Meghan McCain is, like, totally a genius

A profile of the would-be first daughter manages to be both ingratiating and condescending.

    You make a good point

    DTerry. Despite calling it's audience stupid, however, I think the piece made some good points about the portrayal of McCain. And I should clarify that the Republican party promotes docility in the massess of women, not the figurehead battleaxes who are its mouthpieces.

    I certainly don't think everyone is defensive if they don't agree with the piece. But accusing the author of attacking young women who like lipgloss and then insulting Clinton supporters sounds childish and defensive to me.
