I Propose A Trade

Last night, I happened to catch a bit of The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. He had on Meghan McCain to talk about the House's latest attempt to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Ms. McCain again reiterated her strong support for repeal of DADT and for marriage equality for the LGBT community.

As I watched it, I could not help but think a trade is in order... would not everyone be happier if the Democrats/liberals & progressives swapped Harold Ford, Jr. to the Republicans/conservatives & teabaggers for Meghan McCain?

Would Meghan make a good Democrat? No, absolutely not. But neither does Mary Landrieu or Blanche Lincoln and certainly neither does Harold Ford, Jr.! Mr. Ford is what we refer in the fantasy sports world as "expendable" (it is also what Dick Cheney calls U.S. soldiers... allegedly).



This would be the best trade I have made since acquiring Patrick Jeffers early in the 1999 fantasy football season.

Are We Being Punk'd?!?!

I saw this on the CNN Political Ticker:

Meanwhile, when it comes to whether (Meghan) McCain would support a potential Palin presidential bid in 2012, she said her heart actually belongs to another likely White House hopeful.

"I am so sick of this us-versus-them mentality," she said. "I just want a candidate that's going to stop being us versus them. So right now I am team Romney."

Ummmm... does she not realize what an ASSHOLE Mitt Romney is?!? He is no more of a "Uniter" than George W. Bush. Don't believe me? Watch this segment from The Daily Show.

I will say that I don't think this quite replaces the quintessential embarrassing moment of Meghan McCain's public life (thus far):

this classic clip from Real Time With Bill Maher.

Ouch! You got to turn off the empathy instinct when you watch that... or else you're going to feel bad for her getting so badly public owned. Of course, if you're a Republican, there is no empathy instinct to turn off... and, let's face it, you're not watching Real Time anyway.
