Meghan McCain, daughter of John, has managed to extend her fame into a 16th minute by antagonizing the likes of Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham, the latter of which retorted that Ms. McCain was “too plus-sized to be a cast member on the television show The Real World.”
McCain then sent out a Twitter alert: “To all the curvy girls out there, don’t let anyone make you feel bad about your body. I love my curves and you should love yours too” and went “The View” to tell Ingraham to, “Kiss my fat ass.” Nice.
McCain’s stance against the ad hominem is dead-on:
Why, after all this time and all the progress feminists have made, is weight still such an issue? And in Laura’s case, why in the world would a woman raise it? Today, taking shots at a woman’s weight has become one of the last frontiers in socially accepted prejudice.
Beyond that — and I’ll be delicate here seeing as how I’m married and McCain was born a few months after I graduated high school — Meghan McCain is, um, not fat and, er, not particularly bad to look at.
