An instant classic from Michelle Malkin

Meghan McCain is making quite a name for herself. Like her father, she is being lavished with media coverage for her "bravery" in going after Conservatives,  most recently in pieces bashing Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham. I happened to be listening to Ingraham when she referred to Ms. McCain as "plus-sized" and what's striking is that in the five-minute piece Ingraham did on Ms. McCain, that reference was a throwaway compared to the red meat Ingraham provided (and the whole bit is beyond-hysterical). Ms. McCain, like so many other RINOs and quasi-Conservatives, is learning that all a self-described GOPer needs to do is attack Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter, and all the sudden they're fluffing Jon Stewart while beating eggs with Harry Smith.  Michelle Malkin just posted a long, verbal smackdown about Meghan, which is a must-read for dorks like me who find such things fascinating. 

You know what’s wrong with Meghan McCain? It’s not her weight. It’s not her voice. It’s not her looks. She’s a beautiful young girl with TV-friendly poise and natural charm. The trouble with Meghan McCain is that, like her father, she has no fixed ideological principles — conservative, liberal, or otherwise. She seems to have inherited the notion that playing the “maaaaverick” imparts her with moral authority and credibility as a fresh voice for the GOP. I’m all for speaking truth to power. But like her father, Ms. McCain’s maaaaverick-iness appears to be rooted less in any firm set of beliefs than in the need for liberal approbation.
