McCain to Ingraham: "kiss my fat ass"

[Anima]

John McCain’s daughter Meghan has a message for conservative talk-show host Laura Ingraham: “Kiss my fat ass.”

Last week, Ingraham mocked McCain on her radio show after the daughter of former GOP presidential nominee John McCain urged Republicans to seek compromise with Democrats. Ingraham called McCain “a Valley Girl gone awry” and a “plus-sized model.”

McCain, who writes about politics and her personal life for The Daily Beast, went on The View on Monday to fight back.

“What do young women think when I speak my mind about politics and I want to have a political discussion about the ideological future of the Republican Party, and the answer is, ‘She’s fat, she shouldn’t have an opinion.’ What kind of message are we sending young women?” she asked.

“It infuriates me,” she said. “I’m a political writer on a blog, and all of a sudden I’m too fat to write?”

The View’s conservative co-host, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, called Ingraham’s remarks “a low blow.”

McCain said she felt like Tyra Banks when the model “went on her show in her bathing suit and said, ‘Kiss my fat ass.’”

“That’s what I feel right now,” McCain said. “I’m like, ‘Kiss my fat ass!’”

I'm glad she came out and said this, McCain is a smart, articulate young women and her ideas shouldn't be judged on the basis of her weight. Of course since Ingraham got pwned on national television she's going to come out and say something like "I was just kidding..." blah blah blah.

I didn't think I could respect John McCain any less after the election but here we are, five months later, and he has managed to make me lose even more respect for him by basically throwing his own daughter under the bus.

From what I read he didn't throw her under the bus at all. He merely stated that on some issues they agree and some they disagree. Most of the conclusions were drawn from the person writing the blog or whatever it is. If you "lost even more respect" for John McCain over this, I don't even think I want to know what caused you to originally lose respect for him.

His daughter was picked on by a national radio personality and instead of defending her he said "like any family we agree on some things and disagree on others." If it was my daughter I would be defending her, not publicly saying that I disagree with her.
