Histrionic personality disorder heiress Meghan McCain joined Bill Maher and Friends on the Bill Maher comedy program last night. First Daughter, First Love remains mercifully unghostwritten as of yet, so why is beautiful young Meg McCabe such a commanding presence on America’s teevee programs and digital news traditions as of late? Verily, a mystery! The Bill Maher comedy show doesn’t know either, as evidenced by the producers’ exquisitely accurate description of our gal’s qualifications, pictured above. Dumb Matt Yglesias must be “in” with the HBO web interns!

So your Meg appears towards the end of the panel. Ahh she is so nervous, she says, because she gets to hang out with “all these world-renowned people”, referring to famed humans Joel Stein, Kitty Kay, and for-hire Chris Kattan impersonator Paul Begala. But it turns out that actually Joel Stein’s wife just had a baby, so naturally he has begun sleeping with Meghan, on Twitter.

So off we go, talking about, what else, that time David Letterman offered a million dollars to the first member of the Yankees baseball team to take the virginities of all the as-yet-undeflowered Palins but only if done in reverse alphabetic order. As it turns out, Meghan was just named the Harvey C. Mansfield Professor of First Daughters and First Loves at the Kennedy School of Government—and is also, as she points out every other clause, “a daughter”—so she is eminently qualified to talk about the nature of comedy writing.

Anyway, then for basically no reason M.M. starts going off about America’s Madonna/Whore complex. Par exemple, when she announced, for again basically no reason, that she wasn’t a virgin, the homogeneous cohesive entity of Politics was all like, “WTF. Uh, skank.” (Visual NB: camera pans to groundbreaking Twitter pornographer Joel Stein at this exact moment.) Bill Maher has perfected the art of vocalizing the linguistic equivalents of putting his hand on Meghan’s knee under the table.

Oh and then at one point, Meghan and Chris Kattan start arguing whether the French Revolution happened before Meghan was born, which, as Joel Stein will have you know, is totally before June 20, 1991, at least. “Well you just know everything!” Meg McCabe yells at Kattan, meaninglessly.

It pretty much goes without saying, but this entire episode is worth watching, if only to catch Joel Stein at the end defending the media’s coverage of the Euna Lee and Laura Ling incident by noting, “We love Asian women in this country! We love them in our pornography.” Jesus, why isn’t Meg just enough for you, Joel? Was she ever? And will she ever be?

first??? how can that be? it’s already 12:19pm, flyover-daylight-saving-time. anyway, I think you meant “as-yet-UNdeflowered” Palin girls.

OReillysVibrator June 20, 2009 at 2:28 pm

Wow, good call on the “for no reason at all” thing where Meghan mentions out of the blue she’s had sex. Seems like she’s insecure and the type of person who mentions he’s/she’s had sex everywhere after they just first got laid. Notice none of the Palin girls do that.

SayItWithWookies June 20, 2009 at 2:32 pm

That was a thing of real hilarity last night. And I loved Meghan McCain’s “I don’t wanna look backwards, I wanna look forwards” non-response to Maher’s probing about how her daddy felt after being run over by the Bush/Rover personal smear steamroller in South Carolina.
Begala’s French Revolution puppysmack was also splendid. And Kudos to Stein for being brave enough to put a tie on, even though he obviously has never worn such a piece of apparel in his life, ever.
And congrats to Juli on her first post as editrix.

19kevin8 June 20, 2009 at 2:34 pm

What the? A Saturday post on Wonkette? Yippee!

Didn’t Meg lose her virginity to Barry B.? Pre-steroids, of course!

OReillysVibrator June 20, 2009 at 2:42 pm

Man the McCains just don’t get it about throwing brutally ill-informed unprepared women out there to convince Republican ideology. Hope Johnny Mac doesn’t watch this, it’d give him PTSD about his most traumatic experience, the election.

El Bombastico June 20, 2009 at 2:44 pm

What sort of Russian porn aggregator is this link trying to put on my computer?

StoneAge June 20, 2009 at 2:49 pm

You know Joel Stein wants a piece of that 24-year-old ass, virginal or not.

proudgrampa June 20, 2009 at 2:55 pm

Who is Meghan McCain?

paintitblack June 20, 2009 at 3:00 pm

ummm, huh? GOP wimmin and relevance? Nah, don’t do that ona Sat… wake me when there’s morelikeit make-sexy-time this is reeeelly relevant stuff. Until then Meg McCan’t can eatta bagga dicks.

