Meghan McCain Finds GOP Race ‘So Lame,’ Says ‘No Bullsh*t’ Chris Christie Would Be Good VP Pick

Never one to shy away from expressing her opinions, Meghan McCain made clear that she’s underwhelmed by this Republican primary race. In a Playboy interview, she said the primaries have been “lame” — and added that Republicans may be able to salvage their general election prospects with a strong vice presidential candidate.

Asked about her dubbing this year’s race as “the shitty sequel” to 2008, McCain responded, “Can you argue with that? It’s just been so lame — so many debates, so much blather, so much oversaturation.”

Acknowledging her father’s 2008 run, she added, “Granted, my father is not running, so I’m biased, and we have an incumbent president, which changes things. But where’s the electricity? You’d think someone would rise up and tap the frustration and energy of the Occupy movement or the Tea Party, but it just hasn’t happened yet.”

What the party needs, she said, is someone who will “excite younger people, independents, Hispanic voters and the disenfranchised.” Chris Christie is one person who can do that, she said. If he’s “the vice presidential nominee we can change the weather and have a very good chance of beating Obama.” Not surprisingly, McCain loves “that he’s no bullshit.”

Elsewhere in the interview, McCain defended her right to comment on politics: “I’ve been in politics literally my entire life. My mom was pregnant with me at the 1984 Republican convention. I was on my father’s campaign when I was 13. I’ve earned the right to be here and talk about it.” Other topics included politicians’ sex scandals, her obsession with Hunter S. Thompson and her affinity for going out and “having a little Jack and Coke.”
