Meghan McCain

"If he had endorsed Santorum, I mean, I would be like slitting my wrists on the table right now." - Meghan McCain on John McCain's endorsement of Mitt Romney

Like her dad, Meghan McCain does not mince words.

In the wake of Tuesday's Iowa caucus, she didn't hold back on her feelings about surprise second-place finisher and frequent McCain critic, Rick Santorum.

“My father did not become the nominee having anything to do with the Iowa caucus. I find it completely irrelevant," she said. "If Rick Santorum becomes the nominee of this party, I mean, it is going to be bedlam and hysteria like you have never seen.”

Meghan McCain on Santorum, Romney

As for whether a McCain endorsement will help Romney in next week's primary, the 27-year-old said it certainly couldn't hurt, given his popularity in the state.

"I think in New Hampshire the McCain name is very strong. If my father could run for Governor of New Hampshire right now, he'd probably still win," she added.

Romney leads N.H. and national polls in the Republican presidential race.

Levi Johnston isn't the only figure called out in Bristol Palin's memoir, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far. Yes ... Bristol actually has a memoir out.

One in which she reflects not-so-fondly on her initial impressions of Meghan McCain, whose father named Bristol's mom to the GOP ticket in 2008.

In the book, Bristol Palin, now 20, writes that during her first encounter with Sen. John McCain's daughter, now 26, she "ignored us the entire visit."

There's no love lost between the offspring of the 2008 GOP ticket.

Palin "had a sneaking suspicion I might need to watch my back" and added that "Every time we saw Meghan McCain, she seemed to be constantly checking us out, always comparing my family to hers and complaining."

McCain takes issue with that statement and then some.

She Tweeted a YouTube video from 2008, showing herself with her arm around Sarah Palin's "sweet, sweet daughter Piper" smiling on a couch.

Safe to say Meghan McCain is not Glenn Beck's type.

The Fox News host mocked her recent skin cancer PSA for the Style network and even pretended to vomit when her name was mentioned. Classy.

Sen. John McCain's daughter, alongside other stars, appear in the spot in various forms of nudity. The point is that we're naked without sunscreen.

Beck was unmoved, feigning the urge to hurl.

He sarcastically said he was feeling ill from too much of a good thing or maybe he was trying "to imagine John McCain naked with long blonde hair."

"When I look at that, I think to myself, I get the point, put some clothes on," griped Beck, who suggested she wear a burka to "be extra safe."

Meghan McCain hit back, deriding Beck as "pathetic and extremely desperate for publicity." Her mom, Cindy McCain, also called out Beck on Twitter.

"I'm so glad Glenn Beck is leaving Fox," wrote Cindy, a skin cancer survivor (as is John McCain). "Enough vitriol and hate. Glenn you are no rodeo clown."

Seriously. Never mind that she's not really naked or that she's actually promoting an important cause, right Glenn? Come on dude. This is too much:

Glenn Beck Vomits Over Meghan McCain

Whose side are you on?

Meghan McCain flashes some skin for an important cause in a new PSA.

The daughter of John McCain, who has never been afraid to cause controversy within Republican ranks, is one of many women who appears on behalf of the Style Network’s skin cancer prevention campaign.

Aware it might cause trouble within the capitol, she Tweeted: “Pundits in DC can calm themselves. I filmed a skin cancer PSA in a strapless juicy tube dress. All you can see is my collar bone.”

Check out the PSA after the jump ...

Meghan McCain, the daughter of newly-reelected U.S. Sen. John McCain, thinks people who don't vote are ridiculous. She's talking to you, Bristol Palin!

The 20-year-old daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who's competing on ABC's Dancing With the Stars in L.A., said she forgot to vote absentee.

"I'm going to be in trouble. Sorry, Mom!" she joked. Appearing on The Tonight Show last night, Meghan McCain didn't shy away from criticizing her.

Bristol Palin and Meghan McCain both had one parent on the Republican presidential ticket in 2008. That's about where their similarities begin and end.

"If you didn't vote in my family that was bad news. I've been voting since I turned 18," she said. "I guess it's only important for Bristol Palin to vote for Dancing With the Stars. A lot of women worked really hard to give us the right to vote."

"Anyone that doesn't is just ridiculous."

Yup, pretty much. Megs did not opine on whether there's a Bristol Palin conspiracy keeping her on Dancing With the Stars despite her atrocious moves.

There's a lesson in this story. That lesson is not to Tweet about your real whereabouts when you make up a BS excuse to get out of a speaking engagement.

With three days' notice, Meghan McCain canceled an appearance at Pennsylvania's Juniata College due to "several unforeseen professional responsibilities."

As in partying in Vegas, baby!

It's hard to fly under the radar when you Tweet 24/7.

