20 minutes into the new season of 'The View' and Meghan McCain is already in a snit

A snit over guns. And it's a full blown self pitying snit, too. Even her buddy, Abby Huntsman, is on the other side of the issue.

I have to admit I was REALLY disappointed to see Meghan walk out on that stage, this morning.

Today she had to make a point of referring to her hiatus activities (hunting and fishing in Wyoming) as the kind of 'red neck' stuff people would expect of her.

So, right from the get-go she was setting herself up for one of her classic pity party behaviors.

The only hunters that I actually somewhat respect are subsistence hunters and I'm sure Meghan isn't just subsisting.

I also don't understand people who just shoot, for fun. I've had to fire a gun just twice, in my life. Both times were required by my military service. I found having that kind of destructive power, in my hands, to be absolutely terrifying. I couldn't wait to get out of, and far away from, that building. The tear gassing exercise we had to go though, in basic training, was less stressful to endure.

inherit that Senate seat that once belonged to her father, but knows she can't possibly do it without the help of every last Trumpanzee in Arizona.

Let's see if she pulls her usual rude and disrespectful act, towards Democratic candidates, on him.

Beyond the blatant misogyny that is pervasive, many/most of them hated her Father.

play weeks of repeat episodes in the summertime? I clicked on one day last week and was startled to see an old episode that seemed out of place for a "topical" talk show...? How long do they do that?

9. Isn't that her job? To be in a snit?

Somebody has to do it, I guess.

I never watch. From what I read here, there would be no need.

Other members of the panel fact-check her, real time, which really sets her self-pity party into high gear.

I'm really not sure why she re-signed her contract.

I generally enjoy the rest of the panel's contributions. They are funny and pretty sharp. Meghan is way out of her depth.
