Will Meghan McCain’s Cleavage Cause Her To Leave Twitter?

mccainblogette_twitpic_warhol One of the best Twitter feeds in the Twitterverse is in jeopardy. Last night, Meghan McCain announced that she might be quitting Twitter, but that she would sleep on it first. This was in response to a barrage of attacks on her by offended tweeps. What did Meg do that was so awful?

She posted the most awesome picture ever of an Andy Warhol book, although I suppose the particular offense doesn’t matter much. For quite awhile, Meghan has been a lightning rod for Twitter trolls, and as she puts it, “…what once was fun now just seems like a vessel for harassment.”

Fellow Tweeps like Jake Tapper and Hot Air’s Allahpundit offered words of support for Meghan. As Jake pointed out, trolls are a vast minority on Twitter. The internet cloak of anonymity that often emboldens the jerks of the internet is mitigated significantly on Twitter by the “block” button, and by Twitter’s emphasis on building a persona. A Twitter identity is not nearly as disposable as a username at some internet forum.

On the other hand, the few trolls do tend to stick out. One of the great things about Twitter is its egalitarianism. Famous people and civilians are on fairly equal footing, with no velvet rope separating them. Everybody knows it only takes one idiot to ruin a party.

There will be those who say that people in the public eye should expect this sort of thing, but on Twitter, as Courtney Love and Miley Cyrus have shown, they don’t have to stick around to put up with it.

Twitter’s setup is rather ingenious at self-policing, and Meghan McCain is a very popular presence on Twitter. It seems likely that, if Meg hangs in there, her troll problem will eventually solve itself.

The picture is not that big of a deal.

I think she just learned for the first time what an incredible cesspool the internet is. Just you look /b/, you really start to learn the dark side of humanity.

The photo is not a big deal at all. In fact, it is mild compared to what the cable news networks put on daily.

Another example of selective “morality’ from the folks that hide behind screen names.

she’s young, she’s hot, she’s got it, and she knew she was flauntin’ it. No harm no foul. She is a beautiful girl. Her problem is she didn’t think about all the basement dwellers that get off on this kind of stuff. She knew she looked great, which she does – but as we all have learned, you put anything out on the net, you get anonymous psychos from all walks of life who will criticize.

Frankly, if I were still as young as Megan, I would put down the twitter, and live life in the flesh.

It can be a cruel virtual world. ;O)

Meghan McCain’s l5 minutes was up about 2 years ago but she refuses to leave the stage. This Bimbo is a foul mouthed “porn-star look-alike” who is trying to represent the Republican party. She’s a vulgar joke and her father should try to rein her in. Meghan, just GO AWAY!!

There’s so much to question in Sunnyr’s post… I’m not sure where to begin!

How is she refusing to leave the stage, the tweet went out to her “fans”?
Why is she “foul mouthed?”
What makes her a “porn-star look-alike?”
Why is she a “vulgar joke?”
How can a father “rein in” their adult daughter?

And if you don’t like reading stories about her… try not reading stories about her. That’s a great way for her to “go away.”

Yet another reasonable Republican the far right has buried because she’s trying to reach out to moderates and young people…

You will be missed.

The real Twits in all of this are Tommy, Allah Pundit, and Jake Tapper. Losers all for being so obsessed with such a bubblehead. You’d think there might be more important things in the world to cover.

Nothing wrong with a little boobage. Oh wait does this go against the Conservative values? If so then shame on you Megan (while taking right clicking and saving the pic)

Where would the political community and twitter be without the words and wisdom of Meghan “Jessica Simpson” McCain.

She is the Jessica Simpson of politics (although she can get lose the weight she just keeps getting bigger). How could the world survive without her insight?! What would happen to the gay/lesbian and transgendered community without her constant tweeting about them?!

How would we keep up with all the new tats this tramp gets or her constant updates about her BFF Tila Tequila?!

We’d also miss out on what Church she is going to this week and how devoted she is right before she talks about constant SEX LIFE. Interesting churches she goes to. Guess they leave out alot of books of the Bible where she attends.

I’ll answer some of I’mNotBlues questions:

How is she refusing to leave the stage, the tweet went out to her “fans”?>.
Tweets are available for anyone to view. Not just “fans”. Her tweets are ‘locked”

Why is she “foul mouthed?”>
I don’t know why she speaks the way she does. But probably the way she was brought up. Her dad and mom have a filthy mouth at times. She was uses the F bomb and other words last night in her tweets.

What makes her a “porn-star look-alike?”>
Because she claimed she just dresses in tanks etc around the room. B.S. You know as well as I do, her boobs are cinched up all the way popping out like a pair of cantelope sized porn star breast implants. I doubt she hangs out in her bedroom all the time with a bra on like that. She was obviously doing it for the picture and her lies about it ring hollow.

Why is she a “vulgar joke?”>>
Once again, you’d have to keep up with her comments to know, but more importantly she is an intellectual joke. She’s on Jessica Simpsons IQ level.

How can a father “rein in” their adult daughter?>
Very easily. Do you really think she gets paid enough by the Daily Beast (to trash Republicans) to live the lifestyle she does? She only recently started doing paid speaking engagements. If you don’t think that she is still living on beer money then . . . take away that (will maybe they should have said mom “rein” her in since she’s the real $ person in the family).

She is so stupid she does not understand why people dislike her. She is a tremendous example of the privilege that the idiot children of the rich receive

Alright… thanks for answering, Captain. I don’t know much about Ms. McCain… and I’m not sure I agree with your critique of her either. But, I also don’t think this story is important… not even a little bit… so I’m going to move on.

I’d hit it.
