A: There is something important about it?

Look as an old married man heading toward 50 I have plenty of admiration for particular parts of the female anatomy and Miss McCain is an attractive young woman but she simply has the misfortune to have been born in the age of digital camera and twitter so the small jokes and fun pictures that get shared are going to be well, everywhere.

Yeah I know she should know it would get out there but who cares? She was having fun, I’m still young enough to remember fun, I liked it. Fun was and is good. It’s a dumb fun picture, no drugs, no sex tape, no drunkenness. Lets all get a life here.

Yeah her politics are a bit off and the direction she thinks the republican party should go is off so what? We’ll address that topic when it is relevant it’s not here, cripes you’d think she was in a girls gone wild video.

Are guys going to look at the shot? YES! Are they going to “admire it” YES! Should she have realized this? Well DUH! Does that make her a slut? Nope!

Now if decide you are going to have a privileged attitude be prepared to be hit for it. That is Kosher and Robert Stacy has fun with it.

Whatever. Meghan McCain not a victim. She the heiress to a fortune and the daughter of a powerful U.S. Senator. She is also spoiled rotten and arrogant, lecturing the world at Tina Brown’s Daily Beast without any more qualification than her family name and an Ivy League diploma.

For someone like that to play the victim card — “Boo hoo hoo! people said mean things about me!” — is absurd, and reminds me of what I wrote at the Green Room today:

Nothing is quite so annoying as fake victimhood: Overprivileged people trying to elicit sympathy in the Oprah Age by claiming they are victimized by something that doesn’t actually harm them at all.

“Sticks and stones,” OK? Grow up.

In fact his is having a LOT of fun with it.

He will doubtless send her thank you notes for the hits he will get from the: Megan McCain boobs, Megan McCain tits, Megan McCain breasts, Megan McCain pics et/al google bombs that will produce a ton of hits for him. Will it match the Mika Brzenzinski bikini pics hits? Perish the thought!

I’m reminded of the line from Happy Days:

Fonz: I have one thing to say to you shortcake, If you put out an advertisement someone is going to answer that ad

Hey she’s a nice looking young girl who has a lot to learn about life, hopefully sooner or later she’s find the right guy and will settle down. If my sons were older I’d recommended them, but until then I have some bits of advice for her:

#1. Hey enjoy life, have fun. I remember fun, fun is good. Enjoy your youth responsibly.

#2 Remember count your blessings, particularly when you have a ton of them, instead of complaining about stuff and people. That makes you seem petty.

#3 If you are going to engage in the market of ideas you have to be prepared to defend them and take the hits. That’s part of the job description. If you can’t do so then find something else you want to do.

and finally

#4 My father always told me this and I’ll repeat it to you:

“Profanity is the attempt of a weak and feeble mind to express itself forcibly”

That should do it.

Profanity for the sake of profanity isn’t cool, particularly from a young lady. (Yes that opinion dates me, I don’t care).

A: The US administration is in shock and our foes say Awwwwwwww.

Five years ago, Ghaddafi fell all over himself to put himself in the good graces of the US after watching us uproot Saddam Hussein from a rathole in Tikrit. He disclosed Libya’s nascent nuclear program and its connection to the AQ Khan network and dismantled it, sending us the parts for verification. He pledged to fight international terrorism and stop supporting it.

Now, in the era of “smart power” and reset buttons, Ghaddafi not only releases radical Islamist terrorists, he announces to the world that he’s letting al-Qaeda terrorists get back to the battlefield. Iraq certainly has to worry that the AQI terrorists will return to bolster the tattered remnants of the foreign insurgency, which has been all but forgotten of late here in the US with the Afghanistan question still left unresolved. Of course, Libya will let the Afghanistan-based AQ terrorists get back to that battlefield, too.

Ah the joys of Obama.

A: Because on MSNBC’s Morning Joe they referred to the Democratic House as a “Culture of Corruption”.

Now where have I heard those words before?

My review here (well actually here).

Take that meat and cook it.

Answer: Apparently as a man who has “ineffective assistance of counsel.”

Maybe it’s just me but if I have a defendant who takes the stand with a Hitler mustache and says he’s glad for what he’s done and he will do it again I’d say that a closing Argument by Clarance Darrow or even Perry Mason wouldn’t make a difference.

As Althouse notes Scalia asked:

“What would you have done? It makes sense logically to say he has the worst defendant he has ever seen. He’s murdered lots of people in cold blood. He gets up on the stand and says, ‘I’m going to kill a lot more.’ He sounds totally bonkers.”

but Sotomayor saw it differently:

remarking on the lawyer’s strategy of using the crimes themselves as evidence of mental illness”: “At some point you can have a strategy and execute it so poorly, so incompetently, that you’re providing ineffective assistance of counsel.”

If this is a “wise Latina” I’m afraid to see what a blithering idiot would be like.
