Review of Meghan McCain's "America, You Sexy Bitch"
— Ace

I assume that title came from Michael Ian Black, who is reasonably funny (although I can never get people to agree to that proposition). He co-authored the book.

Apparently the book consists of Meghan McCain trying to be funny and Michael Ian Black trying to be political...

[A]s the liberal half of its authorship [I think she means the "male liberal half; the other half is liberal too], [Black] offers lots of insight into what’s wrong with America. For example: “If you want to find at least one significant reason why America is polarized, this is it: because Republicans are lying to their base about science.” There’s also this little gem, in defense of Obamacare: “These days a lot of people will never get back on their feet. . . . These days a lot of people are just good and forever f***ed.”

You know what bothers me? All this blog-level writing on TV and in books. There's nothing wrong with that kind of low-skill observation on a blog; blogs are written at a fast clip, usually without an editorial hand to guide them, and the imperative is quantity, not quality.

But it always bothers me when I see this crap in an ostensibly professional medium.

Blogging is what it is. It's generally a more speed-of-thought mode, like the glorious old pulp-writer hacks would do (except they were, of course, better; they were pros).

They were getting paid very low rates, by the word, so their imperative was to churn out words.

You wouldn't confuse Doc Savage with Hemmingway.


Rejected cover for "A Farewell To Arms;"
from this site, Ernest Hemmingway: Destroyer of All Serpents

But while I'm an abuser of this sort of throwaway, toss-off sort of writing, I'd never in a million years even consider putting my blog into book format.

The format itself is more prestigious. You've gotta up your game a little bit, don't you? What is the point of a blog on paper?

Anyway, it appears that even with a book editor, and publishing house, overseeing her, Meghan McCain's laptop is still cursed:

Readers may find that McCain’s prose style — she employs turns of phrase such as “self-admittedly” and “final last days” — leaves a tad to be desired.

And then lapses into Tweeting on to a printed page:

“God for me is found everywhere; in my family, in the desert, in first kisses, in smiles, in laughter, in friendship, in cheesecake, in red wine, and above all else in love.” Or her thoughts on Little Rock, Ark.: “This place sucks.” Or on strippers: “Strippers. Strippers. Strippers. What is a proper trip to Vegas without strippers?”

Again, on Twitter, I'd just shrug and say "That's what Twitter is made for."

But a book? That I pay for?

Anyway, the combination of "funny" Meghan McCain and serious, sour political Cassandra Michael Ian Black works out as well as you might have expected.

The title is reasonably cute. Kind of derivative of the various Steven Colbert titles, but still cute.

But I've read the title, I've processed it, I've had my one-quarter smile. I don't think I'll be paying for this book.

Tell a lie, I'm ordering this book. I have to review it. I will put aside Game of Thrones for this book, but only this one.

Jonah Goldberg:

"Meghan McCainÂ’s new book offers all you need to know about the subject, except IÂ’m not sure we need to know even this much. Apparently the premise is that a liberal and conservative set out in search of common ground. The reality is apparently that a liberal doesnÂ’t change his views at all and the conservative isnÂ’t conservative in the first place but learns that she should be even more liberal."

Thanks to WalrusRex.

One trick you can use to make a book like this seem to have something going on is to claim a "personal journey and evolution" on the part of one of the authors.

You see this trick in TV all the time. The good Monk episodes would have a decent puzzle, or some good comedy, or, if they couldn't manage the last two, they'd make it a "character episode" about something Monk learned. Some of these character episodes were touching, but others were just strained, or repeated stuff Monk had already learned two seasons ago.

You could almost hear the show-runner saying, "Damn, our mystery this week is trite, there's no comedy... we've got to amp up the Personal Journey. Throw Trudy in there someplace."

I sort of wonder how much of this "Narrative Arc," as they'd call it in TV or movies, is real, and how much of it is the publisher saying, "We need some kind of through-line here, some kind of resolution, some kind of evolution. Because this manuscript, as I read it, is just a series of late-night Tweets, but with more errors in usage and grammar."

92 Readers may find that McCain’s prose style — she employs turns of phrase such as “self-admittedly” and “final last days” — leaves a tad to be desired.

BOOK:   I'm the dictionary, actually.

 

MWR:  Hello, dictionary.

 

DICTIONARY:     Yeah, hi.   Look, I'm trying to find     one    Meghan McCain.   Can you tell me where she might be?

 

MWR:  Well, if she's not acting like a "conservative analyst" on MSNBC, she's probably at McDonald's.  Why?

 

DICTIONARY:   She's been brutally assaulting my children.

 

MWR:   Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that! 

 

DICTIONARY:   Yeah, I'm pretty pissed.     I should have expected it,   given her well-documented history of torturing innocent punctuation.   But    then   she writes   this...

 

“God for me is found everywhere; in my family, in the desert, in first
kisses, in smiles, in laughter, in friendship, in cheesecake, in red
wine, and above all else in love.”

 

DICTIONARY:   ... and Cloying comes home from school in tears.   "Why does she make me do these things, mama?" little Cloying sobs.    "She's such a big meanie!"

 

MWR:  Well I hope you find her and give her hell.

 

DICTIONARY:   Yeah.  I'm just going to stop by the consortium and pick up some heavies from Strunk and White.  Then we're going to have some words with Meggie Mac.   And I know a lot about words.

