  • WHO IS THIS DEPENDENT CHILD? Now what is this we see in the Senate financial disclosures: “Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and his wife, Cindy, owe more than $15,000 on a joint credit card that is charging 25 percent interest; Cindy McCain owes between $15,000 and $50,000 on another charge card; and a dependent child has racked up between $15,000 and $50,000 on an American Express Card as well.” [Politico]

such mavericks!

Crank Tango June 12, 2009 at 2:38 pm

Certainly not megs, cuz she’s got a job!

And I’d hit that, regardless.

Lazy Media June 12, 2009 at 2:40 pm

Meg McCabe vowed to earn her way on her own, without her famous war-hero father’s help, using only spunk, raw talent, and an unlimited Amex card.

Manos: Hands of Fate June 12, 2009 at 2:40 pm

Doesn’t a dependent have to be under 18?

ella June 12, 2009 at 2:41 pm

How does anybody with that much money get whooped with a 25% interest rate?

NoWireHangers June 12, 2009 at 2:41 pm

WALNUTS! is claiming MEGHAN on his TAXES as a “dependent”?!?!?!?!?

That bitch child is like 25 years old!!!

Suck it you little brat. GET A REAL JOB! FEEL MY PAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes, and of course Politico leads with Ted Kennedy and buries Meghan’s credit card spree at the bottom. I THOUGHT WE WERE A WAR BLOG NEWELL.

Could it be… McCain’s BLACK BABY???

[re=337868]NoWireHangers[/re]: But she’s intellectually 15, so he might have a case.

NoWireHangers June 12, 2009 at 2:44 pm

[re=337871]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: They keep her in a crate in the garage, silly.

Saragon June 12, 2009 at 2:45 pm

Clearly he or she is a patriot! Like all good prominent conservatives, this podling is deep in debt, because that stimulates the economy as long as a Republican holds the White House, and they are in debt to a company clearly labeled “American”. It’s right there in the name!

Also, how many illegitimate children could John McCain’s scattered safe houses (mansions) hide, anyway? I say a dozen.

19kevin8 June 12, 2009 at 2:45 pm

Looks like Sarah went to Nordstrom’s again!

freakishlystrong June 12, 2009 at 2:45 pm

Well fuck, looks like they may have to sell one of their houses, (like WALNUTS!), I can’t remember how many there have….

NoWireHangers June 12, 2009 at 2:46 pm

[re=337871]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Or maybe you’re right and I should step away from the Caps Lock. It never leads anywhere good. But still, Meghan McCain sucks. Let’s not confuse that fact.

iwillsavethispatient June 12, 2009 at 2:46 pm

Why won’t the Obama administration act to curb these predatory credit card companies from preying on the elderly? They can’t be expected to understand complex financial things like credit card interest and find themselves a better deal. The Government Must Act!

NoWireHangers June 12, 2009 at 2:47 pm

[re=337865]Manos: Hands of Fate[/re]: No, I thought parents could claim you at any age as long as you were sucking at their teat. Bridget is 18 anyway.

What kind of glass pumpkin is worth $675, Senator Feinstein? Sounds like some fancy west coast un american Hollywood thing to me. You can get a real pumpkin for $5

Texan Bulldoggette June 12, 2009 at 2:48 pm

So glad this noodlehead didn’t get elected. He can’t pay off a credit card that’s charging him 25% interest with his wife’s gazillion dollars. Between $15 & 50K is quite a spread–more of Politico’s crack ‘win the day’ journalism!

PerhapsSo June 12, 2009 at 2:49 pm

What I took away from that article is that Senator Feinstein’s friends give shitty gifts.

Extemporanus June 12, 2009 at 2:49 pm

Spoon fed? Check. Diapers? Check. Prone to gibberish-filled temper tantrums? Check. The dependent child is obviously WALNUTS!

queeraselvis v 2.0 June 12, 2009 at 2:50 pm

[re=337882]NoWireHangers[/re]: No confusion here. Besides, we all know that Meghan gets most of her money from giving headjobs to Matt Yglesias.

CorkPopper June 12, 2009 at 2:53 pm

Twenty-five fucking percent? Wow. I know WALNUTS confessed to not knowing that much about economics, but that’s just embarassing.

Oh, and it’s good to see the Megs is exactly as responsible as we all figured her for.

Naked Bunny with a Whip June 12, 2009 at 2:54 pm

It’s not Meghan. John McCain is the one who really knocked up Bristol Palin (not, as reported previously, David Letterman).

queeraselvis v 2.0 June 12, 2009 at 2:54 pm

[re=337886]x111e7thst[/re]: That’s only because Maxine Waters disputed the paternity test results.

