Meghan McCain's boobs cause a stir amongst the conservative prudes.

Here's her final response to the whole matter:

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 spent 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 a sex tape. I certainly didn't pose nude for Playboy. And I hadn't even exposed a nipple.

So why all this Sturm und Drang?

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 photos 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.

To be honest, I don't feel that I have anything to feel ashamed of. I've always embraced my curves and will continue to do so. I'd rather be the size I am than a skinny model fired for being too fat. And once again, a day after writing about my weight, 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. And 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? It's pathetic we can come so far in so many ways, but when Rep. Aaron Schock or Rep. Jeff Flake post pictures of themselves without their suits on—and their shirts, for that matter—they are proclaimed "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.

As those of you who follow me on Twitter know, I live my life very openly. I will happily tell you what I'm doing every minute of every day. I will tell you what songs I'm listening to, what movies I've seen, and what books I've read. (That's Arthur Danto's new biography of Andy Warhol in the photo, by the way.) I love reading other people's Tweets to me.

It's amazing what you can learn. And I've certainly endured my share of harsh comments from those who follow me. But yesterday was the first time it really wasn't fun. 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. At the end of the day, I am a work in progress. I am not perfect and have never given anyone the assumption that I am. I turn 25 next week and I am still adjusting to the glare of the spotlight and making mistakes.

This is the last time I'll ever address this non-scandal but at the very least I hope other girls can learn from this episode before they post any kind of photo online. I know I have learned a valuable lesson about the Internet and the boundaries between personal and public use with social media.

I just wanted to get that off my chest.

Some of the conservatives who follow her on Twitter were the ones that started bitching about it.

Did you check her Twitter page yourself?

Maybe it's "Fun Bag" jealousy as Palehorse suggested.  ;D

Indeed it is. Nothing more than cattiness brought on by intense fun bag jealousy!  :biggrin:

THAT figures...the same ones that got it wrong about Rush....who admittedly LIED about some things Rush said....Rick Sanchez outright made up crap that Rush said......and CNN, finally caved when they KNEW Rush could sue their ASS OFF......and may very well happen too......and I hope he does....some of you folks are real quick to spout off about FoxNews, but CNN is probably the number ONE station to spew BS.

You know what? If a girl has them boobs, and they are cute boobs, then she should  proudly show em off.  What is offensive is those old ladies in spandex pants and tight shirts that show the bra indentation.  Makes you want to throw a blanket over em. 

McCain is just a poop.  Every time you see him on the news you are looking at a boob.  Hers are just way cuter.

Just wanted you to know that you made my day. Nice play on words.  :biggrin: :biggrin:
