Meghan McCain must have grown bored on Wednesday night while spending an evening alone in her New York apartment. Dressed in sweat pants and a tank top, she was reading an Andy Warhol biography and chowing down on takeout. On impulse, we are led to believe, the 25-year-old snapped a photo of herself and decided it would make a perfect Twitpic.
Senator John McCain‘s daughter wasn’t prepared for the Twitter storm that ensued. She was so shocked and surprised by the nasty backlash that she even threatened to pull a “Miley” and quit ‘tweeting’ for good.
Her Daily Beast blog had an interesting piece called Don’t Call Me A Slut this morning. She writes, “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 minor media scandal. I spend most of the next day thinking about what exactly was so shocking about the picture, why there was such an immediate and nasty overreaction. After all, it’s not like I was caught making an explicit tape. I certainly didn’t pose nude for Playboy. And I hadn’t even exposed a nipple.”
She went on to analyze the situation by suggesting, “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. I don’t usually show off my cleavage–as I did in the photo I posted–which I will admit is not the smartest thing I have ever done. But it’s just not worth the drama it caused. I just want to get this off my chest.”
