Judas Priest! Meghan McCain has NO clue as to what 'legacy admissions' to universities means

[Siwsan]

She just got all bent out of shape because Joy brought up the unfairness of legacy admissions to colleges and universities. So, because Meghan ALWAYS has to take affront to something, she interpreted this as a slam against her family's military legacy!?!?!

Hopefully, during the break, they explained the difference between family legacy and legacy admissions.

She really needs to consider putting her BA in Art History to use, somewhere NOT on television.

1. You coulda stopped with

"Meghan McCain has NO clue."

[Sherman A1]

2. Yup

That is about the size of it.

3. I was thinking about admission to military academies earlier today.

The easiest way to get into a military academy is for your parents/grand parents to make donations to their U.S. Senators and Representatives.

4. Yes yes and yes.

Know first hand how that works. It is all about who you know or who you are related to.

And folks wonder why there are so many assault issues at our Military Academies.

10. Or wonder why McCain had 7 houses

14. McCain's Family was

and is a 1%er family. BTW,Cindy McCain's wealth is measured in the billions.

Lots of money to be made in Arizona politics .

5. I wondered if that's where she was going, but......

then she went into a (paraphrasing) 'Generations of my family have served in the military. It's our family legacy.' line of speech. It became so obvious she was conflating the two meanings of one word. And that's not to say the only way her dad got into the academy was by virtue of being the son and grandson of Admirals. As I recall, he finished pretty close to the bottom of his class.

Meghan really does spend a whole lot of energy looking for things by which to be offended. It's pretty funny, in a pathetic way.

6. What does Judas Priest have to do with this?

[Siwsan]

7. HAHA!!!

I probably started using that term, before I ever heard of the band!

8. Meghan went to Columbia

she proves on the show everyday how much she deserved to be there based on merit.

9. Someone should explain what a legacy celebrity is

[Siwsan]

11. Great point!!

[llmart]

12. Hmm..can we also talk about "journalists" who get jobs with TV networks because of their parents?

I'm talking about her and Jenna Bush. Tell me either one of them deserves to be called on a TV show where they can spout their opinions?

[Siwsan]

13. Add Abby Huntsman to that list

I noticed, the other day, when Meghan was "out sick", Abby became unusually mouthy and aggressive. She was venting about an AOC quote she had taken COMPLETELY out of context by selectively isolating one brief segment from the complete statement. When she was called on it, she just refused to back down. It was as if she felt she had to fill in for Motor Mouth McCain by engaging her mouth without also engaging her ears.

15. Not at all surprising
