Meghan McCain
I am SO surprised that the media hasn't sunken its teeth into Meghan McCain yet, because she is totally asking for it. She is the 23-year-old daughter of John McCain, and from what I gather, she isn't exactly the perfectly behaved possible first daughter you would expect her to be.
First of all, she swears like a sailor, even when someone is interviewing her. If my dad were running for president and I spoke like that, I would probably get locked in a closet until I learned how to speak properly, as to not tarnish my father's image. But apparently, she doesn't care about that.
I'm not bashing John McCain. I actually really like him. But I have a feeling that his daughter is going to get him some bad media attention in the future.
In this interview with GQ magazine, Meghan says things such as, "I have a pretty dirty mouth, normally...I love swearing. Whatever."
Great. I'm glad you went to Columbia University and might live in the White House and this is what you show for it, Meghan. Please try to sound a bit more intelligent next time.
In the picture that goes along with the interview, she is seen sitting on her bed holding a Bud Light. I don't have a problem with the girl drinking, but if you are photographed in a high-profile magazine posed holding a beer, it can only mean that you are a bit of a party girl.
Not to mention her physical appearance: blonde, nice features, well versed in fashion...the paparazzi will love her.
Meghan also keeps a blog about following her dad's campaign trail. It has cute pictures which include John McCain grilling hamburgers and the McCain family inside their private jet. I have to respect her light-hearted approach to the situation she's in. She appears to be the same as any other American 20-something with wealthy parents.
Another thing I respect about her is that her point of view is totally independent from that of her father's. Meghan voted for John Kerry in the 2004 election and considers herself as "An Independent. Socially liberal, economically conservative."
She's not afraid to hold back from how she feels about something, whereas many people in her position would probably have rehearsed answers ready for any question they could ever possibly be asked. "Not everybody wants to go out with somebody so high-profile," Meghan says about her dating situation. "If they do, they're investment bankers. Seriously. Ugh! If you're an investment banker, don't hit on me. You can quote me. I'm not interested."
"They see blond hair and they see makeup, and automatically I am whatever their blond stereotype is," Meghan says in this interview with the LA Times. She has started to gather a following of girls who admire her ability to be stylish and girly while still caring about politics.
Gotta love it. I can't wait to see what Meghan McCain is up to at this time next year.
