Meghan McCain would be well advised to stop exercising her First Amendment rights and instead invoke her Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, as determined under Miranda v. Arizona. Everything she says can and will be used against her in the court of public opinion.
The title of her latest column for Tina Brown's Daily Beast is "Don't Call Me a Slut." Well, one can't prove a negative, so if at this late point in her juvenile punditry career she has decided to stake her claim on a reputation for spotless chastity, perhaps she'll call character witnesses to attest her non-sluttishness. And good luck with that.
As to the other memorable claims of her Daily Beastliness, Ms. Meghan suggests that she is being criticized merely "because I have breasts," a trait she shares with 51% of adult humanity. This absurd assertion requires correction:
It was not Meghan's possession of large breasts, nor her display thereof, which has been the object of criticism. Rather, it was her childish online tantrum -- "getting the f**k off Twitter," she whined -- in reaction to online rudeness that enhanced her laughingstock status.
Excuse the asterisk-starred obscenity, but Ms. Meghan's online ouevre involves quite a copious output of epithets. Don't worry about those nasty blog commenters, sweetheart. I've warned them repeatedly: NO FAT JOKES!
And also, DON'T CALL HER A SLUT!
(Is it my fault they don't all obey me?)
