Laura Ingraham mocks Meghan McCain as being ‘plus-sized.’

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

Last night, Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) daughter, Meghan McCain, appeared on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show, where she continued to criticize Ann Coulter. On her radio show today, Laura Ingraham responded to McCain’s critique of far right conservatives, saying that she is “just another Valley Girl gone awry.” In a mocking faux-Valley Girl voice, Ingraham made fun of McCain’s body, joking that she didn’t get a “role in the Real World” because “they don’t like plus-sized models”:

MCCAIN (on MSNBC): And I think there’s an extreme on both parties and I hate extreme. I don’t understand. I have friends that are the most radically conservative and radically liberal people possibly ever and we all get along. We can find a middle ground.

INGRAHAM (mocking): Ok, I was really hoping that I was going to get that role in the Real World, but then I realized that, well, they don’t like plus-sized models. They only like the women who look a certain way. And on this 50th anniversary of Barbie, I really have something to say.

In the past, McCain has said that she is “proud” of her body. Last summer, she told Glamour, “I got to a point where I was like, I just don’t care. You think I’m fat? Fine. I don’t care how much you weigh.”

Transcript:

INGRAHAM (mocking): Ok, Meghan. Do you think that anyone would be talking to you if you weren’t kind of cute and you weren’t the daughter of John McCain? Or do you just think that they would just think that you were just another Valley Girl gone awry?

MADDOW: You picked a fight with somebody who’s definitely going to fight back.

MCCAIN: Yeah. Well, if it was, you know, if it was too hot in the kitchen, I’d get out. I know what I’m doing and I know that I’m creating, she probably will respond, she already has, but I’m sure she’ll respond harder, but this dialogue should take place. It should. I think that you know, often times and I think it’s relevant because I am a Republican. I still consider myself a Republican and that’s why it’s relevant because I’m someone within the party.

INGRAHAM (mocking): How long before she totally totally abandons the Daily Beast and makes it official at the Huffington Post?

MCCAIN: And I think there’s an extreme on both parties and I hate extreme. I don’t understand. I have friends that are the most radically conservative and radically liberal people possibly ever and we all get along. We can find a middle ground.

INGRAHAM (mocking): Ok, I was really hoping that I was going to get that role in the Real World, but then I realized that, well, they don’t like plus-sized models. They only like the women who look a certain way. And on this 50th anniversary of Barbie, I really have something to say.


Ingraham attacked McCain in an appearance on Fox and Friends earlier this week as well, saying "Our economic lives are in a shamble, Megan: We don’t really care about your dating life.”

1. Well, that certainly invalidates her political views!

:sarcasm:

What did Laura have to say about Rush Limbaugh?

[Lost in CT]

2. I think Ingram may want to revisit the definition of Plus-size.

[TheDebbieDee]

3. I can't believe that Laura Ingraham, a breast cancer survivor,

would make fun of any other woman's body shape. Ms. Ingraham is one CLASSY 8itch!

[Berry Cool]

10. Surviving cancer doesn't have a positive effect on everyone.

It makes some people more cognizant of what really matters in life. Others it just turns bitterer and meaner than they already were.

Guess which one Laura Ingraham is.

Never make the mistake of thinking cancer transforms people into saints.

[muntrv]

4. Plus sized? Like the fecal matter in Laura's head?

[midnight]

5. Well if Laura thinks Megan has a weight issue, what must think

of Rush?

7. I predict a Worst Person award in Laura's future

You know, when you have nothing else to criticize someone for, go after their looks. Yeah, that's the ticket.

[Canuckistanian]

8. Laura Ingraham is a sophomoric jerk

Literally. If you listen to her show, she's always criticizing people's looks, how they talk, and there's NO rumour about a prominent Dem that she won't discuss for HOURS in excruciating detail.

She's like the eternally snarky know-it-all you met in college, but never grew up or attained AN OUNCE of maturity.

[malaise]

9. I love how they eat their own

This was way too easy to predict.

[camera obscura]

11. Making fun of a girl half her age, what a class act.

[Cha]

12. Never thought I'd stand up for

ol' Meghan girl but here goes...what a fucking blowhard, laura ingraham is with her little catty shit.

[Lavender Brown]

13. The definition of repugnant

These are the people who criticized the Democrats for even alluding to Palin's family, but they feel free to be downright revolting when it comes to anyone who challenges them - even another Republican. :puke:

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

14. meghan's response:

[Lex]

20. Cool. "Laura Ingraham please stop talking about my body . . . "

:thumbsup:

I'm starting to like Meghan even though I don't agree with her politics at all.

[madrchsod]

15. once again megan proves she`s the smartest republican spokesperson

ingraham is a ....

[City of Mills]

16. Time for a classic video

Laura Ingraham is a beautiful woman.

That is, if beautiful means horrible!

"Don't come in my ear!"

Look at that face...and that voice...my god...I'd slit my wrists if I had to spend five minutes in the same room as this creature.

[sohndrsmith]

17. That's just - actually, it's nothing but predictable. I was extremely impressed with

Ms. McCain and wondered if she would end up being the most formidable party foe in the coming years.

Why are so many in the GOP intimidated by intelligence, logic and reason? They would have lauded her as the next Sarah Palin had she been spitting fire and throwing 2nd grade style insults at Rachel and Dems in general. Good grief....

[suede1]

18. What an ass.

[marmar]

19. I guess they can't find a legitimate quibble with what she said.....

..... so like any collection of morons, they start picking on physical appearance or mannerisms or whatever. Pit-i-ful!!!

[Lex]

21. Which is exactly why I objected to calling Rush out about being fat when it's really

his repugnant politics and outright stupidity and racism, homophobia, and misogyny.

[LatteLibertine]

22. I saw Meghan on Rachel's show

Meghan declined on offering comments on the economy because she said she wasn't knowledgeable in the field and hadn't studied it. Too bad her father can't admit the same thing consistently.

Laura's got the claws out because she believes Meghan is behaving like a "traitor".

[Blackhatjack]

23. Better to have a plus-sized body than an undersized brain like Ingraham...n/t
