Megan McCain: Republicans Don't Like Me Because I'm Young, I Have Tattoos, I Go to Biker Rallies, I Listen to Coldplay, and I Post Pictures of My Big Fake-Looking Push-Up-Bra'd Boobies on Twitter

The last bit I don't mind so much, mind you.

Not really sure where she's going with the Cheesecake Initiative.

She got a lot of negative comments, which she should have expected, because...

1) Democrats don't like her because she is, supposedly, a Republican.

2) Republicans don't like her because she is, in fact, a Democrat.

3) Pasty-faced soft-bodied dudes patrol the internet for pictures of women that they can disparage with a well-chosen "I would not hit that."

4) Cranky dudes (there is some overlap here with category 3) are kind of annoyed by the whole Paris Hilton sort of sexpot gambit.

5) A lot of people (such as myself) didn't really spend much time evaluating whether or not Megan McCain was attractive or hittable or cheesecake-worthy. A picture like this, however, sort of puts that question front and center, and she should have expected some number of people (especially from categories 1, 2, 3, and 4) to have come down on the "Negatory" side of the line. This is similar to the Michelle Obama thing -- were it not for the fact the Leftwing Media was constantly pronouncing her the most beautiful woman in the world (seriously -- they did), I would have felt no need to evaluate for myself if this claim was plausible or outright laughable. I just would have accepted her as a reasonably-attractive professional woman and not really thought too much further about it.

Anyway, she's mad that she got so many negative remarks:

After a string of comments the 24-year-old wrote: ‘so I took a fun picture not thinking anything about what I was wearing but apparently anything other than a pantsuit and I am a s***’

She added: ‘When I am alone in my apartment I wear tank tops and sweat pants, I had no idea this makes me a s***. I can’t even tell you how hurt I am.’
The blonde repeated her threat to delete her Twitter account - which is followed by nearly 60,000 people - before promising to ‘sleep on it’ and thanking a select few for their messages of support.

Picture (very mild content warning for light semi-newsworthy cheesecake) below the fold.
