Meghan McCain On "The View": "Kiss My Fat Ass!" (VIDEO)

Meghan McCain sat down with the ladies of "The View" Monday, railing against Laura Ingraham's insult about her being "plus size," commenting on her parents' visit to the show last year and speaking about her father's feeling of vindication at Obama calling some fundamentals of the economy strong.

McCain, who said she'd never even heard of Ingraham before the "plus sized" comment, called it "terrible" and added, "When Tyra Banks went on her show in a bathing suit and said 'kiss my fat ass,' that's what I feel like. Kiss my fat ass!" McCain has blogged and Tweeted about the subject over the last week.

Asked by Sherri if her parents had been treated fairly when they were on the show last September, she hedged and said, "Obviously when you see the difference between my parents being on and President Obama and Michelle, I think it's obvious." But, she added, "I think we should move forward."

Elisabeth then asked if Senator McCain felt vindicated at having called the fundamentals of the economy strong during his campaign, only for President Obama to use similar language recently. "Yeah, I think so," Meghan responded. "It's ironic it's the exact language and the exact terms he used earlier. I am sure he does feel vindicated."

However, Obama did not use exactly the same language as his former rival. "If we are keeping focused on all the fundamentally sound aspects of our economy, all the outstanding companies, workers, all the innovation and dynamism in this economy, then we're going to get through this," Obama said last week. McCain simply stated that the "fundamentals of our economy are strong."

haha, I loved the final paragraph of this article, about the Republicans not getting the *fundamentals* of Obama's comment. So typical. Meghan is feeling "vindicated" about nothing, in effect.

May I ask.........who cares?? I mean really! Why not 'vindicate' herself with some class?? I don't get it. If she were my daughter, I would be sitting her down and teaching her how to have some manners. What she is saying is OK between friends and family but to go on national TV and get rehashing old news is just not very worthwhile. Doesn't she have anything new to talk about??

I can't believe McCain would go on The View with that mess. It is so vulgar what she said. If a Democrat had said that, they would be trashed.

McCain is making a public spectacle of herself.

You have got to be kidding . This is by far the stupidest thing I have ever had the displeasure of reading. If it was a Democrat the bare butt would be exposed and all the girls on the view, (except Elizebeth) would be smooching it .
Wow you must be swimming in the Kool-Aid.
Holy Cow if it was a Democrat-

This girl is a phony just like her father. She is working for the GOP. Coming across as moderate, just like her father did, (to try to con the American people into voting for him).

Well little miss thing, is doing a con job like her daddy did. She's working for the GOP to attract voters to the GOP, BUT IT WON'T WORK MEGHAN!

Not that Miss McCain is one of my favs, but I wished she hadn't acted in such a manner as this on the View.
Thought she had more class than that. M.Mc. is only lowering herself to Miss Inghram's stature and falling for Laura Ingraham's bait. For Meghan's sake, she had better grow up quickly.

Hmmmmm, Meghan really does talk like a "Valley Girl" I must admit.

Obama continues to give Republicans WAY too much intellectual credit. Of COURSE they are jumping all over this statement.....Obama used the terms "fundamentally", "sound" and "economy" in the same sentence.....

Obama needs to learn his lesson and stop assuming that Republicans comprehend what they read.

Now that's just the sort of intelligent dialogue we've come to expect from the radical left-wing fringe.

what, are you expecting some leftist to quote Cheney's "go f*** yourself" comment? Spare the indignation.

One thing is for sure....if ever I heard the Repug philosophy spelled out it is in those 4 words..."Kiss my fat ass"........NO.

hahaha, both the blonde chicks are using the untrue fox news report (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/17/fox-news-apologizes-for-m_n_175906.html) which they later came on and said was untrue. No only was it untrue, they took a video out of context and time, and now both of them are saying the Obama administration is saying the fundamentals are strong?? Damn I'm pist

Good for her! When did being fat, skinny, shapely, or shapes had to do with anything?

Why does she fee the need to go on television to defend herself. She is so full of herself, just like her mother Cindy. And she learned her con skills from her daddy.

Given that this story has many of the hallmarks of irrelevancy (The View, women’s obsession with their weight, not one, not two, but three conservative blondes), I probably shouldn’t waste time being bothered by it. But I am. Here is the offending passage: “[Meghan] McCain has blogged and Tweeted about the subject [of her ‘fat ass’] over the last week.”

I don’t give a fat McCain’s ass about McCain’s fat ass, but I can not abide “blogged and Tweeted”! Besides sounding ridiculous, blogging and tweeting are just forms writing. When Paul Krugman produces content about the economy, one doesn’t read “Krugman typed, dictated, and hand-printed text about the subject this week.” One reads “Krugman wrote about the subject this week.”

We need to get over the idea that the medium is the message. McLuhan meant that the medium can not be separated from the message.

I have a bit of a different take on that. I was under the assumption that "the media is the message" meant that the media of the message affects how the message is percieved.

I like your interpretation though. Gives me something to think about.
