Meghan McCain To Lawrence O’Donnell: Michelle Bachmann Is “Poor Man’s Sarah Palin”

Video
» 71 comments

Meghan McCain had “The Last Word” on Lawrence O’Donnell‘s show this evening and did not hold back her feelings regarding Michele Bachmann and her reaction to last night’s State of the Union address.

When questioned by O’Donnell about her thoughts on Bachmann’s address-of-the-address and how what she said tied into McCain’s longstanding criticism of divisive rhetoric – both between parties and within the GOP itself – McCain dismissed Bachmann as being “no better than a poor man’s Sarah Palin.” She then called her “one rogue woman,” which was, really, a rather interesting word choice.

So there you have it, naysayers and critics. Bachmann was addressing a specific impoverished man during her speech last night. She gives and she gives and you all just take and take and mock.

    There’s no infighting. No one on the Republican side thinks of Meghan as on the Republican side. And if you’d like this proven, head on over to Hotair and check out any post including Meghan. She’s not exactly someone we embrace….for very clear reasons.

    A true McCain, selling out both party and principle for the contrived adulation of the left-wing media.

    Who cares what Meghan McCain thinks on any subject? It’s like who gives a rats ass what I think. What the $uck has Meghan McCain accomplished in her life to be able to give a credible opinion to the masses on anything. You just as well ask the “Stars”, (and I use that term loosely) of Jersey Shore their political opinions. Who cares!

    http://bsimmons.wordpress.com/2010/05/23/secrets-exposed-the-book-game-change-reveals-unprofessional-personal-behavior-of-mccain/

    Meghan McCain always behaves childishly and psychotically because she has a very unhappy childhood and dysfunctional family.

    According to the book Game Change by renowned national author, Meghan McCain’s parents engage in extra-marital affair, her daddy likes to use profanities against her mum to the extent of verbally abusing her, her mum has suffered numerous mental breakdown. An example :

    - “F*** YOU! F***, F***, f***, f***, f***, f***, f***, f***, f***, f***, f***!!!”McCain let out the stream of sharp epithets, both middle fingers raised and extended, barking in his wife’s face. He was angry; she had interrupted him. Cindy burst into tears, but, really, she should have been used to it by now.” (p. 279-280)

    Worse, Meghan McCain’s daddy has oftenly used obscenities and vulgarities against her to the extent of constantly verbally abusing her, blaming and trashing her for all his poltical setbacks. An example:

    - “At a scheduling meeting to discuss Meghan’s graduation, McCain learned that the commencement was a multiday affair that would require him to make several round trips to New York. “How many f***ing times to I have to go to f***ing New York this week?” he yelled. “How many f***ing times can you f***ing graduate from f***ing Columbia?” (p. 283)”

    Troubled children like Meghan McCain who have been constantly abused by her parents are suffering the deep mental scars. That’s why Meghan is behaving as she is today. An act of rebellion and revenge against her troubled parents and the society.

    If Michelle Bachmann is the poor man’s Sarah Palin, what does that make Meghan McCain? Bachmann looks like Einstein and Madame Curie put together compared to this sad example of nepotism at its worst.

    Q. How can you tell if a conservative is ignorant, wishy-washy, and completely incapable of formulating a coherent argument?
    A. If they are invited as a guest on MSNBC. The hosts on that network are scared to debate anyone with an IQ about 72.

    Geez, in reading through the posts one realizes that if it weren’t for invectives progressives would have virtually no arguments at all!

    btw, for you “principled” libs, how many innocent people did Obama’s Drones kill this week?
    Remember the outrage from the left when they were Bush’s drones?

    How do you spell: H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y?

    Hmm, really? She sounded a lot smarter than you from what I can tell… but I guess intelligence is relative to you republicans.

    It’s gotta be hard living in a world where you don’t know the meaning of words… such as ‘intelligence’… or ‘Shoe’

  • emancipate yourself from mental slavery

    this applies to so many of the talking heads; not necessarily limited to just one side…….or the other
    yet, especially appropriate for Ms. McCain

    “Criticism is necessary and useful; it is often indispensable; but it can never take the place of action, or be even a poor substitute for it. The function of the mere critic is of very subordinate usefulness. It is the doer of deeds who actually counts in the battle for life, and not the man who looks on and says how the fight ought to be fought, without himself sharing the stress and the danger.”

