I’ve been busy lately, but…
Why does Meghan McCain think anyone wants to hear what she has to say? Just being the daughter of a nationally-recognized politician doesn’t necessarily give your political opinions any more weight than anything I say in this little blog. And no one pays me.
Even worse, she contradicts herself: …I am not trying to be a pundit… Seriously? Than what do you call blogging for the Daily Beast and making speaking appearances at universities or any place that will pay you a fee?
How about this interesting juxtaposition of viewpoints:
The daughter of Sen. John McCain—who’s also a blogger and columnist at The Daily Beast–has been a vocal supporter of some issues not typically backed by the right (especially gay marriage), which has made her a media target. Addressing this point, she asked the crowd of college students: “Where the hell did the notion of free speech go?”
Well, she’s absolutely right. The problem is, the quote above follows this one:
She then went after Rush Limbaugh and Keith Olbermann. McCain said both of them are ruining the political process by killing people’s desire to become involved, according to the Hatchet.
“Please, Keiths and Rushes of the world, pipe down,” McCain said.
I see. Rush and Keith have to shut up, but you’re allowed to say whatever you like. Maybe someone needs to tell this airhead that free speech is fine, but there is no constitutional right to be heard.
OK, enough. I’ve added far to many italics to this post already.
