Meghan McCain: "Both Sides" Wannabe Tough Chick

[OnTime 4.1k]

"Merry, Merry - I love holiday theme attire... "

Well, Meghan we all love holiday theme attire when it looks good.

I don't think you should say you love holiday theme attire of plaid shoes, jacket, cape/coat and something on the head of an overweight person. We don't love it!

She needs to clean the dust off of her mirror. 

And make her bed!  I always laugh at these mirror selfies that I see, because the person taking them really pays no notice to what's in the background - unmade beds, dirty mirrors, cluttered, messy bedrooms/bathrooms (I've even seen a naked or towel-garbed spouse in the background).  And, she's overdoing the plaid just a bit with that outfit - everything is sooo extra with Meghan!

It was way too matchy matchy.  One piece of plaid would have been fine but the jacket the shoes and coat was just too much.

[Jaded 26.0k]

That plaid looked like something she would have worn as a rich bitch teen thinking she looked great. It's obvious that's still part of her mindset. If that's her bedroom in the background it doesn't look very patriotic instead it looks bland. I found these photos from 2015 from an LA Times house tour which shows the interior of her LA abode back then. I thought there was a video or photos of her current NY pad sometime back but had trouble finding anything online. Instead all the results were either stories about her father's death or her parents real estate holdings from 2008.

Meghan McCain Defends Posting Christmas Message to Her Late Father John McCain
 

I don't think there's any stigma about talking about grief, death or cancer, but like many things, there are times and places to address the issue. Any platform is not an effective platform. Meghan wants to continue talking about these things because it's a way for her to talk about herself and make it seem like she's doing something for the greater good. I know not all experiences are the same but I have yet to meet anyone who had a harder time dealing with the death of a loved one who was very sick than they did dealing with the actual care of that loved one while alive and suffering.  When it comes down to it, grief is a selfish feeling...it has less to do with the deceased and more to do with how you feel about them not being around anymore and I say that with no judgment because I have experienced grief myself. It's a natural feeling when dealing with any kind of loss but not every forum is appropriate. Most people can't show up to work and constantly interject about their grief, death, and cancer as they like or make it about themselves during a toast at someone else's wedding. If constantly being in your feelings and talking about it is stalling your progress in the stages of grief and learning to cope, then guess what, you're doing a disservice to your own well being. Again, there is value in encouraging people to seek help and support from professionals, family, and/or friends but as I mentioned already, Meghan's approach doesn't seem like an attempt to de-stigmatize or take her own experiences to help others - it seems like she's pretending to have a social cause to take up so that she can continue talking about herself and attempting to shame others who are willing to call it out.

[blondiec0332 21.9k]

Let's face it.  If her dad hadn't died she would not be getting the media attention she is getting.  I'm sure she is genuinely grieving her father but IMO her public over the top grieving is tacky at best and calculated at worst.  She is not doing herself (and us) any favors by wallowing. And she is wallowing.  It would be one thing if she would say I'm trying to move on and it's tough but she isn't doing that.  She is always talking about missing him and how she is lost without him.  It's like grief has become a competition for her and she is bound and determined to win.  I wonder what she is like in private with friends and family.  Is she constantly talking about her grief or is it just a public display?

I'd like to get into a time machine and go back to my life before I read that article because that was a profile of a human being who sniffs their own farts and has a transcriber/enabler who works for the Los Angeles Times to reinforce the notion to the general population that said farts bear the distinct fragrance of an English country garden. She's nothing more than a basic bitch who hired a half-wit decorator who seemed to have been cut off from funding midway through the project so MM decided that expensive handbags and an unused Louis Vuitton day planner would suffice as objets d'art in her otherwise crappy apartment that makes a bungalow in Melrose Place look like a suite at the Mandarin.

She looks like a bored suburban hausfrau suffering from a case of trying-too-hard-to-be-cool in those photos.

That outfit was too much, and as someone said, too matchy-matchy, but I agree that in real life, she dresses so much younger, more flattering, and cuter than she does on the show. I am much more fond of non-View Meghan. It's like she's playing a character on the show.

Well said, RHJunkie. I agree, especially : 

If MM ever mentioned anyone other than herself and her dad in this grief bath, it might seem genuine.

If MM ever listed helpful activities, websites,  books, etc...that would help with grieving, it might seem less self-serving. 

