OK, Meghan, if I can’t call you slut, how about WHORE? More press means more money, right?
So, not having much to write today and trying to, perhaps, distance myself from the assault I launched on Meghan McCain, yesterday, I stopped over at Memeorandum to see what other people were talking about. Unfortunately for me, and for Megan for that matter, the first thread I see is Megan McCain, again, talking about how she’s not a slut and happy with her weight. Could she just STFU already? You think this girl would learn. Actually, she’s a moron. Maybe it’s impossible for her to learn.
If I gave Meghan McCain a dollar for every time she misses a point I would be homeless and she would be richer than Donald Trump:
On Wednesday, I posted a hastily taken self-portrait on Twitter—which I thought was funny and silly—and within a few hours I had caused a minor media scandal. I spent most of the next day thinking about what exactly was so shocking about the picture, why there was such an immediate and nasty overreaction. After all, it’s not like I was caught making a sex tape. I certainly didn’t pose nude for Playboy. And I hadn’t even exposed a nipple.
So why all this Sturm und Drang?
Could it be it’s because I have breasts? Because for those of you who didn’t know, I have two. They’re larger than some women’s and not as big as others. I don’t usually show off my cleavage—as I did in the photos I posted—which I will admit is not the smartest thing I have ever done. But it’s just not worth the drama it caused.
To be honest, I don’t feel that I have anything to feel ashamed of. I’ve always embraced my curves and will continue to do so.
To be honest, I don’t feel that I have anything to feel ashamed of. I’ve always embraced my curves and will continue to do so. I’d rather be the size I am than a skinny model fired for being too fat. And once again, a day after writing about my weight, it’s the media that have a problem with my body.
For years I have struggled to accept the fact that the way I look in a tank top comes off more “sexual” than a flat-chested woman. And once again I was reassured by the media that someone with my cup size should always be covered up. Or what, I’ll be seen as a slut? It’s pathetic we can come so far in so many ways, but when Rep. Aaron Schock or Rep. Jeff Flake post pictures of themselves without their suits on—and their shirts, for that matter—they are proclaimed “hotties.” But put me in a tank top and I am suddenly an embarrassment to the Republican Party and women everywhere. The double standard is infuriating.
As those of you who follow me on Twitter know, I live my life very openly. I will happily tell you what I’m doing every minute of every day. I will tell you what songs I’m listening to, what movies I’ve seen, and what books I’ve read. (That’s Arthur Danto’s new biography of Andy Warhol in the photo, by the way.) I love reading other people’s Tweets to me.
It’s amazing what you can learn. And I’ve certainly endured my share of harsh comments from those who follow me. But yesterday was the first time it really wasn’t fun. It’s not easy to be called a slut. But I’m not giving up my Twitter just yet—I’m just going to be more judicious in how I use it. At the end of the day, I am a work in progress. I am not perfect and have never given anyone the assumption that I am. I turn 25 next week and I am still adjusting to the glare of the spotlight and making mistakes.
This is the last time I’ll ever address this non-scandal but at the very least I hope other girls can learn from this episode before they post any kind of photo online. I know I have learned a valuable lesson about the Internet and the boundaries between personal and public use with social media.
I just wanted to get that off my chest.
Meghan, we all know that you’re one step away from a sex tape being released and the only reason you haven’t posed for Playboy is because the women in Playboy a) have more self-respect than you do, and b) are actually hot. If Hugh Heffner made the offer, you would jump on that quicker than a fat chick could clear a buffet, but Hugh Heffner would never make the offer. And, I wasn’t calling you fat, but even if I were you would be OK with that, right? Because you love your curves, right?
Yes, everyone reacted the way they did because you have breasts. That’s exactly it. How did you figure that one out, sweetheart? Is that how your daddy explained it to you? Did mommy just tell you they all must be jealous? I don’t know if I’ve ever seen someone more clueless than you or if I just think you’re the most oblivious person walking the planet because you find a new way to announce it at least once a week (and, this week more than once). Either way, I have yet to see your stupidity matched.
