Meghan McCain's twitpic

Best opinion: The Frisky, The Other McCain, Wizbang Pop, CNN

"Meghan McCain is threatening to pull a Miley Cyrus and quit Twitter!" said Jessica Wakeman in The Frisky. "Meanie commenters got a little too vicious with the senator’s daughter after she posted a Twitpic" showing her holding a book and wearing a tank top that revealed major cleavage. After a flood of rude comments, McCain tweeted, "So I took a fun picture not thinking anything about what I was wearing, but apparently anything other than a pantsuit and I am a slut."

It is "absurd" for McCain to be playing the victim card, said Robert Stacy McCain in The Other McCain. She is "heiress to a fortune and the daughter of a powerful U.S. senator. She is also spoiled rotten and arrogant, lecturing the world at Tina Brown's Daily Beast without any more qualification than her family name and an Ivy League diploma." If she occasionally has to take some criticism, too bad.

It's amazing that she's getting grief over this, said Kevin Aylward in Wizbang Pop! This is a photo of a young woman relaxing at home, nothing more. "Count us among the silent, non-offended majority!"

Before finishing a night of rapid-fire tweeting, said CNN's Politicalticker blog, Meghan McCain promised to sleep on it before doing anything as drastic as deleting her Twitter account. But she did get something out of the controversy—with all eyes on her, the 24-year-old who tweets as McCainblogette signed off for the night with a plug for her latest column at The Daily Beast.

Posted by John, Thursday, October 15, 2009, 12:26 pm This is all BS, her dad is the senator not her. Frankly I don't see anything wrong with the picture. She's an attractive woman with great cleavage. If anything we should be sending accolades for letting us see that she is just as normal as most folks.

Posted by Melissa, Thursday, October 15, 2009, 12:59 pm Talk about the right wing coming back to bite you in boob! She is a young, beautiful girl, let her flaunt it, this is America for God's sakes. How dare she forget to put her burka on before tweeting, guess you'll teach her, holy rolling Republicans!

Posted by Dave, Thursday, October 15, 2009, 1:18 pm NOTHING OFFENSIE THERE AT ALL... are there really that many uptight, tragically provincial people with nothing else to do but criticize for that photo? How sad for them.

Posted by jennifer, Thursday, October 15, 2009, 1:33 pm really? this is news? did anyone bother to read the other week story wherein economic institutions are gearing up to hand out record bonuses while minimum wage is being cut? and we give a shit about how much cleavage some chick is showing online? i think the sadder commentary here is on newsworthy priorities rather than scandalous twitter pics of Dlist celebritards!

Posted by Richard, Friday, October 16, 2009, 1:15 am She is indeed, NOT the senator! She's a beautiful gal, the friggin media has WAY to much time on their hands. It just proves to all Of America that all they really know how to do is.....take cheap punches at people who make them green with envy!
