Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, opens up in Playboy interview

KatieMurphy, I believe Roy Cohn died in 1987. About a year later, a made for TV movie was broadcast, called "Citizen Cohn". He was portrayed in a very unflattering way, being called, "A Jew who persecuted Jews, and a gay, who persecuted gays"! There is one scene of him lying in the hospital, with Aids. The ghost of Ethel Rosenberg pays him a visit, and says, "It (Aids) gets into your brains!"

KM, please stop spreading the false narrative of the tea party. In short the tea party supports the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You can disagree with these documents but please be honest, just say What you believe in, which I suspect is confiscating wealth from others and controlling the actions of everyone else.

Glad to see she is supporting gay people, while the repub party becomes more and more like the taliban. An example- a few days ago the repubs in MD threw out the reasonable woman who ran the party - and replaced her with an extremist tea party woman of the ilk that called Obama a nazi the day he was elected.............More and more the tea party is just a new, basically non religious group dedicated to racism re our first black president and keeping gay people down. Its a reminder and recycling of the of the madness of the old Joe McCarty era of the 1950s. A time when careers and families were destroyed by people being called commies and homos.................And as usual, one of key players in that game was Roy Cohn, may he rest in peace. Roy ran around calling so many people homos, but died of AIDS in 1982.

I like that colleenish-wildcat. She the kind of republican that made the party great, before the theocrapublican got control and in my mind, are destroying the party. I'd have voted for her father, John, 'cept for the choice of Palin foisted upon him. To shayblack: Lots in IC is not "real" Irish. Example- Notre Dame. Irish in nickname only and their nickname has been changes three time. First, "The Catholics"; Second, "The Ramblers"; Third and finally (so far), "The Fighting Irish". There are hundreds of "Irish-Americans" playing for other Division 1 universities and in the other smaller division too, but for some reason - that current nickname - makes ND the most and only Irish university of note in the US according to Irish Central.

@shayblack - From what I've seen in my 63 years, Irish Americans and the Irish, for that matter, like smart, pretty girls just as much as most folks do. If you do not like the topic, you don't have to read the article. That's why they make titles. Please don't try to dictate what we should be or should not be reading in IC. What WE read is none of YOUR business. There are usually several articles in IC that I skip over but I do not go into them and tell everyone else they are wrong for reading them or IC is wrong to print them. Articles which don't get readers or comments will tell the editors the preferences of their audience. In fact, by reading and commenting, you, in effect, are telling IC that they should have more of these articles.

This has zero to do with Ireland or Irish America, apart from a surname that starts with "Mc". Please don't post stories like this.

I admire Megan as well! "Making her laugh" is fine, if you are a single guy. However, we should keep it low keyed. Some women see too much humor as a turn-off, thinking the guy is only grooming them for sex. It is ideal to maintain a pleasant, respectful style, with some light hearted humor entering the mix. Sadly, the best approach in the world won't work if the girl in question is a gold digger, and we are not in a high income bracket. Also, the female gender often allows circumstances of acquaintenship to nix some guys as potential dates. More women than men won't go out with opposite members they meet at work. Gals who meet guys "over the counter" (bartenders, waitresses, or in most service occupations) refuse to date these customers. Ironically, these same bartenders, etc. will, after concluding work, go to other clubs and try to get a date with the male bartender!! If you are a male, it sure pays to be the "star"!!

I have a lot of respect for both Megan McCain and her father. Both of them often speak the truth to the exasperation of GOP hardliners. I loved it when Megan took Rachael Maddow to the NRA convention. I wish her luck in finding Mr. "Right." Nice double-entendre, huh?
