Sometime before 2:00am ET this morning, Meghan McCain sent this to her followers:

Before the sun came up on the East Coast, that Tweet was deleted, and it reminds one that only a day earlier, McCain had typed this:

Every time a DC # comes up on my phone I instinctually think it’s my father’s press secretary and I’ve done something requiring “discussion”

Perhaps if you thought before you tweeted that wouldn’t happen.

You’re assuming facts not in evidence, counselor.

How about you show some moxie, Meghan? It’s not like their disapproval or approval of you is going to be important for your future.

Politicians (who by definition must live their lives according to marketing, dependency and spiritual squalor in order to be “successful”) are really unpleasant in this way – Meghan is such a political animal that she shies away from the disapproval of people she doesn’t *have to* care about.
