Meghan McCain To Write Children's Book

NEW YORK — Meghan McCain, daughter of the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee, is working on a picture book about her father, Sen. John McCain.

Meghan McCain's children's story, currently untitled, will be published by Simon & Schuster the first week of September, around the time of the Republican national convention.

"I am truly excited about the opportunity to write a children's book about my father, who is not only a fantastic dad, but also a great American," McCain, known for her blog, McCain Blogette, , said in a statement issued Wednesday by her publisher. http://www.mccainblogette.com

"This book will offer children the unique opportunity to see the character building events that happened over his lifetime, experiences that led up to his current bid to become the future president of the United States."

Financial terms for the book were not disclosed. Simon & Schuster said that a portion of its net proceeds would be donated to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which helps wounded veterans and military personnel. Meghan McCain has no current plans to make a similar contribution, according to Simon & Schuster spokesman Paul Crichton.

John McCain's wife, Cindy McCain, had agreed earlier this year to write a memoir for Penguin Group (USA), but she changed her mind, citing time limitations, and the deal was canceled.

ohh a children's book? i can't wait for her eventual line of handbags.

A children's book?

And it'll still have to be dumbed down so the republican base can read and understand it.

The picture in the front makes her look like that evil girl from Little House on the Prairie who was a spoiled brat and her mom was a bi+ch and she grew up and married Zeldahmo. : D

[MyThought]

She should wash all the over-done makeup off - try to look a little wholesome if you're writing a kiddies book.

She looks like an over bleached tart.

McCain's adopted black daughter, Bridget, is now 16 years old, but we never see her photo anywhere. Nor is she ever seen on TV with her dad or mom.
Also, she's never pictured or mentioned on Meghan McCain's famous online "blogette."
Are they ashamed of this adopted daughter because she's black? Do they feel she's a hindrance to Republicans.
Ironically, she was used to smear McCain in 2000, when the "swiftboaters" claimed she was McCain's illegitimate daughter.

So, you think all the candidates should use their children as political tools. Like little puppets?

Bridget is not black. Her parents are protecting her privacy, she is a teenager who does not need to be tore up by the media or Obamas always "kind-hearted" supporters.

Actually, there is a picture of Bridget on blogette.

Gonavy, Bridget was adopted from Bangladesh. And please give me a break! Her parents are not "protecting" her. Puh-lease! They are embarrassed because she is not a stepford wife looking bleach blonde princess, not to mention literary genius, like the other one. She is short and dark, and it would just be best for all if she was kept in a closet somewhere until the election is over.

OK, I am now officially fed up with people who are already famous using their fame to take shortcuts to opportunities they have not earned. There are so many talented writers in America. Who needs a book by John McCain's spawn? After she finishes having someone write that book for her, maybe she can join Billy Bob Thornton's crappy rock band. Or sing backup for Scarlett Johannson. Or maybe she should just go on a book-signing tour with Madonna. No wonder this country is so cynical. Hard work and talent will get you nowhere. But if you're famous for flashing your butt on YouTube you can get a film deal. And if you popped out of a famous uterus, you must be a genius!

I suppose Bill Gates was just a lazy no talent hack who just happed to luck out with his whole Microsoft thingy?

[1099]

That's the way the world works and it aint gonna change. Get used to it.

[GQTaste]

damn, she was born in '84. She's ten years younger than I am. Her daddy is 47 yrs older than her.

[GQTaste]

How old is she? She looks really young.

What is it with politician's spouses and children writing all these children's books (Mrs. Cheney comes to mind)? I want to publish a children's book, guess I need to marry a politician first.

[thepoliticalcat]

Where's MC's black daughter? The blondes have been plastered all over the paper, but the little black girl appears to have been buried? I want to see her!

[Colmore]

Hidden away with the lobbyist, Vicki Iseman. She has been among the missing, also. Maybe we should start calling Cindy McCain John's "baby momma".

[TurgidCaterwauling]

Always amazed at how gifted and talented these children of presidents and presidential candidates are.

[cjo30080]

Maybe some of McCain's reporter-friends can give her some writing advice at the next BBQ.

[jake666]

Is it about her daddy?

[Eric8869]

Hope it's better than THE PET GOAT
