While I'm not a big fan of Kirsten Gillibrand, I sure applaud her shutting down Meghan McCain!

[Siwsan]

Meghan kept motor mouthing her view of what losers Nancy Pelosi, and the Democrats are, but Kirsten just plowed on through to make her very fine point, and Meghan clammed up. Finally.

So, Cheers, Kirsten! You've done what many have attempted, and failed to do.

1. So Megan has reverted back to her old self

despite her speech at her father's funeral, which caused many to believe she'd seen the light. Apparently she hasn't.

[Siwsan]

4. Oh yea- she most certainly has.

She is back to her pontificating, over talking ways. She and Joy had another kerfluffle, last week.

[Zambero]

6. A one-time event

Her father's wishes pre-empted her own political tendencies, apparently baked in.

[samnsara]

2. and i got yelled at for calling meghan the b word...

[Siwsan]

8. Meghan always seems to be trying to 'prove' herself.

Watching her desperately peering out at the audience, hoping for some validation from someone, ANYONE, is hilarious. Every once in a while someone will applaud and she absolutely beams.

I seriously can't figure out why she's not still over at Fox.

12. For good reason

I don't care who the woman is, using the B word is sexist. There are lots of good insults that don't refer to her sex.

[leftynyc]

16. Meanwhile I never see anyone whining

when a man is called a prick. It's just a freaking word with zero historical issues.

[phleshdef]

18. There are true feminists and then there are the word police wannabes who have nothing better to do.

I will never stop using the word bitch where it applies. Neither will most of the liberal women in my life. And none of us will ever be sexist no matter how much the extreme word policers wanna call us that. I don't give a shit what they think.

[leftynyc]

19. Same here

I don't take advice from people who are looking for things to whine and be offended about. I'm firmly in Bill Maher's camp on the whole political correctness running amok train.

[George II]

3. Ditto, and ditto. She's good, but not my favorite. But I was just discussing with my wife...

...how she deftly all but said "STFU" to McCain.

[Siwsan]

5. That was sure her non-verbal response to Meghan!

It was a thing of beauty.

[hlthe2b]

7. I truly believe that her mother, Cindy has some grace and sufficient integrity to never act this way

Why the hell hasn't she instilled this is Meghan? (and no, I'm certainly not a Cindy McCain fan, but compared to Meghan? hell, yes)

[Siwsan]

9. I think she's gotten worse, since hooking up with her, now, husband

He sounds like a real piece of work. Perhaps it is 'true love', but perhaps she's just a rung in the ladder he's planning on climbing into politics.

[bdjhawk]

17. This exactly

She is like so many Repug women who think they have to prove their worth to their man by becoming even more extreme right wing.

[Tom Rivers]

10. Meghan is the image that shows up in the dictionary next to the term "trust-fund baby"

Spoiled and entitled little brat whose entire career has been built off of her family name and connections, and also a go-to for the media to put out a "moderate, sane" republican because... she doesn't completely hate gay people?

The next time she provides thoughtful insight will be a first for her.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Right With Ya, Tom

Nailed it. A bubble headed silverspoon that thinks she has something to say because her dad was big heat.

[Siwsan]

14. She has a degree in Art History, but she thinks she's some sort of political savant

Actually, she's a LOT like trump*. She blathers out repeated opinionated nonsense and won't listen to anyone else's input without taking offense. For some reason, she seems to think that gives her some sort of credibility

[kacekwl]

13. She's competing with Huntsman for

the most conservative so she has to be louder and more obnoxious.

[Siwsan]

15. At least Abby isn't obnoxious, IMHO

She's trying to tread some sort of middle line - although she isn't very successful, most of the time. But she isn't a defensive, shrill nutter, like McCain.
