Meghan McCain: "Both Sides" Wannabe Tough Chick

ETA: Just noticed I added a word!

I meant to say that "K. Harris was not attacking J. Biden."  OOPS!  I really need to reread before posting!

If Meghan can't ask a simple question without referring to her blue cards, there's no way on earth she'd be capable of hosting a show all by herself.

A couple of months ago, she introduced a guest and thanked them for coming, which she read off the card, and then, after the break, she looked at her cards and thanked them for coming a second time!

Putting aside her opinions and personality, she is terrible at the basics of this job.  I always think she's like a high school student who won a "host the show for a day" contest.

She's done the show for almost two seasons and has shown no improvement.  I wonder if anyone in production cares about this and has made suggestions to her that she needs to practice certain skills, like reading from a teleprompter, etc. or if Meghan thinks she can coast because of her last name.

She really is terrible at her job. Reading this makes it so clear. I dislike her so much that I think I just ignore that basically she's a terrible host. If you watched her pitch her book picks wow, she seemed ok (I guess) with her friends book. The second book she was stumbling and fumbling over every word. It was so bad even Whoopi Goldberg was probably thinking, damn girl.

I don't think that K. Harris was not attacking J. Biden.  She asked about something he did as a senator - it was not name calling, making fun, bullying - it was a question about what he did and what does he think about his decision now.

I agree. She called him on something that was a part of his record, a topic that never would have come up had he not felt the need to make the statement about the segregationists in the weeks leading up to the debate. That was fair game just as much as anything about Kamala's record is.

Would ANYONE have noticed (especially MM) if a man had brought up VP Biden's past comments and votes?

Joy stated on The View this week (and previously) that she was extremely upset with the current administration, which she likened to Hitler's regime. Although Kamala's reaction to Biden's gaffe is understandable, I worry that Meghan's comment re Democrats cannibalizing each other is accurate.

Meghan stole this term from others, like Dick Polman, who was saying Democrats are cannibalizing each other 7 months ago.  They are.

The whole "being caged" quote is really backfiring for NutMeg online, so I have to assume she really said that because otherwise she would be tweeting out her outrage at this fake news!  I think this was entirely set in motion by Nutmeg's PR people, but they didn't control what their planted sources would say, hence the unfortunate "caged animal" comment.  

And things are going to be pretty tense next week because Sunny knows how to carry a grudge.  NutMeg and her people have targeted Sunny, and they are going after her professionally and personally.  She won't take that lying down.  Should get interesting.

I think the "for" in the last sentence is supposed to be "in honor of", but who knows.

And something she didn't give ANY FUCKS ABOUT until it affected HER, personally. Go Fuck yourself, Meghan.

[athousandclowns]

Yesterday a picture of Megan and her mother from the view popped up on my FB

i could not get over that almost @100% favorable comments. How beautiful they both are and everyone loved MM’s  hair and that her clothes look beautiful every day. How wonderful to have her mothers support, WTH ? If she hasn’t gone back to her beloved home state in a year she’s sure the heck isn’t supporting/ comforting  her mother.  Makes me wonder if we are hallucinating.   

[HaaCHOO]

You know, AThousandClowns, now that I think of it, Meghan's clothes might look beautiful every day.  I'll have to be more observant and objective.  

• The Clothes Alone = Beautiful
• The Clothes on Meghan = Wrong...So Wrong

Had lunch w/my youngest sister today.  Told her I didn't want to discuss politics.  We argree politically, but she is RABID.  She pontificates. She knows more than anyone.  She CANNOT STOP.  I "unfollowed" her earlier this year on Facebook.  Lunch was NOT FUN.

I hear ya!  I figure if something big happens I will get a push notice.  Until then I cannot stomach what is happening in this country.  I am really looking forward to my vacation in Poland where I can get away from this stuff.  3 more weeks!

I do want to thank everyone who is still watching this show and reporting to this site.  I may go back to it but Meeghan was driving me nuts.

[SunnyBeBe]

I wonder if she is struggling with some kind of mental issue.  Sometimes, people who are ill struggle publicly, the way she seems to be.  It just seems odd.  It's difficult for me to believe she fully appreciates how she's being seen in the public eye.  She sure seems super miserable.  I hope she can get some help.

Not that I can see. She's just a vile, hateful, narcissistic piece of shit. Sometimes an awful person is just an awful person. And Her Twatness embodies every vile, offensive, hypocritical thing.

I was just coming to post this.  It explains why she was talking about baby names the other day.  I had wondered whether she was pregnant.

So instead of sharing that on her own fucking show she tells the NY Times?

[rcc]

Beautifully written. That last sentence made me tear up.

[GHScorpiosRule]

I guess I'm just a cold-hearted, heartless bitch, because that article, which I skimmed, did NOTHING for me. She's talking about how miscarriages being more common then women would think as if it's a new thing. It's not. Sometimes women don't even know they've miscarried.

