Time to Make a "Love Connection"
Ace of Spades HQ — ... cars is a Prius? But Ms. McCain's writing gig at the Daily Beast seems to be solely based on the fact that her Daddy ran for president last year.

Meghan McCain on Coulter: 'offensive' and 'insulting'
Michael Calderone's Blog — Meghan McCain gets off the topic of dating today on The Daily Beast, instead taking shots at Ann Coulter. The Senator's daughter calls Coulter "offensive, radical, insulting, and confusing all at the same time."

Unfortunately, even though Ingraham is more than 20 years older than I and has been a political pundit for longer, almost, than I have been alive, she responded in a form that was embarrassing to herself and to any woman listening to her radio program who was not a size 0. I fail to see how pointing out Ingraham's advanced age and calling her argument petty in the same breath is productive. Also, her sudden seriousness clashes with her use of Daily Beast as a personal dating site . But, in essence, McCain is right: Ingraham was ...
