Meghan McCain: "Joe the Plumber -- You Can Quote Me -- Is A Dumbass"

In an interview with OUT magazine, Meghan McCain spoke freely on her support for gay marriage -- and her dislike of some conservative mouthpieces.

Unprompted, McCain rails against the man her father's presidential campaign touted as an American everyman and made a showpiece in the weeks before the election. "Joe the Plumber -- you can quote me -- is a dumbass. He should stick to plumbing."

McCain also said she'd "be flattered to be considered the anti-Ann Coulter, the anti-Rush Limbaugh."

Author James Kirchick added in a blog post that there's still one controversial campaign figure McCain won't discuss:

Interestingly, while McCain is more than happy to bash the man whom her father celebrated for weeks on end, the one part of the campaign McCain will not talk about is Sarah Palin.

Y'all betta hersh now. Sarah is naming Joe as her running mate for 2012.

[ywcachieve]

Where is Liz Cheney, another GOP phony daughter?

[ywcachieve]

The GOP is giving you guys a snow job with this one girl......I can just see all you patsy's falling all over yourselves to vote for this girl for some office, and she pulls a bait and switch on ya....bwahahahahaha

[WinceCarter]

The Dems always seem so grateful for any crumb of agreement or affection from a Rethuglican.
It's a sad state of affairs.

[KillgoreTrout43]

That's because it is so extremely rare.

[ggaston706]

Hooray for Meghan… finally someone from the old McCain Presidental Campaign is talking straight. Ms. McCain is absolutely right about this ‘holier than thou’ Neanderthal. His fifteen minutes of fame are long up and he should just step off the stage.

[WinceCarter]

JTP looks like he's "horny" in the above pic.

[Sunnyhorse]

And she looks like she's gritting her teeth.

Joe the Plumber would love to get his hands on Meghan McCain who is nothing more than a Columbia educated, trust fund baby, daughter of a senator and a multi-millionaire beer distributor heiress.

[citizensrus]

There are some on these message boards who haven't learned : Never, never, trust a Republican.
This includes Meghan McCain.

[Schmice]

Yup.

[janeInCA]

Agreed. Just like SP said she would campaign for Democrats. You betcha, thanks but no thanks.

[ywcachieve]

I hear ya. I don't trust this girl.
If she was so truthful and brave, she would be calling out, SarahPalin, Liz Cheney and others. But she picks on the guy who she thinks is safe to pick only. She is a phony.

[SC341]

Meghan McCain will never have to work a day in her life. She lives the life 99.99% of the American people can only dream of. Her "job" is blogging for the Daily Beast and giving interviews on TV talk shows, etc.

[ywcachieve]

citizen...Dems are so gullible. This girl is rightwing all the way.

[WinceCarter]

But she likes the Yeah Yeah Yeahs!

[nk007]

I think it is wrong to lump all Republicans together. I know many Republicans who are trustworthy and open minded.

[WinceCarter]

"I know many Republicans who are trustworthy and open minded."

So do I. I also have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale if you're interested.

The GOP, demented by rage and pain, begins to devour itself.

[jackbutler5555]

Democrats really, really like Republicans who slam their party's luminaries. And, of course, Republicans really, really like Blue Dogs who attack their party. All of which leads me to wonder if bipartisanship is doable.

[motolove]

Joe the Plumber is a GOP luminary?

[jackbutler5555]

Luminaries are famous persons. Joe/Sam isn't famous?

How refreshing. A Republican who thinks for herself, and tells the truth as she sees it. Hope she doesn't get jaded.

[Schmice]

Refreshing, yes. Unfortunately she's not all that smart on many other things.

[twilight druid]

What Meghan said is painfully obvious except to a small percent of the population even dumber than this guy.

[lunchlady]

Go Meghan! There might be hope for Young Republicans after all, but I suspect she isn't quite the norm, sadly.
Where will Joe pop us next? Will be a featured speaker at another big GOP strategy conference? How much will he report on his 1040 next year?

[flyovercountry1]

John McCain must be so proud of his daughter....I haven't heard her utter a conservative phrase since she has risen to prominence as the "republican insider". Please Meghan your act as a double-agent has worn thin. We don't need celebutants on the conservative side. Go ahead and join up with the other quasi-celeb liberal activists and plant a tree or something.

[Mike Barden]

Maybe she should run for President?

[Schmice]

Another Sara Palin.

[Zen0469]

The leering J. the P. in the picture appears to be suggesting a salacious adventure to sweet young Meghan.