    Meghan McCain is a poor man’s Liz Cheney.

    And both are Julian Lennons of hack-politics, unable to carry the jocks of their lying, unprincipled, opportunistic jerk parents who, like their counterparts in the Democratic Party, sell out the People and the Constitution to line their pockets and their cronies’ pockets.

    The whole lot makes me want to vomit. If you want anything to change, Google ‘Libertarian.’

  • Scrapette Jones

    I’m not going to get into the MeggieMac name-calling, just suffice it to say that I think she is completely wrong on this. But, I have read her book, it was a good read, and she does have an excellent point about the GOP needing to get younger members and be more inclusive and tolerant. She’s pretty honest and open about being a “daughter of” and nothing more, and in her book even pretty much alludes to not being on the Palin bandwagon from the get-go because she was not included in the decision-making…and honestly admits that’s pretty diva-ish. I do like her, though. I think she’s a breath of fresh air, even though I disagree with her about 50% of the time. (And FWIW, I like Palin and Bachmann as well).

    If not for Meghan, we would never have had the best book review ever.

    It is important to know that I was repeatedly tempted just to put the book down, eat the relatively small price I paid to download it to my Kindle, and silently curse Hyperion for publishing this book. After all, they are the ones taking advantage of this particular idiot’s fifteen minutes of fame by exposing her idiocy for the entire world to see. By all appearances, they didn’t even have the decency to hire someone to edit the book – more on that later.

  • The Real Royal King

    I think Ms. McCain needs to back off a bit. While I greatly enjoy the angst she causes to my rightist friends, it is important that the faces of the Republican party be the highly made-up faces of Sarah and Mad Michelle.

    What a surprise. The left uses and loves the “republican” that they can get to attack other republicans. Why haven’t I EVER seen a liberal who attacks other liberals? Megan is about the only women on the right at gets any respect from the left too. Gee, I wonder why?

    In your myopic little world, in which you see very little, are our President and Harry Reid liberals? Are Bernie Sanders and Anthony Weiner liberals? Is Keith Olbermann a liberal? Joe Scaborough? Hillary Clinton? Chris Dodd?

    Yes, and Meghan is really just another liberal-lite – she really stands for nothing except being against conservatives. If she wasn’t McCain’s kid, she wouldn’t be anywhere near being in the media.

    She’s just being used and Socialist Lawrence O’Donnell must be cracking up inside.

    I’m as liberal as it gets, but if Meghan McCain every decides to run for office, she’ll have my support. I never see her back down when her opinion isn’t popular with the Republican Party, and I haven’t seen her make a wrong move yet. I hope she realizes that the criticism of her would be a lot harsher if her father wasn’t powerful in the party. If she can develop the necessary thick skin and the ability to stick to her guns (so to speak), she’d be a welcome addition to either party.

    She’d be a welcome addition? Speak for yourself. Which means you don’t get to speak for the GOP. When I say John Stossel would be a welcome addition to either party, I suppose you’d agree?!

    The war in the GOP that Meghan decries is a HEALTHY thing. There should be a lot more of it. The war is between the constituents (who are sick of being sold out and having the Constitution trashed) and political establishment hacks who continue to sell out the People. Sellouts like Meghan’s jerk father.

    She shares the same condescending “be nice, let us smile and compromise while we all get paid and you all get the shaft” mentality of so many sellouts before her. No notion of principle. No notion of LITERALLY FOLLOWING THE WORDS OF THE CONSTITUTION. No notion of making the GOVERNMENT OBEY its contractual agreement with the People. I suppose no one is more aptly positioned for such a despicable attitude but the nepotism-beneficiary of an establishment party crook.

  • wayback

    Meghan McCain is a publicity seeking twit with way too much bleach damage to her tiny brain. She appears on shows as a commentator but usually is just be used by the left to show her dimwitted mind. She feels massively inferior to Palin, Bachmann and other political woman. She is dumber than a bag of rocks and John McCain and his wife should be very embarassed to let her speak at all. Anyone who listens to her mindless babble needs to worry about theie own intelligence.
    If Bachman is a poor’s man’s Palin- McCain is a poor man’s Snookie. A total loser.
