Meghan McCain: How Dare Gingrich Call Me "Clueless"

She attacks Gingrich anew as "sexist," "disgusting," and "lame," all for Gingrich's comment about her -- "How would she have a clue?"

And why would Gingrich say that? Because Meghan McCain had previously attacked him.

IMUS: Well, Newt, Newt has the luxury of being really smart, I think. But so personally repulsive, and so much—

MCCAIN: I don’t like him.

IMUS: No, of course, who does? You go in and your wife is dying of cancer in the hospital and you’re presented with divorce papers. No, you’re a creep.

MCCAIN: Yeah, you’re, obviously

IMUS: And hounded poor ole Bill Clinton out of office over perjury I realize, but you’re having an affair at the same time?

MCCAIN: I mean, a little before my time, but yes.

IMUS: So was the French revolution, but you know about it, don’t you?

MCCAIN: I know.

IMUS: OK.

MCCAIN: I have been told to me before. That has been said to me before. I know about it. But, I just don’t care about Newt Gingrich. He’s so passé and I don’t agree with a lot of the things he says.

IMUS: But don’t say when somebody says to you, “That’s a little before my time.” Well, a lot of

MCCAIN: You’re like my father. Every time I come on it’s like being lectured by my father, literally. But I’m saying he is not relevant. Newt Gingrich is not pop-culturally relevant to my generation who I’m trying to get involved in politics. You see what I’m saying?

IMUS: He’s running for president. Hello?

Yes, Imus is like her father, in that he is insistent that Meghan McCain is quite wrong when she claims "If it hasn't happened since JT released SexyBack, that it's irrelevant to political history."

What old coots!

So why would Gingrich ask if this person even has a clue? This person, who is given over to saying that candidates are not, and I quote, "pop-culturally relevant to my generation"?

Meghan McCain's schtick -- the pretext for hiring this dolt in the first place -- is that, while she doesn't know anything about anything (and is paraliterate, which is word I'm coining -- not subliterate per se, but apparently writing in a language which bears resemblances to English, but is not in fact English) she is "young" and can speak for "her generation."

And she rides that pony to death. All she knows is that she's young. (But will be moving out of the "young" category in three years and Oh boy I cannot wait for that!) And so everything is this proudly retarded sneer: If it happened in the nineties, I don't care; it's not "pop-culturally-relevant" to me.

As if we're talking about Martha Quinn and the first MTV VJs.

And for questioning whether this paraliterate, bubbleheaded dolt has a clue or not, Gingrich gets a stream of fresh insults -- disgusting, sexist, ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous at all to ask what a borderline-stupid uneducated dunce of a teenybopper has done, or has studied, to be qualified for whatever new job the Nincompoop Nepot gets.
