2. Ah yes, the girl whose parents paid $700,000 CASH for a condo for her...
...as a graduation present.

Oh yes, Meghan, you are surely in touch with what normal families may or may not know.

3. She meant "no one knows BETTER than my family" but still
If she hasn't lost one of her brothers or had then horribly injured, then there are 1,000s of other families that know what that feels like.

9. Still sounds like the height of arrogance to me.

6. This is literally one of the dumbest things ever said by a campaign operative.
This has to be top ten.

7. Period!
It was the "PERIOD" that took it from slightly confused, to grossly self-centered and ignorant, EXCLAMATION MARK.

10. She can tell me about war when she's seen a few tours as a combat medic.
Until then, she can safely shut the fuck up.

11. I'd actually give her a pass on this - She's a kid, and probably meant "more than"

No, I'm not a troll, but she's not the most articulate speaker on the planet.

13. 24 is not that much of a kid and "more than" wouldn't make it much better.
Open mouth, insert foot, Meghan. This one will piss a lot of people off.

15. She graduated from Columbia. She said she gave her father a b'day present. She became a republican
She said she had a lot of liberal friends. Sounds like maybe she was a Dem before McCain decided to run.
