Columbia grad (’07) and Hilary Duff look-a-like Meghan McCain has launched a blog chronicling her dad’s (Arizona Sen. John McCain) presidential campaign. Meghan, along with someone named La-Toria Haven whom Meghan calls a “political fashionista”, and Mary Anne Huntsman (Utah Gov. John Huntsman’s daughter), are “traveling on the road with Senator McCain’s campaign and [blogging] about our experiences along the way.”
Meghan’s blog certainly stands out from run-of-the-mill campaign coverage. For instance, in the graphics! Like the sassy, high-heeled silhouette clutching a lap top a la Carrie Bradshaw. Nothing says “Washington insider” like a red stiletto! And her ability to use art theory to draw insights about trends within the GOP:
“Both events were devoid of the usual mahogany associated with a political soiree. Sleek, clean lines featuring bold colors – retro-orange w/chrome furniture…As our (event) interiors evolve, so do our perspectives.”
But Meghan inarguably has unparalleled proximity to Senator McCain—insider information like “My dad has a gold razr phone” and “My Dad’s speech was peppered with an abundance of standup comedy. He was having way too much fun cracking jokes at my expense, showing off his ‘$150,000 screensaver’ on his cellphone which has a picture of us at my Columbia graduation on it!”
Oh Meghan stop, you’re making us blush.
Bet Barack Obama’s thanking his lucky stars that his kids, unlike Caroline, are still too young to embarrass him!

@ohmy this girl was in historiography class and by the time her final presentation came around she still had not understood that there is a difference between history and historiography.
@Dude Ten years as a history professor, and I still don’t know. Or care.
@what-a whore
@we can hope so
@Hmmmm I read the blog, I think she’s got real talent. And who wouldn’t want to read about what goes on behind the curtains at on Presidential Campaign?
I hope she lands a book deal out of this, she deserves to.
@hmm umm, how did she get the discount? more like $200,000 screensaver.
@gross She does not look like Hillary Duff (at all!).
@cupcake maybe haylie her ugly sister
@as much as mccain scares me… $150,000 screensaver is actually pretty funny…
@yes agreed. Say what you will about McCain (and I will), but he is a charming devil.
@You know, Meghan didn’t write the interiors thing. That gem comes from Ms. Haven.
@wow talk about Barely Legally Blonde.
@whoa who’s wearing more makeup in that picture, John McCain or his daughter?
@balla I mean there’s really only one question worth asking in a situation like this.
The answer is yes, I would do her. Possibly twice if it goes well the first time around.
@Sprinkles Republicans, LOL!
@anyone ever see this girl on campus?
@Anonymous Anyone know what this girl majored in? Please don’t say political science.
@CC '07 She majored in art history, and yes, I used to see her on campus frequently. She lived in CU housing for 4 years.
@yup she even lived in mcbain, which amused me for five seconds.
