Dirty Sexy Politics

So while I was getting ready for work this morning, I caught part of an interview with Meghan McCain (daughter of John Mccain). She has a new book out talking about her experiences during her father's run for the White House. Supposed to be a quick, entertaining read. But I gleaned this great quote from her this morning when she was talking about how discouraging it is for young people and women specifically to go into politics. She said that when she began speaking out on various topics, the media reaction was, "Oh that's Meghan McCain. She's a size 12. She's too fat to talk!" And yet, she is out there talking; not a serious politico, but finding her own voice in spite of superficial criticism. BTW, she says she'd support Mitt Romney in the next election.....
