Meghan McCain Busty Twitter Photo Sparks Controversy

meghan-mccain-1The future of the GOP is quite well-endowed. According to the Wall Street Journal, John McCain’s daughter Meghan McCain, a Daily Beast columnist, posted a busty photo of herself on her Twitter last night that sparked plenty of retweets – and criticism.

The photo shows Meghan wearing strappy tank top and holding a copy of Andy Warhol’s biography. Her accompanying tweet described her “spontaneous night in.” Since she has tens of thousands of followers, the photo got around like a case of crabs, and she soon started posting messages to defend it: “So I took a fun picture not thinking anything about what I was wearing but apparently anything other than a pantsuit I am a slut,” she wrote, followed by “what once was fun now just seems like a vessel for harassment” and “when I am alone in my apartment, I wear tank tops and sweat pants, I had no idea this makes me a ‘slut,’ I can’t even tell you how hurt I am.”

Later, she added, “I do want to apologize to anyone that was offended by my twitpic, I have clearly made a huge mistake and am sorry 2 those that are offended.”

I think it’s silly for Conservatives to be offended by the pic – isn’t hotness the whole reason Sarah Palin got the VP nod? But it’s also a hella busty shot, Megs. You had to know that people were going to get riled up. Anybody think this is a big publicity stunt?
