Listen to this clip of Meghan McCain's bizarre espousings on Glenn Beck's radio show. It was all so bad, frankly, that I first imagined it was a joke. Surely someone else was calling in, pretending to be her. But, umm, nope. No such luck.
Back in the '90s, we used the expression "valley girl" to describe brainless babes. In this new millenium, maybe it's "daddy girl."
And, God forbid you were wondering, I am no fan of the catty anti-feminist Maureen Dowd. Though you can bet she'll be all over this like a bed bug in New York city, feasting on corpses in the Waldorf's Junior League suites.

But this time, it's more about Netflix CEO Reed Hastings than the president, although a few Obama jabs are thrown in for good measure.
Mr. Hastings assured a Canadian reporter that Americans were too "self-absorbed" to notice that Netflix charges us more than it does its Canadian customers.
But we weren't too self-absorbed to notice this clever fellow's "joke."
Hastings� claim of a joke gone awry is not believable when you read the original comment in context, and even as a joke it lacks enough realism to be amusing. But it is a view of Americans often stated by liberals. (Of the $255,450 of Hasting�s political donations, $224,700 has gone to Democrats.) It�s time that liberals who famously claim to be "the reality-based community" finally learn that their view of what Michelle Obama described as an "uninvolved, uninformed" America is informed by their own insularity and stinginess - not the facts. Conservatives give more blood, time and money including Reed Hastings, call for higher taxes so that money can be redistributed through the government. President Obama and Vice-President Biden�s 2008 tax returns show a similar contrast in what they demand of us and what they do - including Obama�s irony-rich demands that we should be our brother�s keeper when he, a millionaire, has an aunt living on the dole and a brother in abject poverty. I do agree with Mr. Hastings that there are many "self-absorbed" Americans out there, but they don�t represent a majority that would justify his original statement. Now that's telling 'em!
