On Tuesday’s “Imus in the Morning” on the Fox Business Network, McCain pledged her support to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and criticized both former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and Texas governor Rick Perry.
“I’ve been on team Romney for a year and a half, two years,” McCain said. “I think he’s the most qualified and I’m sick of personalities. I don’t need a rock star president and I never did, and I don’t care about celebrity. I think he’s the smartest, most capable and knows the most about the economy and can hopefully do something to fix our recession.”
“I’m sick of personalities.” What does that even mean? I’d call Miss McCain “dumb as a box of rocks,” but rocks would immediately sue me for defamation. And they would surely win.
McCain, who have never held a job that didn’t involve embarrassing herself and her family in public, would also have us know that both the former speaker of the House and a sitting 10-year governor of the nation’s second-largest state are unqualified to hold the office currently held by a one-term junior backbench senator who, like her, has never really held down a real job.
Romney’s competitors, though, didn’t fare so well — starting with Rick Perry’s campaign.
“I never bought into it,” she said. “I wrote a column and took a lot of heat for saying I thought he was basically completely unqualified — I think I was right then and right now.”
McCain says the Perry campaign isn’t a serious effort.
“He’s wasting everyone’s time,” she said. “It’s the same thing I think about Newt Gingrich: You’re wasting everybody’s time. This is obviously some kind of vanity project and I don’t think running for president should be a vanity project.”
Says the woman whose entire life is a vanity project.
Not that I would’ve voted for Romney, but this clinches it.
Keep Your Mitts Off the Nomination!
She must be a double agent for Newt and Perry
McCain says the Perry campaign isn’t a serious effort.
“He’s wasting everyone’s time,” she said. “It’s the same thing I think about Newt Gingrich”
Did she ever say that about her father, who really did waste everyone’s time in 2008?
Ms. McCain is “sick of personalities”. I, on the other hand, am sick of Meghan McCain and her father.
Attention Mitt: Birds of a feather flock together! Beware of the perception that you are also a turkey!
Wellllll good. After talking to thousands of Republicans who say they’d never vote for R-Obama-Ney, I was worried he’d get skunked.
One elderly life-time Republican in Houston told me last week that sh was considering voting for Obama if Romney gets the GOP nomination.
I know no conservative will vote for him, and I certainly won’t, but if he gets nominated, I’d probably vote in just congressional elections for real conservatives to keep Liberal Mitt the RINO in check. He’s just running in the wrong primary.
“Oh, he’s just, like, really cool? And he’s not all ‘Oh, I’m a rock star!” And I’m like, um, just tired of old conservatives who just, like, waste my time?”
Put a sock in it Meghan. The adults are trying to have a conversation here.
– loser like her father.
Hot damn! The daughter of the lord of RINOS throws all in with Mittens! Oh and even better Christine O’Donnell is all on board who took serious reprimand as a bad candidate by the over lords of the GOP. To tell the truth she was awful as a contestant. Is this her coming into the fold of the establishment GOP,or whats up with that? If Newt takes communion for his sins in philandering with the Leftist B.S. Global Warming Scam cleansing his soul he has my vote! H. Cain? Just tell me who or what he is really now? His Ammo locker is looking faulty sports fans. He is looking like Swiss Cheese by his own doing!
She’s doing nothing more than spouting the tired old party line. Like McCain in 2008, it’s Romney’s “turn” in 2012 if the GOPher leadership remains true to form.
Clearly, none of them has been paying attention.
Meanwhile, the Romney campaign is testing a new slogan: Waffles, not just for breakfast anymore.
But of course you can never ignore her so she will never go away. Funny how that works out, isn’t it?
I’m actually backing Romney myself, but I have to ask: if her father wasn’t wasting everyone’s time in 2008, what was he doing? He blew a couple grand of my money on his non-campaign.
What is it you have missed here,Romneycare Global Warming? These are all Progressive Big Socialist Scams that confirm the Ubber Totalitarian Ruling Class Masters who have him by the short hairs! Romney is the establishment pick! If you want what has made us great,and now vilified to be great once again it is our founding values! This is the key they must destroy.
She doesn’t care about celebrity? Why is she even in the press (much less on this page) except for the fact that she is the daughter of the last Establishment RINO that ran. She’s endorsing Romney because he reminds her so much of her dad.
Celebrity? You can thank God for it, Meghan, because otherwise you’ve got nothing.
How is it she’s still got a column? Do you think they keep her on because she works for free? (You can afford to do that on a trust fund – ask Medea Benjamin.)
Why’s she on Imus? I’d switch stations if she came on.
But the biggest mystery – why’s Bryan Preston writing about her on PJM?
No, no…why’s retlaw commenting? I guess it’s because I CAN’T STAND HER!
