Over-Inflated Megan McCain Flap



First of all: wow, I'd forgotten how much fun stuff there is to blog about.

Now, about this Megan McCain humongous hooters hype. Should I admit that I had to think a moment before I recalled who she is--I actually thought of frozen french fries first: was she the frozen french fry heiress? Nope, she's the daughter of Senator John Methuselah McCain, and apparently a "right wing firebrand" and blogger, despite being a mere (can this be right) 24 years old. That means her dad must have been a ripe old 86 or 87 when she was born--way to go, Senator.

Regardless of how old she is, Ms. McCain seems to be in trouble for posting a photo, in which here "yikes"-sized breasts are featured prominently, though not obscenely, on her Twitter feed. Big deal. It must have been a really, really slow day for folks to get all worked up over a pair of outlandish outriggers. We're all connected to the interweb, right? I've googled up Yogi the Bear and seen worse than this. Indeed, I looked at Ms. McCain's blog and found something much more appaalling: she'd cited "Stairway to Heaven" as song of the day. Ug. Never-the-less, aside from looking about as solid as Sarah Palin's chances in 2012, I don't get the controversy. I thought it was all about nipples? No nipple, no problem.

Conservatives confuse me. McCain seems decent enough, if a little vapid, and she certainly seems more humane than most republicans. Who cares if she doesn't wear turtlenecks around the apartment--if she did, would there be complaints that they were too tight?* These folks should be desperate for any young, vital, and socially relevant voice, regardless of cup size. Is it McCain's fault that she's a big girl? She looks healthy. Rush Limbaugh doesn't look nearly so healthy, and his breasts are even bigger than McCain's--so, enough with the double standard.

*I'm wearing a turtleneck right now.
