In Defense of Meghan McCain

In case you haven’t heard, daughter of former Republican presidential candidate John McCain and new media darling Meghan McCain posted a “spontaneous” photo to her Twitter account yesterday. She was promptly e-harassed by a gaggle of conservative dimwits who thought the photo was inappropriate.

Boobs.

Now, I’m not sure what is inappropriate here. Honestly, I see worse in most web page advertisements (even on non-porn sites!). Meghan McCain only got flack because she’s a Republican. Which is understandable, I guess. All Republicans should get flack for being Republican.

But these hypocrites and prude hypocrites calling her a whore for posting posting a picture to the internet in her pajamas need to seriously shut the fuck up. Women have boobs, and they are awesome.

Now, I probably would never have heard of this story if it weren’t for one thing: her reaction. Any normal person would have ignored the insults. I mean, it’s the internet. Everyone is expected to be a stupid asshole online. She made the mistake of taking the criticism personally, and threw a very public tantrum, as illustrated below.

Shut the fuck up, seriously. You’re not helping yourself.

She drew more attention to herself by responding than the original picture would have warranted. Now the story is popping up all over the place, include my stupid blog. If she hadn’t responded, the story would probably have been buried by now.
