Last night, Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) daughter, Meghan McCain, appeared on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show, where she continued to criticize Ann Coulter.

On her radio show, Laura Ingraham responded to McCain’s critique of far right conservatives, saying that she is “just another Valley Girl gone awry.” In a mocking faux-Valley Girl voice, Ingraham made fun of McCain’s body, joking that she didn’t get a “role in the Real World” because “they don’t like plus-sized models.”

Guess I have been in hiding too long, I have heard of Meghan McCain, but NEVER heard of Laura Ingraham. Guess that's ok, since she has nothing better to do than make fun of folks

I saw Meghan McCain on the Rachel Maddow show and I enjoyed what she had to say. I am a Democrat, a plus sized grandma and I think this young lady had a very intelligent head on her shoulders. I thought she was not only well informed but she was a pretty young person. This Laura Ingraham wishes she was as attractive as Meghan and apparently she must wish she was half as smart. Haters don't get anywhere and according to Laura's picture, she should thank God that she has a career in radio because she wouldn't make it on tv.

Wow. Wish I had her weight problem. She's lovely and smart.

And I am certain this radio person could come up with something... anything...more relevent, worthwhile, current, even grown-up to discuss on her show than someone else's personal statistics. Are you 12?

McCain is a size 8 when is 8 a plus size. Laura Ingraham was out smarted and decided that school girl teasing was smart enough. It isn't.

There is a problem when "real world" and other shows decide that over a 6 doesn't exist. or shouldn't. Oh wait just in women, men can be as large as they please. when was the last time a male political figure was called too fat as a response to a political opinion?
