New York Observer:
John McCain's 24-year-old daughter Meghan has a book deal! Sources say Hyperion has prevailed over at least three other publishers in an auction that began earlier this week, following a round of meetings during which the in-your-face young conservative and the literary agent she shares with her father, Sterling Lord Literistic president Flip Brophy, discussed a number of possible approaches to the book with editors around town.

She's using the same renegade/maverick formula that her daddy has exploited for a couple decades. The liberal media will happily oblige and focus on anything negative she has to say about conservatives. She'll make some bucks and the likes of Stewart and Colbert will smirk. What a country.
what makes her qualified to write a book
A ghost writer???
Does anyone care what she would have to say? Well, I suppose if you are interested in passing gossip, but why would anyone waste their time reading trivia? Ah, I nearly forgot the authority on the matter, P.T. Barnum, who observed that "No one ever lost money on underestimating the taste of the American public."
Megan McCain has about as much to write about as Miley Cryus does in her autobiography. At least little "Hannah Montana" actually works her bu tt off.
Happy for her!
If she has some pictures with her scantily clad. I'll buy the book.
Who buys that stuff? What happened to Non-Joe the Non-Plumber's book deal? He could team up with Ann "Black Death" Coulter.

And speaking of Ann Coulter, what is the Dr. Phil facination with such a mean hateful excuse of a human being? Wonder how many book he has helped her sell?
Dr. Phil
Another repug barbie with a book deal. The literary event of the year. Excuse me while I throw up.
Hot news! The tittle of the book is "How My Father Failed....
Altzeimers requires a book?
Well, there's another book I'll never buy or read, along with Joe the non-Plumber's, Condi's, Shrub's, Rove's, or Perino's.
She is a pretty young lady.
My cousin's ex-brother-in-law's next door neighbor's former college room mate's dog once pooped on John McCain's lawn. Where's my book deal?!
You should have a movie deal too!
And why is she getting this deal when she has not made any important contributions to society?
She got the book deal TO make her contribution. Cut her some slack. She may be what the Right needs just now.
A Phony like her Dad?
I'm eagerly awaiting that "contribut
Just what the world needs, another book by a functionally illiterate fool.
The girl is educated and, you know what, jeff, one cannot hide it, nor reveal it when they don't have it! I'm just sayin'...b
I've had the severe displeasure to hear her speak and she's not the brainiac you're making her out to be. She's just another airhead from a generation (of which I am regrettably a part) that is completely at a loss when substantive, useful knowledge is needed.
Some of you complaining about Meghan McCain getting this book deal are the same ones that were so quick to defend her when she was called fat by Ann Coulter and airhead by Laura Ingrham. At least be consistent in the outrage. For myself I don't like the fact someone who has very little to say of interest and importance is going to make a million dollars for being the daughter of a mommy and daddy who themselves are multi-mult
Thinking that someone doesn't deserve to be called fat is quite a different matter from thinking that she has anything of value to say in a book. She may be a nicer person than than Coulter and Ingraham, but apart from that she sounds woefully ignorant, spouting right-wing talking points with the best of them.
She IS chunky.,
The two are not mutually exclusive. Meghan is a pretty girl who seems to be fairly intelligent and was unfairly attacked by that h a g Ingraham. And, perhaps in a few years she may prove to be an asset to the party, but it is highly unlikely that she has much yet to say. Book sales will show that one way or another.
BTW I do not think that Coulter ever weighed in (pun intended!) on Meghan's comments.