So she can just miss me with her "learn from my experience" nonsense.

Edited July 19, 2019 by GHScorpiosRule

[blondiec0332]

So she goes from being adamantly child free to being pregnant and devastated at the loss.  So does this mean the pregnancy was planned?  Unplanned but happily surprised? Will she now want to try again?  I hope she learns something from this experience.  As much as she wanted that child there are so many other parents that also want their child and this happens much later in the pregnancy when choices need to be made.  Hopefully she will have more compassion for those parents now.

[TheGreenKnight]

I’m cold and dead inside when it comes to Meghan McCain at this point. All I see when I read this and the “I am sorry” response above is her trying to rehab her image and make people feel sorry for her again because most everyone despises her at this point. It comes at a convenient time—time for re-signing on The View. And we know she hasn’t been signed yet because otherwise she’d be shouting about it from the mountaintop like she did when it happened last year. It also explains why she’s been subdued on the show the past two weeks. Funny that she thinks being nice for one month out of her two years of rage screaming and chaos is going to change anything. She’s already played all her cards.

If there is a hell my seat is surely reserved because my first thought was she is lying.

[GoldenGirl90]

Wait a second - I thought she despised the New York Times? She’s talked trash about them a number of times on the show and on social media.

And I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who looked at this as yet another attempt to rehab her image. 

[Gemma Violet]

I wonder if she told her co-hosts about this before it came out today.  Maybe she told Whoopi.

Scoot over, because I’m having a seat too. I wouldn’t wish a miscarriage on anyone, but damn if the first thought in my head was, “JHC, now her screeching is going to go from MY FATHER to MY BABY if not both at once, and now she can get back all those sympathy tongue baths that have slowly waned since MY FATHER died.” The press about her has been overwhelmingly negative, her cohosts hate her...just leave already, Meghan. You literally don’t ever have to work. You’re an heiress for chrissake. You don’t need this show and it doesn’t need you. Take the miscarriage as a sign to leave this “stressful” environment with all of those mean libruls, go buy your ranch in Montana and have as many kids as you want. 

[falltime]

So she miscarried in April. She was gone April 25 and 26 based on tweets I made.

[Badbea99]

Make room for me, too.  I wouldn't wish miscarriage on anyone either, but I just can't feel sorry for her.  

Whose idea was it to announce the news via an opinion piece in the frigging NY Times???  And, yes, Alexis, she bad mouthed the Times a lot on the show.  I'm thinking her PR people have some connections and they decided this was the way to go to make the biggest splash and get the most attention and sympathy.  I totally agree her misfortune is being used to rehab her damaged image and for major, major sympathy from everyone at ABC, The View, producers, co hosts, etc.  She'll use this as an excuse as to why she had outbursts and cursed on air and called Brian T. a MFer.  In addition to My Father, we'll now hear My Baby, My Daughter, blah, blah, blah.  

I didn't appreciate the insinuation that the stress she's under on the show may have contributed to her losing the child.  I highly doubt it but she's going to play it for all it's worth.

I can only imagine the next time the topic of abortion is discussed.  She will go ballistic as she'll see herself as the spokeswoman for all women who want children and have lost them, herself included.  

I'm thinking the co-hosts are aware and perhaps that's why Joy has been less confrontational with her lately.  If they didn't know, it will be interesting to see if Sunny softens her attitude next week.  I'm hoping she doesn't but I'm not optimistic.  

Oh, and one last thing, I don't for one minute believe she wrote this piece on her own.  PR team at work.  Just like I'll never believe she wrote the Eulogy she gave at The Funeral.  

[Haleth]

Oh brother. After all her claims that she doesn’t want to have children, all of a sudden we are supposed to think she’s grieving for her lost baby that she’ll always remember and love?  Just another ploy to make people see her as a victim. 

I’m so glad they are going on break in a couple weeks. 

[PradaKitty]

I’m, this is the person who kept saying she didn’t ever want children and now we’re supposed to feel sorry for her?!! 

She talks about show the leader of the Republican Party lies all the time. Did she mean Republican “Pundits” lie all of the time, too?!

That fetus did not want to be around the toxicity that is Meghan.

[bannana]

I had a miscarriage when I was an Executive Director.  No one at my work knew.  I only took one afternoon off.  I didn't want anyone knowing my personal business.  But since NutMeg has decided the whole world has to grieve with her for the loss of her father, it makes sense she would want everyone to know about her miscarriage.  She will get a lot of mileage out of this.

She says in the article that she didn't want anyone to know, but then she says that she wants to raise awareness of miscarriages because it is a taboo subject.  Since when is a miscarriage a taboo subject.  A very high percentage of women have them.  Remember she also said grieving was taboo.   She has an odd perspective of the world, or maybe she is just very immature.
