The other day Meghan McCain, who’s famous for being John McCain’s daughter and going on TV because she’s the daughter of John McCain, posted the following picture on Twitter:
Not sure if the Warhol thing is supposed to be a commentary on her level of fame. But then, this is the 10th time I’ve looked at this pic in the last hour, and I only just noticed she’s holding a book.
Judging by her Twitter feed, this stunning display of intellectual heft did not produce the desired reaction:
How is Ms. McCain able to contain those things in such thin skin?
Now, branding her a slut is uncalled for, of course. And I certainly don’t want to discourage her from showing off her inheritance. But if you’re a public figure and you make your figure so public, you shouldn’t be surprised when a few people act like boobs.
Particularly when you do tend to go on about your own. Here are a few examples from the last few months of Meghan’s Twitter feed:
Here’s the pic with the priests she was talking about:
So she knows that whenever her two greatest assets appear in public, even when they’re fully covered up, people make rude comments. And then she’s shocked by the rude comments when she posts a pic of herself in a push-up bra with enough cleavage to lose a presidential campaign in.
At least she got a column out of it. A Daily Beast column, that is:
Don’t Call Me a Slut
by Meghan McCainOn Wednesday, I posted a hastily taken self-portrait on Twitter—which I thought was funny and silly—and within a few hours I had caused a minor media scandal. I spent most of the next day thinking about what exactly was so shocking about the picture, why there was such an immediate and nasty overreaction. After all, it’s not like I was caught making a sex tape. I certainly didn’t pose nude for Playboy. And I hadn’t even exposed a nipple.
So why all this Sturm und Drang?
Could it be it’s because I have breasts? Because for those of you who didn’t know, I have two. They’re larger than some women’s and not as big as others. I don’t usually show off my cleavage—as I did in the photos I posted—which I will admit is not the smartest thing I have ever done. But it’s just not worth the drama it caused.
It goes on from there, if you can even comprehend the startling insights from this noted thinker. If a little self-knowledge is a dangerous thing, she’s got nothing to worry about. Although she does get off a good parting line:
This is the last time I’ll ever address this non-scandal but at the very least I hope other girls can learn from this episode before they post any kind of photo online. I know I have learned a valuable lesson about the Internet and the boundaries between personal and public use with social media.
I just wanted to get that off my chest.
Nice one. Yeah, if you’re going to be an attention whore, you kinda have to learn to deal with some unkind comments from your johns. Maybe now she’ll start spending more time reading those books than taking pictures of herself with them.
(But I hope not!)

She kinda looks like that girl, that played that girl that was married to that guy on the Sopranos. And an Andy Warhol book? Really? Why not just hold up a book on Nietzsche, or “On the Road” or something something that really says “I’m a freshman in college, and Look how SMART I am!” I guess the Warhol book has lots more pictures. He was a photographer right?
Y’know I didn’t even notice the breasts until you pointed them out to me. The first thing I saw was a blond chick holding a book on Andy Warhol. And I thought is that a picture book?
But seriously, I didn’t know cameras take black and white images anymore, hasn’t some work been done to that pic? Also you don’t have to put your breasts on display to be called a slut if you’re to the right of center. Just ask Sarah Palin.
Let’s see… She’s young, hot, blond, wealthy beyond belief, kinda hard to feel bad for her.
Just so pretentious – big (fake) boobs and blond hair (also fake – extensions) but lest you think she is just some air head she holds a book by Warhol. And I doubt she gets the 15 minutes of fame and Warhol connection.
I see more moms dressed like when they pick up the kids from school. I think that is more of an issue than the likes a a 20 somthing posting a picture of her with cleavage.
Where is this school exactly?
Major lolz at the comment about Coco, Ice-T’s wife. That’s EXACTLY whose breasts those look like.
Pasta: Drea DeMatteo who played Adriana?
Yep.
