Now This McCain Is Worth Listening To

Aside from her supporting the war against global warming, Meghan McCain, the daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), recently commented on "The Daily Beast" regarding her support of gay marriage and stem cell research. She also labeled President Obama as "the hippest politician around" and described being a Republican "as edgy as Donny Osmond". However, what is fabulous about McCain's statements are her remarks concerning Ann Coulter:

• "I find her offensive, radical, insulting and confusing all at the same time."
• "She was one of the headliners at the recent [Conservative Political Action Conference] (but when your competition is a teenager who has a dream about the Republican Party and Stephen Baldwin, it’s not really saying that much)."
• "Coulter could be the poster woman for the most extreme side of the Republican Party."
• "Are some of her statements just gimmicks to gain publicity for her books or does she actually believe the things she says? Does she really believe all Jewish people should be 'perfected' and become Christians? And what was she thinking when she said Hillary Clinton was more conservative than my father during the last election?"
• "More so than my ideological differences with Ann Coulter, I don’t like her demeanor. I have never been a person who was attracted to hate or negativity. I don’t believe in scare tactics and would never condone or encourage anyone calling President Obama a Muslim. But controversy sells and Coulter is nothing if not controversial. Everything about her is extreme: her voice, her interview tactics and especially the public statements she makes about liberals. Maybe her popularity stems from the fact that watching her is sometimes like watching a train wreck."
• "I hope viewers understand Ann Coulter is not the woman we Republicans need representing us right now."

By the way, McCain asked Coulter to comment on her column but Coulter did not reply to McCain's request.
