Have you heard about the political squabbling going on between Meghan McCain (John’s daughter), and Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham? This is the verbal battle going on in the media right now, which escalated to Ingraham’s regression into the fourth grade, by slamming McCain about her weight issues.
Here’s the background: Meghan McCain is a political blogger who considers herself Republican like her dad. It started with her blogging criticism about fellow Republican, Ann Coulter’s political style and hard, off putting approach.
This caused Republican, Laura Ingraham, to discredit McCain as a ”Valley Girl gone awry” and “a plus-sized model.” There is nothing wrong with trying to make the point that she thinks that the beautiful, yet heavy, 24 year old McCain, is not knowledgeable about which she speaks about, but what’s up with bringing her weight and looks into the mix? I’ll tell you what’s up: Ingraham must not have gotten the memo that in order to be a Fit After Thirty Hotty you don’t slam other women on their weight. (Perhaps Ingraham isn’t bothered by not getting to be a part of our club. Go figure).
Ingraham’s slam may have been a well thought out ploy to fuel controversy and get ratings, or perhaps she was just being herself, and had no clue that it would put McCain’s PR train on the fast tracks, speeding its way right over to the set of The View where she dished about it with the controversy-loving, yet sympathetic, ladies of that show. (If you’re on a speed train looking for the fastest tracks to get your message from point A to point B, well that’s the show you want to be on!) And McCain did just that, by sending the message to women that they should not be made to feel little because of weight issues, and by telling Ingraham to “kiss my fat ass!” Choo Choo! You go, girl!









I can’t believe someone would even address her weight. This is exactly why there is so many problems today because instead of celebrating each other or having a political conversation they call names. So upsetting.
