(The Onion)
NEW YORKOvercome with a swell of emotion while recalling the final words of Arizona senator John McCain, a tearful Meghan McCain opened up Thursday about how her late fathers dying wish was for her to be given her own daytime talk show.
My father was a genuine American hero, and its only right that we honor his departing wish of letting me anchor my own hit daytime talk show called Meghan In The Morning, said a visibly choked-up McCain, claiming that her father didnt spend five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam just for people to invoke his memory in ways that didnt further her television career whatsoever. Its hard not to get emotional when I remember how he held my hand on his deathbed and declared that I deserved to be number one in my time slot. He dreamed about seeing me, and me alone, interview the biggest names in Hollywood and Washington. Hes gone now, but if we honor his wishesas we shouldhis memory can live on between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. on a major network like ABC, or maybe CBS. Its what he wanted. McCain also revealed that her fathers dying words were, Dont accept anything less than a $15 million contract.

(53,764 posts)We're supposed to believe that? If so, McCain also asked that a couple of million be deposited into my bank account while they're granting her a show. And a pony too.

(28,787 posts)after the way she chastised Amy Klobuchar for telling a personal anecdote involving her father, considering the way she "milks it" all the time.
hopefully she's got a sense of humor and can take it in stride. it's small potatoes compared to other abuse she has endured i'm sure.

(5,722 posts)The View co-host Meghan McCain begged David Letterman to agree that late-night talk show hosts were unfair to conservative women like herself.
McCain was taken to task earlier this month by NBCs Seth Meyers, which prompted a Twitter meltdown by her husband and then another round of late-night mockery by HBOs John Oliver, and she asked the retired talk show host to take her side.

McCain asked whether conservative women like herself, for example might be treated unfairly by hosts like Meyers.
But just a question for me, as a conservative woman, going on a late night show is really no different than going on MSNBC anymore, so if you had, like, a conservative woman on, would you treat it in a more serious political tone? she asked.
you don't deserve a tv show..in fact you shouldn't even be on the view.
