Okay, I'll try not to die, but my eyeballs still hurt. Thanks for the concern honey.

Ohhhh. I see. @HoboClayton was responding to @atlantaloves! D'OH!

[Haleth]

Meghan continues to suffer from whataboutism. And the audience continues to suffer from her shrillness.

Congresswoman Wilson tried to tear her a new one, but just came off as a raving lunatic. Meghan showed incredible restraint and was completely professional in her reaction to the congresswoman's highly inappropriate action.

Megan showed restraint?? Did hell freeze over that day?

[ari333]

I hate how MM says, "thank you" as "think yow." It makes me crazy.

[Bronzedog]

I wonder if there will ever be a day that John McCain isn't mentioned.   We get it.  Meghan is John McCain's daughter.  Next she'll legally change her name to John so we're constantly reminded why she got the job.

Well,she isn't treating Sunny very kindly - accusing her of rolling her eyes today!   What is Whoopi's problem?  

For several weeks posters here have commented on how rude and condescending* Whoopi is to Sunny.

*And who does she think she is???  Sunny's education and professional records are something to be admired...greatly.   ETA:  And I'm not even a Sunny fan.

I didn't know about how "red meat" was used on other shows, and was going to snark on it--about adding it to her list of buzz words, like Tribal, culture wars, etc

Surely someone here has the talent and inclination to make a poem (call it a rap) for Ms. McCain and her buzz words.

[Tunia]

If all the "stuff" already mentioned about MM wasn't enough, today she walks out wearing Sarah Huckabee Sanders' red ruffled-bottomed dress.  How far up the administration's butt can she get?

Aw, man!  I'm sorry I missed this because my daughter's wedding was 4 weeks ago and I spent a good year engrossed in planning.  I can understand the blues since it occupied so much of my time and now?  It's over. :(

Please no.

Co-sign!!  No need to get vulgar!!

[geekburger]

I think the poster up thread nailed it when they said PRODUCER WHOOPI probably pushed heavily for Jed to go and MM to take her place. It makes so much sense, especially given how Whoopi seems to love having MM on the panel.

Unless I missed it, or she's a SEKRITH Producer, Whoopi ain't a producer on this show. 

And also? Meghan needs to learn the difference between Free Speech and Hate Speech, when she threw out that Shebeast Coulter's name as someone who is "afraid" to go and talk. Which is just bullshit. That racist piece of shit vicious hateful creature isn't afraid of jack shit. People just don't want to listen to her spewing hateful shit. Nowhere has it been said she's not allowed, but these folks that want to do it, go ahead. There is nothing in the First Amendment that states that there aren't CONSEQUENCES.

[TheGreenKnight]

Who in the world is Meghan McCain to talk about respect for elders when she rolls her eyes, huffs, and stares daggers at Joy every morning? Have to love her translation of Hillary paying a firm that employed a British MI6 officer to spy on Russian informants as "She paid Russian informants!!!" But she is privileged and probably didn't need to worry about her grades in school, so I don't think her comprehension skills are that great.

If we're looking for nicknames for her thread, how 'bout, in commemoration of her Halloween costume--Red Whiny Bitch?

Misstep #14.     I think Ms. McCain used her quota of silly jargon in one day (today): REDMEATREDMEATREDMEAT ... REDRUM !

I like this "red meat" expression of hers. She's basically calling Trump supporters crazed and blood-thirsty animals.

You're remembering that very differently than I do. I remember Meghan looking like she was going to burst into tears when she got laid into for being disgusting (and me laughing and laughing afterwards).

[StaceyNotStacie]

I’d go with “Wannabe Maverick” as her tagline. 

I’m still undecided about Meghan. I’d rather she not be on the panel (I preferred the 4 person panel pre-Meghan and post-Jed), but I don’t completely dislike her. I’m just surprised that they let her talk as much as she does. They don’t argue back as much as they should. It’s almost like they’re afraid to yell too much to the point where they don’t want to be accused in the media of being too mean to her, ala Rosie and Elisabeth. 

[TheGreenKnight]

Don't get me wrong, I'll take Meghan any day of the week over Jedi. So props to Whoopi if she was the one who did her in.

It really does seem that way. What exactly did she have against Jed I wonder..she even laughed at her crappy jokes

[Tosia]

What about "Entitled, but Not So Tough Chick"?

Did she say this in response to Hillary's interview with Trevor Noah last night? GTFO.

Is she? She kept using that term to talk about the REASON for the attack in New York. "The Red Meat of this attack is because..." That doesn't sound like she's calling his supporters anything.

