Meghan McCain is right. Karl Rove is creepy. We've written that, among other things about Rove, for years. But, it's one thing for AMERICAblog to blast Rove. It's a whole new ball game when GOP activist Meghan McCain takes on the creepy GOP establishment so publicly:
Karl Rove follows me on Twitter. That’s creepy. I joined Twitter a few months ago; so far, it has been a liberating way to transition from political to personal blogging. It’s allowed me to share the less serious aspects and humorously uncensored moments of my life. But there’s also been a downside: I am now being followed by Karl Rove, and my local sheriff, and God knows how many other political pundits. We need to take Twitter back from the creepy people.Rove isn't the only Republican who offends McCain. She also calls Maricopa County's infamous sheriff, Joe Arpaio (truly one of the nastier elected officials in the country) a "Twitter Creep." He's following her, too.
And, speaking of creeps, Ms. McCain spoke this past weekend at the gathering of gay Republicans. Sam Stein reported that Meghan was a big hit as she railed against the GOP:
Speaking to an affectionate crowd of Log Cabin Republicans on Saturday evening, Meghan McCain ridiculed the party her father headed this past election, declaring that "old school Republicans" were "scared shitless" of the changing landscape.They loved her! They really loved her!!
The Senator's daughter, who has quickly become something of an iconic figure in the gay conservative community since the end of the election, took repeated shots at the GOP for its antiquated mores.
Let's see who stands with Meghan in her battle against the GOP's creeps. Looks like she has no intention of backing down. This is going to be fun to watch.
