Meghan kept motor mouthing her view of what losers Nancy Pelosi, and the Democrats are, but Kirsten just plowed on through to make her very fine point, and Meghan clammed up. Finally.
So, Cheers, Kirsten! You've done what many have attempted, and failed to do.

(8,954 posts)Her father's wishes pre-empted her own political tendencies, apparently baked in.

(26,177 posts)Watching her desperately peering out at the audience, hoping for some validation from someone, ANYONE, is hilarious. Every once in a while someone will applaud and she absolutely beams.
I seriously can't figure out why she's not still over at Fox.

(46,016 posts)I don't care who the woman is, using the B word is sexist. There are lots of good insults that don't refer to her sex.

(11,936 posts)I will never stop using the word bitch where it applies. Neither will most of the liberal women in my life. And none of us will ever be sexist no matter how much the extreme word policers wanna call us that. I don't give a shit what they think.

(26,060 posts)I don't take advice from people who are looking for things to whine and be offended about. I'm firmly in Bill Maher's camp on the whole political correctness running amok train.

(67,782 posts)...how she deftly all but said "STFU" to McCain.

(101,714 posts)Why the hell hasn't she instilled this is Meghan? (and no, I'm certainly not a Cindy McCain fan, but compared to Meghan? hell, yes)
Siwsan
(26,177 posts)He sounds like a real piece of work. Perhaps it is 'true love', but perhaps she's just a rung in the ladder he's planning on climbing into politics.
She is like so many Repug women who think they have to prove their worth to their man by becoming even more extreme right wing.
Tom Rivers
(459 posts)Spoiled and entitled little brat whose entire career has been built off of her family name and connections, and also a go-to for the media to put out a "moderate, sane" republican because... she doesn't completely hate gay people?
The next time she provides thoughtful insight will be a first for her.

Siwsan
(26,177 posts)Actually, she's a LOT like trump*. She blathers out repeated opinionated nonsense and won't listen to anyone else's input without taking offense. For some reason, she seems to think that gives her some sort of credibility

(6,993 posts)the most conservative so she has to be louder and more obnoxious.
Siwsan
(26,177 posts)She's trying to tread some sort of middle line - although she isn't very successful, most of the time. But she isn't a defensive, shrill nutter, like McCain.
