Colbert to Harold Ford: Hi, Flip-Flopper

Implies politician is flip-flopping on abortion, gay marriage

(NEWSER) - Harold Ford Jr. got the coveted "Colbert bump" last night when he appeared on the Colbert Report to discuss his possible New York Senate run—but probably not in quite the way he expected. Colbert, who started off by noting that "evidently, six minutes at my interview table counts as New York state residency," implied the former Tennessee congressman is a bit of a flip-flopper when it comes to abortion and gay marriage.

Meghan McCain: I Passed the Ridiculous GOP Purity Test

...so what makes me such a radical?

(NEWSER) - After George Washington University's College Republican group dissed for her pro-gay-marriage stance, saying her views don't align with the GOP, Meghan McCain decided to take her party's "ridiculous" purity test. McCain wanted to see "just how radical I am from the 'pure ones'"—and with a bit of half-point fudging, she scored a passing 8 out 10.

Meghan: Specter Bailed on Us

Party needs progressive voices, she says

(NEWSER) - Arlen Specter has let the GOP down, but only because Republicans did the same, Meghan McCain writes for the Daily Beast. “He’s been made to feel like an outcast by a small, vocal group,” says McCain, herself familiar with the “tired rhetoric” now being hurled at the “progressive-minded” senator. “We need courageous Republicans more than ever. Specter turned his back.” More»

Mac Junior Rips 'Train Wreck' Coulter

Meghan calls pundit 'poster woman' for GOP extremism

(NEWSER) - John McCain's daughter Meghan has ripped into right-wing media harpy Ann Coulter as a hate-spewing "train wreck." "I straight up don't understand this woman or her popularity. I find her offensive, radical, insulting, and confusing," wrote McCain, 24, in a Daily Beast column. She lashed Coulter as the "poster woman" for GOP extremists. More»
