Meghan McCain, Sarah Palin, and Michele Bachmann

Meghan McCain seems to have a problem with conservative women.

She has repeatedly slammed Sarah Palin.

In February 2010, Meghan McCain, brilliant political analyst, was on The View. True to form, McCain attacked Palin and the Tea Party movement.

She also went on the attack during an interview with FOX News Sunday.

Here's another example of Meghan McCain blasting Sarah Palin--

On September 7, 2010, she was a guest on the Tonight Show. She talked about her relationship with Sarah Palin during the 2008 presidential campaign. She said she didn't get along with her at all.

Watch the interview.

A couple of months later, Jay Leno had Meghan McCain on his show to discuss the midterm elections.

On the Tonight Show, November 3, 2010, she mocked Christine O'Donnell, Sharron Angle, Sarah Palin, and the Tea Party.

Some of McCain's remarks on Christine O'Donnell:


MEGHAN McCAIN: I was never a fan of Christine O'Donnell because I think again it belittles all the great people that run for office. Um, and, you know, she's out of her fricking mind, so I'm glad she's not in the Senate, you know?

JAY LENO: She will actually have to get a job now.

McCAIN: I know. She's actually gonna have to work. And you know, it's, I don't know how you have a job...

LENO: Maybe something in the fast food industry?

McCAIN: Yeah, or maybe continue your anti-masturbation platform. That was sure popular, little lady.

Some of McCain's comments on Sarah Palin and her daughter, Bristol:

LENO: I thought this was interesting. Bristol Palin said today she didn't vote. I mean, if you didn't vote, don't tell people that.

McCAIN: Yeah, I mean, if you didn't vote in my family that was like bad news. I've been voting since I turned eighteen. I guess it's only important to Bristol Palin to vote for Dancing with the Stars. I don't know. I think a lot of women worked really hard to give us the right to vote and I think it's, anyone that doesn't vote, it's just ridiculous.

LENO: I agree. Now, I think Sarah Palin called them... what did she call them? 'corrupt bastards.'

McCAIN: Yeah.

LENO: She called the media 'corrupt bastards.' But isn't she sort of part of the media now or no?

McCAIN: Yeah, she's a FOX correspondent which is, you know, part of the media. So, I guess, I don't know if she's calling herself a corrupt bastard. I think it's a strange comment. I have no idea. I think that there's a symbiotic relationship between politicians and the media, and both just can't reject each other.

LENO: Do you think she will run in 2012?

McCAIN: Oh, yeah. Hell, yeah.

LENO: You think she will?

McCAIN: Oh, yeah. She's getting that ready right now. Of course. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

LENO: See, I don't know. I think to me, you can sorta, she seems to like to make money, so she can give speeches. once you saying you're running, you can't make that $100,000 talking to his group.

McCAIN: One thing I know about it is it's an addiction. Running for president is an addiction, and that's not going away. That girl is running for president.

Watch the interview.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I don't think McCain's views carry special weight. What are her qualifications as an analyst?

Of course, the Leftists like to give her a forum because she's a Republican who attacks conservatives.

No one ever asks McCain why her opinions of Sarah Palin have changed so dramatically since 2008.

When
Meghan McCain was Leno's guest on September 17, 2008, she said she loved Sarah Palin.

"I love Sarah Palin. She's awesome."

According to her recent interviews, that was a lie.

Last night, Meghan McCain had Michele Bachmann in her crosshairs. (DISCLAIMER: That's a metaphor.)


She appeared on Left-wing extremist Lawrence O'Donnell's MSNBC program. Naturally, the radical O'Donnell was receptive to McCain's criticism of Bachmann.

From the New York Daily News:

Meghan McCain took aim at Rep. Michele Bachmann's State of the Union rebuttal on Wednesday night, insisting the Minnesota congresswoman is "a poor man's Sarah Palin."

The 26-year-old Daily Beast columnist and daughter of former GOP presidential nominee John McCain, made the cutting remarks when MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell asked what she thought of the "second response to the speech."

...O'Donnell agreed with McCain that "there were these different people who are just using their platforms to their own personal advantage rather than thinking about what it means for the party."

"I think it's important to note that Michele Bachmann is not a leader," said McCain. "She is not a leader of the Republican Party. Michele Bachmann in my opinion is no better than a poor man's Sarah Palin."

CNN was the only cable network to air Bachmann's rebuttal live, which McCain said the network should be "ashamed" about.

McCain has previously criticized Palin, who ran on the same ticket as her father during his presidential campaign in 2008. In her book, McCain writes that Palin, also a Tea Party darling, brought "drama, stress, complications, panic and loads of uncertainty" throughout her father's bid for the White House.

According to McCain, Bachmann too is also bringing drama and stress.

"It is one rogue woman that can't even look into the camera directly," said McCain, referring to Bachman, who spoke into the wrong camera during her rebuttal on Tuesday night.

"I take none of it seriously, and I think if the Tea Party wants to put a candidate up to give a response, why don't they have someone like Rand Paul, who was elected on the Tea Party platform, give that."

Here's some video, via Breitbart:



Good grief.

McCain touts the quality of MSNBC's journalism?

Of course, O'Donnell eats up McCain's bashing of Bachmann and the Tea Party. He loves to highlight her attacks on conservatives.

In terms of "bringing drama and stress," I think Meghan McCain and her enablers are doing their best to be divisive and damage the Republican Party.

Here's the complete interview.
