Until her appearance on Colbert last night, I was only moderately aware of John McCain’s daughter Meghan. I knew she didn’t totally suck, because the evil Laura Ingraham was mean to her and she told her to kiss her ass or something, but I had no idea she was, like, all pro-gay marriage and pro-sex education and surprisingly articulate for a 24-year-old platinum blond Republican heiress! That part of her interview is neat, especially the moment when she realizes she just admitted to being sexually active and says “Oh my god my Dad is going to see this!”, but the best part is in the beginning when Stephen calls her out for Twittering about licking his face. Also, added bonus video: Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert lose their shit over KEYBOARD CAT!

Congratulations to Videogum pal Brad O’Farrell, who started the keyboard cat meme, for hitting the big time last night.

Gross! People still have sex?!?!?!? Gag me, JT!
I still dont get the keyboard cat thing.
And Meghan McCain didn’t come off as articulate. She came off like “really? you’re 24? not 19? REALLY?”
Meghan McCain is one of those Republicans taking a very critical look at the party, and for her troubles gets called a fat Valley girl. Meanwhile, David Frum just gets slurred with “Canadian”. It’s hard out there for a lady-conservative.
hey she was more articulate then some of the guests hes had on
expectations exceded,
also im am just loving that damn cat, he was on the soup the other day…
I love how they couldn’t even keep it together post-keyboard cat. Hopefully the first of many appearances
Congrats, Brad O’Farrell! Neat!
I think she came off as moderately articulate. I also love any sort of McCain dig(no matter how subtle) at any Palin.
Does embracing ideas that were way too liberal (and to some, still are) then – pro-gay marriage & pro-sex ed. – mean that she’s not that conservative if conservatives still bristle at that stuff now?
But really, all I want is to not have a crush on her and not be so fixated on the age difference between her and her folks. What would my parents and her parents even to talk about?
I thought the same thing. I just got used to hating all things McCain and now his daughter has to come off as having a more than average level of common sense and possibly intelligence. Maybe the Cubs might win the World Series this year. That or Jesus will be resurrected and rapture everyone but Obama supporters, allowing for us to have all the abortions, gay marriages, and health care we want. Ironically Obama will be raptured in the second coming of Jesus.
make us a keyboard cat promise, plz.
Well, I don’t consider myself “pro-sex,” but for her i would make an exception *wink wink**nudge nudge*
*wink*
PENISES AND VAGINA’S!
The keyboard cat meme reaches its height and then O’Reilly immediately kills it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpHsUIzk7HU
R.I.P.
I love how folks “don’t get” the keyboard cat. Which is the point. Why do people have to rationalize some just pure funny random shit.
I’m really confused. One of my friends asked me and I just stopped talking to them. It was just too many times they asked something stupid about a joke. Either you get it or you don’t.
It’s not that I don’t get it, it’s a cat playing a keyboard, and it’s funny. It’s more a matter of wanting to know where it originated. That’s just me, but I think that’s what most people mean about not getting it.
Life Rule #1: Never trust anyone who says, “I have a great relationship with God.”
And here she is worried what her DAD’s gonna think of her “pro-sex” stance! Ay dios mio!
McCain contradicts herself all the time. For someone who wants to talk about sex in a mature way, that whole interview sounded a lot more like the girls’ locker room — she giggles about her dad finding out she has a sex life and, she bashes Bristol Palin — who is younger than her by enough that it’s a little cruel.
I KNEW THAT YOUTUBE USERNAME “bradofarrell” SOUNDED FAMILIAR.
Oh god. Time to leave the house, Elliot.
Same here. And I did actually leave the house yesterday, it’s scary out there. Better to stay in here.
Meghan McCain is basically Ainsley Hayes now
Semi-automatic kissing machine. Hilarious.