McCain's Twitter account reveals this: "First real time off in months - was gonna rest up for phase two next week of my Dirty Sexy Politics book tour ... But headed to sin city with my favorite crew of sinners instead ... Viva Las Vegas baby."

And McCain kept on tweeting: No apology to the college, just a hissy fit about how the MGM messed up her hotel reservation and her move to the Palms.

McCain's rep, Kenny Rahtz, said, "I have nothing to say" then hung up.

Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, is not only funny, refreshingly candid and entertaining as hell, she's a cutie too. Talk about the whole package!

The 25-year-old's new book, Dirty Sexy Politics, hit stores this week, and contains some choice lines about high-profile political figures, Republicans included.

Chief among Meghan's targets? Her dad's '08 running mate, Sarah Palin.

Meghan McCain respects Sarah Palin, but, well ...

"I was waiting for her to explode," she writes of the former Alaska Governor. "There was a fine line between genius and insanity, they say, and choosing her as the running mate was starting to seem like the definition of that line."

"The Palins were nice and down-to-earth. I've said that before. I mean no disrespect when I say this, but when they arrived from Alaska and unpacked their bags, they brought drama, stress, complications, panic, and loads of uncertainty."

In a thinly-veiled jab at Palin's lust for fame, Megs notes: "They brought a tabloid attention-getting quality my family has never had - and God willing, never will."

Those of you with crushes on Meghan McCain need not get your hopes up after reading the headline above. Her new book is simply titled Dirty Sexy Politics.

The cover for the work was released Tuesday by the Daily Beast, a news and opinion website that the 25-year-old daughter of Sen. John McCain writes for.

The effervescent Meghan "writes about her experiences on the campaign trail, how the party veered so far off track, why she is still a Republican, and more."

It's cool Meghan McCain has a book coming out and it'll be a good read. We just hope she didn't ask Tila Tequila and/or Heidi Montag to write the foreword.

Here's our first look at the cover ....

DIRTY, SEXY POLITICS: Meghan McCain covers it all.

A summary included with the book touts the younger, more attractive McCain as one of the most outspoken members of the Republican Party. Definitely true.

McCain, who is the creator of the website, McCainblogette.com, is also the author of a New York Times bestselling children's book My Father: John McCain.

She is active on social networks such as Twitter, although she has scaled back on the picture posting after this hot, dorky photo caused such a stir last fall.

Author, blogger, daughter of U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and recent Twitter photo controversy magnet Meghan McCain turns 25 on this 23rd today of October.

Happy birthday, Megs!

McCain, who was criticized for displaying some cleavage online in large part because she is a Republican and happens to have breasts, despises labels.

Well, we've got one for her just the same: Awesome!

You may not agree with everything she says, but she's refreshingly candid, secure in who she is (even if you can't put it in a box) and kinda funny, too.

Here's a birthday tribute of Meghan McCain pictures:

Just hours after it was posted, an innocent-enough but nevertheless busty Meghan McCain Twitter photo made Sen. John McCain's daughter a (cute!) pariah.

While her judgment in posting the pic in a public forum was questionable (a fact she admits), the photo was far from slutty or attention-seeking in nature.

Meghan McCain says she is basically being labeled a slut because her breasts are above average in size and were visible in the pic, and she's got a point.

Here's are excerpts from her latest column about the controversy:

"On Wednesday, I posted a hastily taken self-portrait on Twitter - which I thought was funny and silly - and within a few hours I had caused a media scandal.

I spent the next day thinking about what was so shocking about the picture. After all, it’s not like I was making a sex tape. I certainly didn’t pose nude.

Could it be it's because I have breasts? Because for those of you who didn't know, I have two. They're larger than some women's and not as big as others.

Most Meghan McCain pictures are not as controversial as this week's.

To be honest, I don't feel I have anything to be ashamed of. I've embraced my curves and will continue to. It’s the media that have a problem with my body.

For years I have struggled to accept the fact that the way I look in a tank top comes off more “sexual” than a flat-chested woman. Once again, I was reassured by the media that someone with my cup size should always be covered up.

Or what, I’ll be seen as a slut?

When Rep. Aaron Schock or Rep. Jeff Flake post pictures without suits on, they are “hotties.” But put me in a tank top and I am suddenly an embarrassment to the Republican Party and women everywhere. The double standard is infuriating.

It's not easy to be called a slut. But I'm not giving up my Twitter just yet - I'm just going to be more judicious in how I use it. I am a work in progress.

This is the last time I’ll ever address this non-scandal but I hope that other girls can learn from this episode before they post any kind of picture online.

I learned a valuable lesson about the Internet and boundaries between personal and public use with social media. I wanted to get that off my chest."
