McCain's Daughter Aims To Be Next Wonkette

Women's Wear Daily:

Meghan McCain, daughter of presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, could be the next Wonkette by the 2008 election. Beginning today, the younger McCain will bring life on the campaign trail to the voter with her new blog, McCain Blogette. She revealed the endeavor at a private lunch Thursday for the McCains hosted by People managing editor Larry Hackett, which several People editors and Time Inc. executives Ann Moore, John Huey and Jim Kelly also attended. "We were basically loosely inspired by Hunter S. Thompson's 'Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail,' but for more of this generation," said Meghan, who will do the blog with her friend La-Toria Haven. She added the blog will include audio, video and text on "everything from really serious things like the debates and town halls to our suitcases when we get to the hotel and there's just crap absolutely everywhere." To those wondering if her 71-year-old father's adventures will move slower than a Florida recount, take note: "Anyone that talks about dad's age, I challenge you to come on the road with him. I've drank more Red Bull in the last two months than I have in my life," said Meghan, who graduated from Columbia University this spring. "I start off the morning with two."

If she would have any compassion she would be makring certain that Dad takes his Aricept on a regular basis.

I would much rather keep my Father's memory alive that push him into a job that he is far to old and unqualified for.

I don't think the Lady Ana has any worries.

What chance will McCain have against General Petraeus?




The Ambitious Delusions of George Bush and David Petraeus John Nichols
Thu Sep 13, 10:42 PM ET



The Nation -- We now learn that General David Petraeus fancies himself a Dwight Eisenhower for the 21st century.

According to a report in London's Independent newspaper by the reliable Middle East observer Patrick Cockburn, the U.S. military viceroy in Iraq would like very much to return from his mission and -- like the Supreme Commander of Allied forces in Europe during World War II and of North Atlantic Treaty Organization in its aftermath -- mount a bid for the White House.

Petraeus has apparently been so open in expressing his "long-term interest in running for the US presidency" that Sabah Khadim, a former senior adviser at Iraq's Interior Ministry who worked closely with the general in Baghdad, recalls, "I asked him if he was planning to run in 2008 and he said, 'No, that would be too soon'."

Such are the political calculations of the man whose embrace of President Bush's war has become so complete that he and his aides have radically altered the manner in which statistics are gathered on violence in Iraq in order to foster the fantasy that the fight has taken a turn for the better.

Which mother is Meghans? The first wife who McCain divored while she was in the hospital dying or the new rich, showcase wife?