Let's face it,  MM is going to use any vehicle and/or social term to keep HER name out there in the D-list celebrity zone.  

Her tweets are pap. Treacle. Eye-rolling dreck. And it's going to continue for years...................

ABC needs to let her go to grieve since that's her new claim to fame.

yes, all her statements, all her tweets, are about HER suffering.  I hate to sound unsympathetic, but, when a person over 80 has been battling cancer for a decade, their life did not suddenly come to an end, it's more like a gradual fading out. As adults, we know and expect that the older generations are not going to be around forever.  Yes, it hurts to lose someone, but it's not unique, EVERYONE goes through it.    Maybe instead of all her self-serving statements of support to strangers on twitter,  she could reach out to members of her own family and support THEM.

Wow, an animal head in her kitchen, counter stools covered in animal skins, horns and skulls used as décor.   Sorry, I find dead animal parts used as decoration to be creepy.   I'd be afraid to sit at that kitchen counter anyway, it looks like the sharp edges would snag my clothes and scratch up my knees. 

And seriously, she displays shot glasses with GOP elephants on them?  That cracked me up.  I'm going to get out all my "souvenir of Disney world"  coffee cups and display them on a shelf.

Only in HER mind is grief, cancer, and whatever else she posted, are considered taboo subjects/stigmas. Like you said, it's all about HER. And I'll say it: It IS a STIGMA--but against HER SELF-ABSORBED NARCISSTIC ASS, and making it all about HERSELF. As if she is the ONLY person to have lost a loved one to cancer. Or is the ONLY one who knows grief.

Yeah, I don't get it.  I have posted before, I was Meghan's age when my father died. I was thirteen when my brother died. There is no taboo around grieving, it is the thing that people have been doing as long as people have lived and died.  She is for some reason trying to make it a thing.

I found elsewhere a description of how someone views The View in ten years time, and it's pretty accurate with it's projection for how Meghan will be, haha. I'm not sure I think she's going to last that long, but if she did, well:

---
"In keeping with tradition The Heiress McCain will say "my dad" within the first 6 minutes of the show regardless of the topic at hand and will continue to mention her dad at least every 10 minutes thereafter, the panel will be comprised of all Fox News rejects along with her buddy Clay Aiken, her nazi husband will be EP, she will still have white dots in the corner of her eyes thinking they make her look younger (and because the m/u dept still hates her), she will be at least 30 lbs heavier and wearing unflattering skin tight clothing (because wardrobe dept still hates her), she will have given birth once and adopted one too, she will cut the mic of anyone who disagrees with her, she will remind everyone she is the voice of middle America at least twice during the hour.

"Also, forgot to mention (and most importantly) there will be a shrine to her father center stage that all the panel must genuflect to before they take their seats at the beginning. The Heiress will walk (stomp) out last and will genuflect the longest and speak to the shrine before climbing into her chair and having to wipe away tears and compose herself while her Fox News pageant reject buddies pat her hand and tell her to take her time as they know how hard it is for her it only being a decade since the tragedy. This will be a daily ritual with several special extra long tributes through out the year (his bday, anniversary of death, anniv of his run for presidency, anniv of his loss of presidency, etc.)"

Like njbchlover mentioned upthread, I too rarely look at the idiot in the picture who is taking the selfie and instead focus on everything else going on in the room.  First thing I noticed in this picture, after the already mentioned very dusty mirror,  is the really bad paint job where the grey wall meets the white baseboard in the corner.  Somebody skipped the painter's tape, I see.  Grey paint bleeding into the white.  Sloppy work!

A 26 year old writer who worked with Meghan's husband died very suddenly of the flu last week.  Meghan wrote that she and Ben were "gutted" by her death.  I was wondering if that would help Meghan put her 81 year old father's death in perspective, but, obviously it did not.  Hers is the greatest loss of all time.

I believe it's his special place in Arizona near his home, where he used to sit. If I'm inferring correctly from what others have said, it is where he died.

My brother in Arizona keeps sending me photos of his kids playing in a good amount of snow (esp. for them!), so I believe parts of Arizona are snow-covered, or recently were.

Illegitimi non carborundum was one of Sen. McCain's favorite sayings, and that's why Meghan is tweeting it in his memory.