Harvey Birdman June 20, 2009 at 3:03 pm

My favorite part was when she claimed to know all of these closet case Republicans in Hollywood who were terrified of losing their careers. I mean, look as what HUAC did to Speidi.

orange June 20, 2009 at 3:19 pm

cindy and john should be fined for producing that.

CorkPopper June 20, 2009 at 3:23 pm

Oh my. For a minute there I thought she was going to cry, when she got that whiny edge to her voice about how all these mean people were giving her shit about talking to the big bad liberals. And no one wants to see that, especially given the truly prodigious amount black eyeliner she was wearing.

Do yourself a favor, Meggie. Stay off the teevee until you at least sound like you’ve matured past high school.

TeddyS June 20, 2009 at 3:51 pm

After the show, she was helped aboard her private sled and hauled away at a steady run by eight bare-chested SEALS from her mother’s stable of studs.

chascates June 20, 2009 at 4:00 pm

Juli! Juli! You’ve returned to us! So much for a ‘paycheck’ and ‘benefits,’ huh?

I enjoyed Meghan’s response concerning the worldwide attention giving to the Commander-in-Chief’s ‘no fly’ incident. As she noted, there are more important things going on now.

Oldskool June 20, 2009 at 4:03 pm

Hate to say it but she’s kind of endearing. If Micheal Steele had any brains he’d put her to use. In other words Dems have nothing to worry about.

smellyal8r June 20, 2009 at 4:19 pm

Boy, I thought having the Palins as the “second family” out there trashing the Naval Observatory was going to be the worst thing that could have happened. Turns out the First Family would have actually been worse than that. Dad an out-of-touch Navy veteran; Mom a pill-popping heiress and this as First Daughter. Thank God the American public stayed focused and gave us those delightful Huxtables.

TGY June 20, 2009 at 4:23 pm

One day, she’ll do something significant and we’ll all be very much surprised.

Jukesgrrl June 20, 2009 at 4:23 pm

Juli, that’s not a mistake on the guest list. The BBC commentator’s name really is Katty Kay, not Kitty, as you understandably typed. You know those English, they can never let go of their public-even-though-it’s-private school ways.

paintitblack June 20, 2009 at 4:24 pm

[re=343787]smellyal8r[/re]: GAH! true, dat.

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 20, 2009 at 4:26 pm

Yes, but did Meghan McCain loose her virginity to A-Rod? If not, I don’t see how she has any bona fides to discuss the brothel that is the House of Palin.

El Pinche June 20, 2009 at 4:36 pm

I do agree that the democrats are the new republicans. Oh, I’m not a virgin. And the current republicans are just a bunch of crazies.
sex. also.

Texan Bulldoggette June 20, 2009 at 4:46 pm

[re=343763]SayItWithWookies[/re]: “Begala’s French Revolution puppysmack was also splendid.”

I was drunk but still found that HI-LARIOUS. Then I notice she got all pouty & shut her mouth! I don’t know who’s reputation is built on a higher house of cards, hers or Snowbilly.

dennymcden June 20, 2009 at 4:52 pm

Now that Juli’s back, I’m not gay anymore.

WadISay June 20, 2009 at 5:07 pm

This settles the debate about whether or not Meg McCain thinks that having sex with barnyard animals and produce counts as having sex.

Bruno June 20, 2009 at 5:29 pm

Juli, since you are back, can you please use some of your Columbia connections to research Meghan’s years there. I’m certain there are some stories worthy of coming out from her college years. Not sure they have to do with her recent deflowering as noted here [re=343762]OReillysVibrator[/re]

TGY June 20, 2009 at 5:31 pm

[re=343795]dennymcden[/re]: Congratulations on your ability to switch hit.

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 20, 2009 at 5:41 pm

[re=343785]chascates[/re]: It is good to see Juli back after she was gone for FIVE AND A HALF WEEKS, CHASCATES, FIVE AND A HALF WEEKS!

Johnny Zhivago June 20, 2009 at 5:45 pm

Wasn’t Katty Kay blocked on the internet in China last week along with Garfield and Hello Kitty?

