Megan McCain

Meghan McCain, appearing on the Today Show, made one of the most egotistical and ignorant statements I've ever heard.  It was stunning in its thoughtlessness and dismissive of the sacrifice of millions of people with loved ones serving in the Middle East.

 

When asked what she thinks when Barack Obama and others say her father doesn't "get it" she said,

I think my father gets it more than anyone.  I mean, my family — I have two brothers serving in the military. One is about to redeploy to Iraq.   My father is obviously a famous war hero. No one knows what war is like other than my family, period.

(Emphasis mine.) She then went on to point out that Sarah Palin's son, Track, is deploying to Iraq on September 11th. 

Meghan, we need to talk.