GDuvall June 12, 2009 at 2:56 pm

Prolly his youngest son splurging on liquor and body armor after graduating from the Naval Academy. Can’t say as I blame him.

Red Zeppelin June 12, 2009 at 2:57 pm

Can we have an itemized list of expenses? I would like to know what percentage of Meg’s charges are for male escorts and dildos. I’m guessing it’s big.

Mr Blifil June 12, 2009 at 2:58 pm

Why wouldn’t you just pay the bills rather than carry the huge interest rate payments, unnecessarily? Beer Heiresses elude me.

heroinmule June 12, 2009 at 2:58 pm

my guess is that they’re so loaded, they barely noticed the bills or interest rate jump.

Gopherit June 12, 2009 at 3:00 pm

[re=337868]NoWireHangers[/re]: did somebody say WAR???!?!

lizard scum June 12, 2009 at 3:02 pm

Does McCain qualify for another credit card, or is he too risky? If he does, he should think about a balance transfer on the 25% rate. I guess when McCain voted against capping rates at 15% he was thinking, “Losers like me and Cindy should subsidize savvy consumers.”

heroinmule June 12, 2009 at 3:02 pm

Or maybe street dealers now accept amex?

Humpback June 12, 2009 at 3:06 pm

That dependent child is not widely known because it goes to school year-round. Or else it lives in the garage, ready to pull the family car. Mush, baby, mush!

facehead June 12, 2009 at 3:09 pm

25% interest? I’ve got a bridge (and another war) they might buy.

problemwithcaring June 12, 2009 at 3:09 pm

a dependent child has racked up between $15,000 and $50,000 on an American Express Card as well

Her life, in a fucking twitter nutshell.

ManchuCandidate June 12, 2009 at 3:11 pm

Expect to see an angry Twat from Meg sometime today.

Canmon (the Inadequate) June 12, 2009 at 3:12 pm

His son just graduated from the Naval Acadaemy and his youngest daughter just turned 18 and is still in school. They are probably supporting both.

NoWireHangers June 12, 2009 at 3:14 pm

[re=337914]Gopherit[/re]: You have some type of bat signal don’t you?

gurukalehuru June 12, 2009 at 3:14 pm

It’s for Bridget. For that book she’s not writing.

JadedDIssonance June 12, 2009 at 3:18 pm

[re=337937]NoWireHangers[/re]: He is pretty skilled. I think I shall pay Politico a “visit.”

lizard scum June 12, 2009 at 3:20 pm

[re=337932]facehead[/re]: Yeah, and do the banks know that this is a Senator they’re screwing? I heard that Joe Biden used to have a card with 0.08% APR.

Gopherit June 12, 2009 at 3:20 pm

[re=337937]NoWireHangers[/re]: I was hoping shorts would want to go…..but he’s dead silent so far

RedTape June 12, 2009 at 3:20 pm

Yeah, it might very well be Bridget, who Meg is currently ragging on twitter for not having a crush on Eminem or Travis Barker.

CaliforniaMike June 12, 2009 at 3:26 pm

What kind of diot is worth more than $100 million and doesn’t pay off their credit card every month? Does Cindy take lessons from Paris Hilton in stupidity, or is she just a typical GOP Stepford wife? “Oh, silly me, I can never remember to pay those bills.”

Naked Bunny with a Whip June 12, 2009 at 3:32 pm

[re=337946]Gopherit[/re]: shortscubed is dead??!?!1?! Who will write funny blogs now!!!?…

rachelv June 12, 2009 at 3:34 pm

Walnuts paying the 25% rate makes me happy.

Gopherit June 12, 2009 at 3:40 pm

[re=337958]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]: Not dead, but he might as well be. He’s probably……working.

Naked Bunny with a Whip June 12, 2009 at 3:52 pm

[re=337974]Gopherit[/re]: *screams and screams and screams*

19kevin8 June 12, 2009 at 4:00 pm

[re=337935]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Especially since she’s at Sturgis this weekend. I wonder if she’ll twat about the biker train…

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 12, 2009 at 4:23 pm

Who knew that you could run up that much hookers and blow on an AmEx card?

Bruno June 14, 2009 at 11:11 am

I would gladly loan all the Walnuts at 25% interest. I promise to be brutal with late payment charges and other ‘extras’

BlueStateLibtard June 14, 2009 at 3:59 pm

Next Megan twitter rant: “My mother would not be cutting up my brother’s Amex card, but obvsly because I’m female, she takes it out on me. Sad, sad, sad and so unfair!”

schvitzatura June 15, 2009 at 3:09 am

What child is this, who, Amex maxed
On WALNUTS’! largess, is mooching?
Whom Politico greet with schadenfreude sweet,
While Shep Smith’s watch are keeping?