Johnny Zhivago June 20, 2009 at 5:49 pm

Is it true that Katty Kay was filling in for Meowsy McDermitt, who had a bad case of hairballs.

dennymcden June 20, 2009 at 6:03 pm

[re=343801]TGY[/re]: Only for interns. This IS a DC Gossip/War Blog, is it not?

ManchuCandidate June 20, 2009 at 6:38 pm

Meghan McCain got hosed by Paul Begala (WTF?!?!) about recent events so she knows what it was like to crash and burn a navy bomber. Only 4 more to go to equal daddy’s score.

Cinderella Boy June 20, 2009 at 6:51 pm

I would also concede that I usually find Meg endearing (or perhaps that’s the phallus talking), but last night was one big cringe. While pouting after the puppysmack, she exiled herself to the far corner & refused to smile during New Rules. They then punished her by not giving her a single close-up shot during the credits, even though that’s customary & everybody else got more than one.

Awkward, but I wonder if Maher hit it?

Also. Has anybody ever seen the youtoobz where Erik Estrada and Maher are on Win, Lose or Draw & Ponce celebrates & elbows him in the face, breaking his nose? I’ve seen it but can’t find it anywhere now.

Cinderella Boy June 20, 2009 at 7:08 pm

Thanks to whichever SEO dork answered my prayers:

3:02 or thereabouts

stumpycuse June 20, 2009 at 7:40 pm

Meghan McCain is a living, breathing, bobblehead…but, I’d still hit that.

hobospacejunkie June 20, 2009 at 10:51 pm

Thanks to this great review I will sit down & watch Mr. Smarmy’s Marihuana Comedie Revue. While Megh and her freshman 20 are reasonably attractive, I’d much rather fap to Naomi Klein. Her smile can light up whole metropolises. And I’m pretty sure she’s had sex already, too. Just not with me. That you know of.

melvin June 21, 2009 at 2:30 am

Like father, Like daughter.
Chris Matthews has been talking all week about Senator McCain hitting the idiot button, regarding the Iran situation. In honor of Fathers day, I guess Meghan wanted to hit that button about every other issue on the planet..

testiclease June 21, 2009 at 4:28 am

I laughed so hard at the 1st showing I had to watch again to catch the parts I missed. Still have to watch again. “I wasn’t alive during the French Revolution but I still know about it.” ROFLMAO. She’s the reason we have Blond jokes. yeah,,,I’d hit that, providing she doesn’t speak.

inedalo June 21, 2009 at 12:00 pm

Q: how can i watch this Maher Megan clip without installing some creature called Zango?
i don’t want any Zango on my data-machine. can someone please tell me how to watch
the marvelous Maher show using some other internetto access animal?

thanks much!

you can email me at inedal@yahoo.com

ExecutorElassus June 21, 2009 at 1:08 pm

Intern Juli, you came back to us! We promise, we’ll be better than we were last time! No more drinkin’ and whorin’! Honest!

I really wish John Waters would do a movie featuring Meghan: she’s just too perfect. Well, actually, she’d suck at it like everything else, but the Palins are booked :(

Big Liver June 21, 2009 at 3:11 pm

[re=344000]inedalo[/re]: Isn’t Zango some kind of evil malware/adware/spyware that wants to put software on your machine to report back to headquarters on your web surfing habits?

torera June 21, 2009 at 8:44 pm

Well I think Megan is really very brave to keep putting herself out there on the public airwaves and demonstrating what a total airhead she is.

carlyt June 22, 2009 at 11:32 am

McCain should not be a voice for moderate Republicans. Related post at http://iamsoannoyed.com/?p=1896

Ali June 25, 2009 at 3:25 am

what a joke she is–meg mccain, go away, or at least let the grownups talk. If something occurs before you are born, try picking up a book and educating that pea-sized brain of yours, rather than peddling little blondie excuses to do yourself credit. in her defense, she did have some not-worthless ideas about her overly-puritanical, abstinence-preaching party. but i doubt they will listen to her any more than progressives would to her lizard-like mom’s ultra-vapid statements on the trail, eg. …”when i heard obama mention terrorists i got a cold chill through my body…” etc. meg m is a bimbette with hardly enough brain cells to comprehend maher’s nuanced points. as for her not smiling during new rules, it was mostly over her head and she was confused, but she was def pouting. also, nice try playing the “i’m the only repub here and i’m blond, dont gang up on me” card. get lost

Ali June 25, 2009 at 3:27 am

ps. i’m not a virgin
