Readers Tell McCain's Daughter to Lose Weight
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 03:44 PM by JI7
In a recent post, she strikes back (kindly) at readers who have sent in diet tips, or mentioned that she might consider shedding a few pounds. Seriously? People recommended she diet? A surgeon even looked to her as a potential client.

< I've been surprised by critical comments regarding my weight and body shape. It recently reached a ridiculous level when someone handed me a business card for a plastic surgeon and suggested I needed liposuction. I am proud of my curves and have always loved my fuller figure, as should every woman who is not a size "0". I want to be a positive role model for my little sister and all of the other young women who read my blog and help perpetuate a more positive image for women, regardless of their body size. I feel empowered to tell everyone that it's important to maintain a healthy weight that works for them - not everyone is going to be model thin, nor should they expect to be. To every young girl reading this blog, it is inner beauty and happiness that makes a person beautiful, not a number on a scale. >

the blonde one is McCain's daughter

20. They're both normal.
You don't need to tear down thin women to compliment "normal" ones.

Unfortunately, nothing is ever good enough for the critics of female form in our society. I've been told many times that I should eat more, never mind that I get a healthy 2000+ calories a day and am very happy with my size 2 body.

32. Yes, he did but that doesn't make going after his beautiful
daughter right. Here's what he said about Chelsea: "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?" McCain said at a GOP fund-raiser in Washington. "Because Janet Reno is her father." What an asshole -- I'd be so freaking ashamed if my parent said that about another kid!

33. i would be disgusted with parent too.... i think it says a lot about mccain that he felt
that joke was ok, especially seeing how he has daughters. regardless of apologizing, it wasnt a slip, he had to think it out saying that to an audience

boys by the fashion industry.

15. My God, she's enourmous
How does she bathe? Does she use a sponge on an end of a stick?

I can't believe that she leaves the house looking like that. Disgusting.

(Seriously, she needs a better hair style, but is cute).

This is truly bizarre. She is a beautiful young lady.

30. I'm with the majority here: she looks beautiful, and her weight
is none of our business. She looks healthy and happy. We should send her this thread.