Whoopi was far too giddy after Jedi's departure for her not to have a hand in it!  My dislike for McBlabby has nothing to do with her political views, but her obnoxious attitude. I agree with many points Whoops struggles to articulate, but find her to be insufferable. Whoops and MM are cut from the same entitled bolt of cloth.

I guess when I hear her say he’s throwing red meat at his base, I imagine someone throwing red meat into a pack of hyenas.

[atlantaloves]

Oh, before I forget to mention this, Mrs. Whoopie was on Andy Cohen's show the other night, and mentioned to Andy that MM was terrific and a very good fit for the show.  Therefore, I had to barf, AGAIN.  I am losing weight as I speak.  Blaughhhhhhh.

Huh. I don't recall her saying that, but then again, after the second time she said "red meat" when talking about the attack in NY, I zoned her out.

Yeah. Just like a typical FOX parrot, she learns a new buzzword and fails to use it in its proper context.

While I agree that whataboutism can be quite annoying, but I'm sure that Meghan is just pointing out their hypocrisy. You never hear them complain about Democrats who engage in similar behavior so she is just pointing it out.

You saw what you wanted to see and perhaps I did too. Perception is everything.

[Wings]

On a lighter note Megan wanted to keep her engagement secret?  What, was she afraid of being mobbed by Paparazzi?  She has a very high opinion of herself.

I wonder if they are going easy on her out of respect for her father.

No, she said this in response to the discussion about Mueller's investigation of the Trump campaign. Her knee jerk reaction was to assert that Hillary did exactly the same and should be investigated too.

I only got to see the first twenty minutes of the show today, but did Meghan name her fiance?  The press is reporting it's right wing blogger Ben Domenech:

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Domenech

[HoboClayton]

He's another blogger. Her grandiose attitude  is what has always turned me off about her. I just find her completely boring..  Russia is all over everything.. As are we Whoopi. But, I did like her throwing in a quote from Pops McCain.

He sounds like a real winner.  Not.

[Tunia]

MM's going to marry this dude after seeing what they know about him? If this is what they already know, how much is there that they don't know? 

[maggiemae]

I suppose this explains why MM is unwilling to reveal her fiance.

Instead of a RED MEAT drinking game, why don't we all just mimic throwing meat at our televisions?

[StaceyNotStacie]

I hope it’s not a thing where she’s rushing to get married while her father is still well enough to attend her wedding. 

[HoboClayton]

Bingo. Her dad is all she has, and I think deep down she knows that.

She has her mother, Cindy.  Are they estranged? 

[Kenz]

I don't have any animosity toward Meghan McCain. I just think she's a terrible fit for this show. She seems uncomfortable, on edge, defensive, unhappy, and her statements just don't sound that intelligent. When she discussed her engagement, even that seemed joy less. Maybe she could join her ultra right wing fiance on his blog and together they can spout right wing ideology, hopefully without too much plagiarism. (See wikipedia article about Ben Domenech re plagiarism.)

[HoboClayton]

No. She has a nice big family that is loving and great and I'm sure lots of great friends. But, her mother is not why she has gotten the opportunities she has. I have gone back and forth on her for years now. I don't hate her or think she is evil, I think she is just super privileged and that is how it is. She just thinks her opinions are much more important than they are. She's a snot, and she loves to play the victim. But, she's just so boring about it. Own it Meghan, go big. You're going to get dragged either way, so go hog wild. Please!! Snore.

She has a nice trust fund due to her mom. Cindy is the Chair of Hensley & Co which is a big Anheuser-Busch distributor.

Oh, and though I am not Muslim, I do know what "Allah Hu Akbar means." It's not a war cry; or a shout that means "death to infidels." It means "God is great." That phrase is used in ALL different situations. The fanatics just twist it and use it for their own fanaticism.  Just like every other fanatic of any other religion.

JEEBUS CRIPES.

I cringed during that part of the conversation, because they kept saying "Allah Akbar" which just means Allah Great and isn't grammatically sound. Allahu Akbar is Allah is Greater, as in Allah is over and above everything and is always Greater in comparisson. We Muslims use that phrase for everything, when we start to pray, when we see something amazing, etc.. When you're at a Muslim event and someone does something worthy of a clap someone will yell out Takbir! And the rest of us will reply with Allahu Akbar.

[HoboClayton]

Yeah. She has money from Mom. But, that is not why she has been given a platform.

The one thing that jumped out at me, and I paraphrase because I cant find it now.  It said Domenech was hired at some place because he was a rebel republican and could shake things up. LOLOL ! Where oh Where have we heard that before? Everybody loves a bad boy. (Sigh, me included lol)
