Meghan McCain: The Aqua Buddha would have been a much better SOTU teabag rebuttal talking head

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Meghan McCain, an outspoken critic of divisive rhetoric within both political parties, has some choice words for Tea Party darling Rep. Michele Bachmann.

When discussing Bachmann’s State of the Union response in an interview with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell she said, “I think its important to note that Michele Bachmann is not a leader. She not a leader of the Republican Party.” McCain added, “Michele Bachmann in my opinion is no better than a poor man’s Sarah Palin.”

Bachmann has been in the spotlight of late on cable news shows and blogs for publicly skewing facts about slavery and speaking to the wrong camera during her much-hyped SOTU response video.

“It is one rogue woman that can’t even look into the camera directly,” said McCain. “ I take none of it seriously and I think if the Tea Party wants to put a candidate up to give a response, why don’t they have someone like Rand Paul who was elected on the Tea Party platform give that.

1. She did not say "Aqua Budda"

The comments section is great:

Nasty Liberal
That is a cruel a cut as has ever been rendered in the English language: "A poor man's Sarah Palin"!

Good god, that's just... well, until now inconceivable!

6. Reminds me of the woman who said she liked shopping at her local

dollar store because "I don't have to get all dressed up, like when I go to Wal-Mart."

2. What is an Aqua Buddah?

3. It is some code for what the media does not want you to hear.

Not sure what it is code for. Could be many things.

4. I think that's overvaluing Sarah Palin quite a bit, but otherwise spot on.

8. I think Meghan's worried Bachmann might muscle in on her reality TV

What's with all these semi-reality TV pundits? Half the time I'm agreeing with them, half the time I worried they are trashing each other for fear the other person might start stealing their air time...
