Reply #26: Bill Maher already skewered her wine cooler story

[Nevernose]

I don't see anything particularly wrong with discussing a young woman who has thrust herself into the limelight, and not just because she's a Republican politician's kid: interviews and articles and TV appearances. Hell, at this point she's a published author. Since she and her family are so publically critical of everything I stand for or believe in, I don't see anything wrong with pointing out her many faults on an Internet message board. They're not going to go away, even if we ignore them. I vote for continuing to speak truth to power and not pretending like it'll all be okay or none of them matter.

The sad thing is that, even if this particular 20 year old DID have something to say about her life, we already know that most of what's in this book is bullshit.

From the stuff already leaked:
Didn't know wine coolers had alcohol, didn't mean to drink them, and didn't remember what happened -- the first time (and implying that your child's father is a date rapist because you're embarrassed to admit that you enjoy sex as much as everyone else does -- classy).

Claimed that Cindy McCain, a woman worth hundreds of millions of dollars, behaved exactly like a woman worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

As the OP pointed out, Bristol criticizes the McCain family for wearing expensive clothes and make-up, despite the well documented fact that her family did the exact same thing. There was even a minor scandle about it. Hell, Bristol's probably wearing expensive stuff right now.

She's oh-so-terribly offended when Meagan McCain -- a grown woman of manners, education, and accomplishment -- isn't paying enough attention to the pregnant teen bride who happens to be the child of one of her dad's work acquantances.

What is it with this family?