It’s not about you having breasts or being a “Republican.” It’s not about you wearing a tank top. Originally it was about that piggish, disgusting pic you posted. Now, for me at least, it’s about your lie that the photo was intended to be funny and not your idea of sexy and your moral indignation against those who attacked you. If you want to be Pam Anderson then you need to embrace it like you claim to embrace your curves. We know what you did and why you did it. Please, help yourself and stop complaining. I’m sick of your faked outrage, and if it’s not faked that just means you’re even dumber than I thought, which I am hoping is unpossible.
Now, look, I don’t know if you’re a slut or not. But, with the new burden of proof being that someone just needs to believe something is true in order for it to be true, I’m going to go with you’re a slut. I will reiterate my theory I posted yesterday. I think that you slut yourself out to men, thinking that makes you the epitome of the confidant modern woman, when all it does is show you for the insecure woman you obviously are, so desperate for attention that you’ll let any man use you as a Dumpster. Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps not. I can’t be sure, but this is what I believe.
You’re a spoiled brat with no talent and no brain. All you have going for you is your breasts and your famous father and if you lost weight you would probably lose the breasts and your dad is pretty old, so you’re really running out of assets, pretty quickly.
I can only imagine that the only reason you got in and graduated from Columbia University is because of who your father is. If I were on the board of trustees I would repo your degree because you are an embarrassment to that school. You can’t write or make a logical argument. As far as I can tell, you suck at life (and, from what I hear, that’s not all you suck at!).
I’m glad that you have decided to finally shut your mouth on the issue. This was probably just another sad attempt at attention. You’ve already sold out the party you claim as your own, you attacked Ann Coulter, and you’ve feuded with Laura Ingraham. And, once you were done attacking the Republicans, you ripped off Tyra Banks (another brainless narcissist) with your “kiss my fat a**” declaration on The View and tried to compare yourself to Jessica Simpson (who, by the way, is way hotter than you no matter how much weight she packs on).
This is the best thing you have ever written:
This is the last time I’ll ever address this non-scandal but at the very least I hope other girls can learn from this episode before they post any kind of photo online. I know I have learned a valuable lesson about the Internet and the boundaries between personal and public use with social media.
I just wanted to get that off my chest.
And, not because it’s good writing–that last line is not cute or clever–but because you claim this is the last time you’ll bring up this “non-scandal.” It could only have been better if you promised this was the last time you would ever blog, twitter, or show your face in public.
I can’t believe a week away from your 25th birthday you’re just learning “this valuable lesson about the Internet and the boundaries between personal and public use with social media.” Can you save us all the trouble and just wear one of those “I’m with stupid” T-shirts with the arrow pointing to yourself?
Oh, and by the way, you don’t usually show off your cleavage? I would say that might have been true when your dad was still a viable candidate for the presidency (well, I don’t think he was ever actually a viable candidate), but since we all know daddy has gone as far as he’ll go in his career, looks like you decided to bust those puppies out:
Now, honey, I don’t even have a problem with that, or your picture, it’s your childish whining about the public’s reaction, your blaming the media for your insecurities and poor choices, and your empty declarations that you don’t care what people think because I think that you do care what people think. You care what everyone thinks. For that, and only that, do I feel sorry for you because someone so consumed with what the world thinks can never think for themselves or ever truly be happy, but maybe you don’t deserve happiness. More likely, your too dumb to even know what real happiness is.

It’s probably a good time for her to stop getting this off her chest now about the issue. Given enough time, the jokes will die off.
The book, more easily seen in the lighter version of the photo, is probably key. She, perhaps, thought that posing that way was imitative of Warhol’s hangers-on. A joke. Retro-hip, for those who think Warhol had some significant effect on art, and not just pretension, in the ’60s.
I really don’t think anybody cares about whether she wears tanktops and sweat pants around the house. Some people aren’t just buying that she usually wears tanktops with a push-up bra.
Of course, my sister had a neighbor who cut the grass all the time wearing speedos, so you never know.

Somebody close to Meggie Mac really needs to reign her in before she makes an even greater fool of her herself. Honestly, she’s not that bright, she has nothing profound to say, and the more she puts herself out in public spouting her laughably shallow worldview the worse it gets.