Well, I for one am SICK AND TIRED of this right-wing, Nazi neocon Bible-thumping fanatic fascist site. Why don’t you ever cover any of the evil baby-eating poor-oppressing union-busting mustache-twirling right-wingers and their hypocrisy, huh? All we ever see are the liberals and the RINOs. It’s so unfair.
I’m so happy for Meghan. If only all of us could know what it’s like to have a huge ass on our chests.
“…a huge ass on our chests” jeez louise Beige, now I gotta wipe rum and coke off my monitor.
As a woman with real tits, I have to say that there is no way her boobs can be real. Real boobs don’t direct their cleavage upwards like that no matter what bra you wear. And she is definitely not making a “look what a nerd I am” face. She knew exactly what kind of attention she’d draw with such a pose and revealing clothes.
P.S. Arthur C. Danto is kind of a big deal in the art/aesthetics world, and he’s not an easy read. If you’re going to pretend you’re smart, Danto is a good name to drop.
I thought the pic with the priests looked nice. I found myself staring at her boobs trying to figure out why anyone would comment on them. Still don’t get it.
The other shot, that’s a different story. Maybe when you got those girls, you don’t notice them in your own pictures, but anyone else in the world is going to focus in on them! Kind of dumb, but on the other hand, at least she didn’t blame someone else for leaking the shot or some crap like that. Still not as dumb as Pam Anderson.
Bush daughters are still hotter.
What? I don’t always have to be smart! I am a guy after all.
Less twitting and more titties please. As a Republican male I support any woman’s attempts to show any and all parts of their breasts on the internet. It’s a courageous position to take in our day and age but there are still some heroes out there.
And yes that’s definitely not her “love me for my mind” look or shirt.
i don’t have a twatter (nor do i want one) but my sister showed me this picture. i only know this about meghan: she’s john mccain’s daughter. ok.. cool? i saw this picture and went “ummm. this may be a way to get attention.” if she’s alone in her apt. in sweatpants and a tank top (i wear sweatpants and a big oversized mens shirt when i’m at home.. not as hot, i know) then that’s fine, wear whatever you want. but i don’t see the need to press your boobs up against the camera lens. and are we sure those are real?
Well, she can write. I’ll give her that. Quite a change from the usual Generation-Y users of Twitter etc. for whom capital letters are too much to ask, let along full sentences.
I say, God bless her and all who sail in her.
Anna Nicole and Meghan McCain…same person? Is this a conspiracy? Just a question.

Maybe she thought the site was called Twitties.com It’s an easy titstake….er….mistake to make.
A uniquely apt comment, considering the flotation-device potential involved.
Speaking as a large-breasted girl myself** I can kind of empathize with her. My boobs are just always there, always big, and always attract a lot of attention no matter what I cover them with. All you can do at a certain point is wear a burqa or roll with the jokes.
That being said she gets no sympathy for me for the comments from the first pic. It’s one thing to be getting “slut” comments whwen you’re wearing a turtle-neck sweater but when you’ve got them popping out like that you have to expect that kind of crap. (Expect – not “deserve).
Regarding the provenance of her breasts I would say with 95% certainty (based on all of two photos presented here) they are real. In the lower picture they rest like large boobs are supposed to and in the top one they smush together like natural boobs.
**for the prurient minded here: I’m a 34 H – and yes, they are natural.
I like the twit pic! Very nices assets but not sure I buy her surprise at the people commenting on it (them). She is very aware that she has big tits and she has had previous negative comments about them before so why the shock when she posts a pic with lots of cleav? If she like some of the hot chicks I have known she analyzed (and analyzed and took another 10 more and then analyzed those, again and again….)that picture before posting it.
She should be in the next volume of Girls Gone Mild. Class is so much more of a turn-on than a shellacked exterior, and she has about as much of it as I have the Armadillo Flu.
“Major lolz at the comment about Coco”
Isn’t Coco that monkey they taught sign language to?
Here 15 minutes are all over. She does have nice breasts though…
You know, couple this post’s headline with that first photo, and the phrase “elephant in the room” takes on new significance.
She DOES have a familial resemblance to Drea DeMatteo.
