That’s Probably Enough Meghan McCain for Now

Via Nick Sabloff, this is the sort of media moment that would slow down the schedule of an ordinary pundit. But Meghan McCain’s, err, “expertise,” has never been ordinary.

McCain makes the fairly standard argument that the president “blames” the previous administration too much; Paul Begala says the president doesn’t do it enough, and cites Ronald Reagan’s attacks on Jimmy Carter “for eight years.”

MCCAIN: You know, I wasn’t born yet, so I don’t know.

BEGALA: I wasn’t born during the French Revolution but I know about it.

MCCAIN: You clearly know everything, and I’m just the blonde sitting here!

Pretty embarrassing. McCain’s success as a pundit is not too mysterious — she did lots of media during the campaign, and befriended journalists, and she doesn’t apparently have much else to do.

As long as her last name is McCain and she bucks traditional GOP beliefs. she'll keep getting work. But she did come off as not quite looking ready for prime time. Probably should consider getting a media consultant or something,

She's just riding her 15 minutes of fame via her father's name. Her problem is she's not smart enough to realize just how dumb she is. She just makes a fool of herself over and over again.

She sounds as asinine as BO did when he said regarding Bill Ayres' criminal past: “I was seven.”
