageous to McCain, so perhaps I should clarify the point further…..

Based on an 18-word sentence in a blog post, Meghan McCain has concluded that I only respect old white guys, I don’t respect young women, and I’m somehow hostile to minorities. I still don’t really know how she came to these conclusions, but I’m pleased to report she’s mistaken.

Let me clarify to Steve Benan, it’s not you, it’s her. Meghan McCain thinks that she is specialand the whole world loves her because the MSM loves her. She thinks that she is special and the Republican Party should base everything they say, do and think on what Meghan McCain says they should say, do and think. Unfortunately for her, what the Republican Party is supposed to stand for is the antithesis of what Meghan McCain purports to stand for–from what I can discern from her nonsensical ramblings.

In her tiny little mind, she cannot grasp how you could think that she doesn’t have the power to change “her” Republican Party (when are people going to stop referring to it as “her” party?). In her tiny little mind, she simply cannot grasp how anyone could think, never mind dare write in an article, that any person’s opinion is more important, or might simply (obviously?) have more influence, than hers. In her tiny little mind she cannot grasp how anyone could suggest that “None of McCain’s sons or daughters, regardless of age or gender, are influential in shaping conservative attitudes right now.” I really don’t think she realizes that the only reason people listen to her is because of whose daughter she is, not because of her life experiences, intelligent insights, or her inside knowledge of politics gained through her personal political connections. She’s Meghan McCain, b*tch!

Meghan McCain is quickly beginning to remind me of those horrible singers you see on American Idol in the first couple of episodes. Like those bad singers’ friends and family should do them the courtesy of saving them the embarrassment of singing on national TV, Meghan’s friends and family should do her the courtesy of saving her from the embarrassment of tweeting, writing, or speaking in public. Every time something new comes out of her it puts her ignorance and youth (my apologies to the youth of America) on display for everyone to see. Other people her age should shut her up to save themselves some face.

What is most disheartening to me is that instead of engaging in a dialogue or stating her opinion she tweets a classic liberal attack on the article. She can’t honestly and logically state why she thinks that her opinion is or, at the very least, should be considered equal to and as important as the former VICE PRESIDENT of the United States and connected leader of the Republican Party. Instead she took cheap shots by suggesting that the author only respects old white guys, doesn’t respect young women, and is somehow hostile to minorities. As if I needed anymore evidence to support my theory that she’s a pathetic liberal who lacks any real intelligence and will do anything to satisfy her craving for attention.
