John McCain's blond blogger daughter, Meghan, is under tremendous pressure from her readers (and apparently the public at large, no pun intended) to shed a few pounds, Nicole Richie style.
Madeline Holler at Political Nanny has been covering this breaking new development in the Republican Presidential race. Oh wait, that's over, so this is about the only thing left to talk about: a skinny girl "needing" to lose weight.
Not only is it untrue that she's got some junk in the trunk, it needs to be said that even if she did, that has nothing to do with whether she's hot or not. There are plenty of very sexy, very doable women out there that are slightly overweight... like... like... well, do Scarlett Johansson's boobs count? They're pretty heavy.
Seriously, where do these people get off? (We've included most of McCain Blogette's entire post, below, since it's one of the most positive things to come out of the GOP camps this entire campaign. Dig[g] it.)
I've been surprised by critical comments regarding my weight and body shape. It recently reached a ridiculous level when someone handed me a business card for a plastic surgeon and suggested I needed liposuction. I am proud of my curves and have always loved my fuller figure, as should every woman who is not a size "0". I want to be a positive role model for my little sister and all of the other young women who read my blog and help perpetuate a more positive image for women, regardless of their body size. I feel empowered to tell everyone that it's important to maintain a healthy weight that works for them - not everyone is going to be model thin, nor should they expect to be. To every young girl reading this blog, it is inner beauty and happiness that makes a person beautiful, not a number on a scale.
Unfortunatley, she kills much of our good feeling for her by adding that her song of the day is "Feeling Good" by Michael Buble. Yawn.
