The nice thing about families is that they share, like how the Kennedys each get a chance to trash their storied legacy. John McCain, as everyone knows, is unparalleled when it comes to gaffes, but that doesn’t mean he won’t let his kids have a shot now and then.
Take official campaign poster kid Meghan McCain. The 23-year-old blogger is already misspeaking at a Jenna Bush level. Yesterday, she stopped by the “Today” show to plug her knew children’s book, “My Dad, John McCain,” which transforms the senator’s years being tortured as a POW into a lovely bedtime read for tots. (We’re starting to think Meghan didn’t really get the whole “appealing to young voters” thing at the strategy meeting).
While defending her dad and his campaign and, like, the totally awesome things he’ll do for the country or whatever, Meghan unfurled this masterpiece: “My father is obviously a famous war hero. No one knows what war is like other than my family. Period.”
You hear that, military families? Iraq war veterans? Quit your whining. You couldn’t possibly understand war the way Meghan McCain does. Which is why, once her father is elected, she’s totes going to be chairwoman of the joint chiefs and stuff.
But hey, at least she’s not 17 and pregnant. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
