She’s young, she’s blonde and she’s a fashionista who asks penetrating questions like, “Who doesn’t want to know what kind of shoes Dr. [Henry] Kissinger wears?”
Meet Meghan McCain, 23-year-old daughter of presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, whose “musings on pop culture on the political trail” (www.McCainBlogette.com) have been generating considerable press of late. Yet she laments, “I’m so sick of being called dumb because I like, you know, movies and music and fashion.”
Y’know, we luv that stuff too, Meghan -- like totally! So keep your dishy, pithy pop culture musings coming. Like how you maximize eyelash density by blending two brands of mascara (do the Bush twins know?). Or how you choose a “best dressed reporter” of the week (puh-leese, how about dreamy-slash-nerdy Tucker Carlson? Since he just got canned from his regular MSNBC gig, he could use the lift).
My favorite is your scoop that your ever smiling Mom is a big Cream fan. Whoa, that’s great to hear ‘cause the closest she’s going to get to the White House is “White Room” (#6, 1968). And you’ll soon be at a “Crossroads” of your own right after November 4.
So grab that media spotlight, girlfriend, and work it. Only when it comes to Dr. Kissinger, I have to say I saw him on a flight back in the ‘80s, maybe a decade or so after the end of the Vietnam War. But I didn’t notice his shoes -- I was too struck by the blood on his hands.
wow can't pick between her and Jenna Bush

“Gallivanting around the cosmos is a game for the young.” – William Shatner in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
A phenomenon today, Paramount's Star Trek was anything but when it debuted on this night on NBC. In its first season it ranked a mediocre #52, and was regularly beaten by competitors like Bewitched and My Three Sons. In successive years the network shifted its date and timeslot but audiences fell even further, and the show was axed at the end of its third season. But diehard trekkies kept the flame alive. Paramount tried an animated series for a couple years until its first feature film in 1979, and overwhelming response triggered a steady stream of movies and syndicated series ever since.
