‘Everyone on both sides of the media class — stop using my deceased father for political points and cheap shots,’ Meghan McCain declared on Twitter this week. ‘It is painful. It is traumatizing. And it is perverted. Let us all grieve and try and move on in peace!’
Well, as much as everyone would love to move on — it’s been nearly two years, after all — Meghan won’t let us.
A daughter’s love is a beautiful thing, and losing a father is always a terrible, traumatic event, even in your thirties. It’s decidedly more difficult when your father was a public figure, as people who never knew him

The column mentions "Cockburn"... without ever identifying him. Who is he? Why is he important in this banal column about MMcCain's relentless public obsession with her deceased father. We need another memorial service to commemorate the last one.

When your entire career is based on daddy, you mention daddy in every comment and daddy was a jerk, you can expect highly opinionated comments coming your way.

Make sure to watch the My Father video embedded in the story. Hysterical! Oh, honey child, you are so pathetic.

I can't stand her. She reminds me of every girl I've ever known who uses their father as both a shield and a cudgel but who has no discernible accomplishments of their own. Totally off-putting and nauseating.

Like father, like daughter. John McPain was oblivious to his glaring faults of being a major RINO and all-around pain-in-the-ass. Meghan is following in his footsteps, being myopic the same way.

Do you mean that gutless coward that gained weight in the POW camp? THAT daddy??? Or do you mean the back stabbing RINO that didn't know how to keep his traitorous mouth shut. THAT daddy??? OK... you first, Pork Chop.

She also denies/ignores the fact "her father" was the one who plotted against a sitting president like some fbi/cia weasel. He sold us deplorables down the health care river because he was a bitter nasty old man who resented having been shown to be inadequate.

If it wasn't for daddy, would anyone know who Meghan is? Kinda like Hillary. If it wasn't for Billy Jeff, would anyone know who she is?

Poster #1 & 2, same confusion here. The author is called Kapil Komireddi at the top of the article page but is listed as Cockburn on the other pages. Also, it is important that we not appear foolish and ill- informed - or downright dishonest. There is simply nothing but rumors and gossip to support the ideas that John McCain was responsible for the catastrophic USS Forestall fire or that he colluded with his captors in Vietnam Nam. He earned dislike for the many things he did that were unethical as a member of the House and Senate but he did some heroic things as a naval officer. His daughter loves him but why shouldn’t she? She’s a talentless Daddy’s girl who is rich and famous because she’s John McCain’s daughter.

Meghan is a chip off the old block=utterly narcissistic and in thrawl to the big lights. That she has a media platform as all says a lot about the stupidity of the culture.

You first, Meghan. Your father was a terrible man. Get over the hero stuff, and shut up! Nobody cares about you or your dad.

Don't know why, but the headline reminded me of the John Cleese and Michael Palin skit about a parrot.

McVain was in one of the aircraft struck by the Zuni rocket that started the fire on USS Forrestal; he was in no way at fault there. He did plenty of documented damage to our freedoms while camping out in the Senate without gilding the lily.

(Obmacare) NO! McCain screwed the entire country because he could, out of petty spite and bitterness. Glad he's your father, Meghan, and not mine.

I don't believe her use of "my father" is a part of her grieving. I realize everyone grieves differently, but I could not talk about my father for 5 years without tearing up. She uses "my father" as part of her self promotion and relevance.

I agree with #8. Meghan is a Beautiful young lady, but her weight is ruining her life. She is on TV where everyone can constantly critic her size. She is a prefect candidate for weight loss surgery. She would be much happier if she was happy with the way she looks. She has the money. Take a month off and do something for yourself. She has a good looking, successful husband. She could have it all, and be happy instead of always looking like she is ready to cry. I feel sorry for her!

McPain was a useful idiot to the Left. That's why they keep exhuming him.

In his life, McCain was ALL about media points and cheap shots, so why not.
Sorry, Megan, but while you see your father as a shining paradignm of virtue, most of the rest of us have scars in our political backs from his knives.
We remember a backstabbing, arrogant, self-serving SOB, and no matter what good things he may have done in prison camp, (even those are disputed by some) his poor grade USN work, and "do you know who I am" attitude before the POW time, and his nastiness and corruption, and backstabbing the party afterwards leaves a really nasty memory for us.

Beauty is as beauty does. Meghan has more problems than her weight. With all the advantages this lady grew up with, she acts like whiny brat mad that people are simply over her father. She liked it when Republicans would never cross her media-loving Dad because they feared retribution.

I ADMIRE John McCain the Naval Aviator.
Watch the video on Youtube..... McCain's aircraft was hit by a missile while on deck on the Forestall, he did NOT cause the fire.
I LOATHE John McCain the Senator. He was in love with the Fawning Leftist Media Spotlight, and did everything he could to sabotage President George W. Bush and have the media fawn over him. When his health failed, he should have retired, but he clung to his Power until he died. Even at the end, his performance, being the deciding vote on the ObamaCare repeal, his All In The Spotlight 'Thumbs Down' on the repeal, condemning 300 million people to Leftist Obamacare, was McCain Showboating for the Media Spotlight. I'm GLAD that he's GONE.
Meghan, you want your Dad to 'Rest In Peace'...... SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE about him!
You are the living embodiment of the saying "How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away?"
As far as I know, YOU have done NOTHING, yourself. You Ride the Coat-tails of your Deceased Father.
DO NOT MENTION HIS NAME AGAIN!

Remember Megan, you'd be nothing without your fathers last name. Your father is to be commended for his military service to our county. Beyond that, he was a despicable man and was thought of as a traitor to his political party.