98 My late mother used to teach high school English in the inner city. The kids were supposed to be reading "A Farewell to Arms" and when it was obvious that no one in the class had read it, my mom, exasperated, shouted "at least read the Cliff's Notes or the Monarch Notes." So next week, she was reading a stack of book reports entitled "A Farewell to My Arms, by Cliff Hemingway" Come to think of it, maybe SCOAMF's book report was "The Radical Rulers by Saul Monarch"

100 I am a little confused why anyone would even be tempted to read something Meghan wrote. We already know she is the product of an Ivy League education. Which means, there is little intelligent, logical or comporting with proper English writing conventions and grammar she would write. She has proved that- non? YOu didn't think it would be the 21st century version of Macbeth- did you?

Methinks this is a cover-up for your past sins where Maggie called you out for being mean and a misogynist or some such twaddle.

"The book reaches its emotional climax in our Dynamic Duo’s penultimate stop, Washington, D.C. There, after a 45-minute conversation with Representative Dennis Kucinich (D., Ohio), McCain and Black bond over their shared admiration for the former presidential candidate; Black becomes “a convert to the Kucinich Way,” and McCain calls Kucinich “a living example of an antidote to the problems in politics right now.”

Who knew that the problem with America is that we donÂ’t have enough Dennis Kuciniches?"

179 You know what it is? There's a problem with this country in that there's a source of stupid, where people like Black and McCain go for all their deep thoughts because these people have convictions for which there is no real supporting evidence. So, Black is just so filled with trite lefty beliefs, but where do they come from? Is never having talked to a conservative or thought through an idea like a loaf of bread you leave out for too long and it gets moldy.

196 This is a scary new tactic of the unions. And, I had not even heard about it. This is really worth a serious read. Unions Out to Divide and Conquer Workplaces http://tinyurl.com/6u4uygn excerpt: Unions suffered a resounding defeat in Wisconsin last week. They’re far from down and out, however. Unable to reverse their decline in membership under existing law, they are circumventing Congress and using the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to create an entirely new type of union. A new rule hatched by the Obama-appointed board, authorizes the creation of union cells—organizing a few employees within a company to gain a foothold—which will severely impact businesses. Until recently, employees organized based on shared job characteristics—for example, all the hourly employees at a firm. The new practice allows micro-unions representing only a small minority of workers in a company. Instead of a grocery store’s employees having a union, the store could face separate unions for cashiers, shelf-stockers, and janitors. The NLRB permitted this in its Specialty Healthcare decision last year, allowing organized labor to form unions by job title. A decision last month by one of the NLRB’s regional directors demonstrated just how harmful—and absurd—a policy this is. The regional director green-lit a union election at the Bergdorf Goodman department store. But most employees will not get to vote; only shoe salesmen will cast ballots. Not all shoe salesmen, however. Only those selling women’s shoes. sick

"President Obama won North Carolina by 14,000 votes in 2008 with 95 percent of the black vote. [H]eÂ’s now losing almost a quarter of the black vote. One in five black voters in North Carolina actually say they will vote for Romney. The economy? Maybe, but few Republicans have ever won that share of the black vote even when times were tough. A lot of black pastors are pretty upset with President Obama for endorsing gay marriage  . . . . , and it looks like some of their flocks are as well."

I think this is a good deal. Unions win by having a monopoly. The only way this benefits is if they can manage to force companies to forbid any employee not in a given union from doing a given job.  Like non-janitors can't sweep floors.

But the janitors would still have much much less power than before under a bigger union.

294 O/T - George Zimmerman's wife has been arrested for perjury for giving false statements about the amount of money they had and having coded conversations with her husband about it while he was in jail.  Amazing.  You would think that considering the fact that they were literally on the run from people that had a hit out on them and they didn't take the money and run, but turned it over to their attorney to put in a trust they can't access, they would get a little leniency.  Gah, I'm a native here and sometimes I just don't know what people in Florida are thinking.

(a) She won't be able to prosecute GZ, so now she's reduced to perjury traps.

(b) I shudder to think what flimsy pretext she had for charging GZ's wife with perjury (over the assets thing?) because she wasn't a witness to the event, so she shouldn't have relevant testimony.

(c) Isn't it a little unusual to charge perjury on someone at this stage of things?

310 Meghan McCain is basically an inexperienced David Frum. Whether it's because she's dumber than a sack of hammers or because she decided early on to lie about her beliefs and association for political purposes, her *JOB* is to push Republicans to the left, just like the job of almost every leftist. She's a vandal, a saboteur, a liar, a double-agent. It doesn't matter to me *why* she does it, she's a *villain* because she does do it. People who watch too much TV think bumbling villains are cute, it's not true, they're just villains. The really, *really* annoying thing is there are at least tens of thousands of talented authors who will never sell as much as she does with one book, because she's a celebrity that serves an agenda. And that's all she is, she has no talent at all that I can discern.

323 From Betsy Woodruff (at NRO) regarding Meghan's book ... "The book reaches its emotional climax in our Dynamic Duo’s penultimate stop, Washington, D.C. There, after a 45-minute conversation with Representative Dennis Kucinich (D., Ohio), McCain and Black bond over their shared admiration for the former presidential candidate; Black becomes “a convert to the Kucinich Way,” and McCain calls Kucinich “a living example of an antidote to the problems in politics right now.” Who knew that the problem with America is that we don’t have enough Dennis Kuciniches? At the end of the book’s second section, Black writes that “this whole idea is a hot mess.” He’s right. Would-be readers can probably find much better things to do with their time, such as Googling “Dennis Kucinich’s UFO sighting,” seeking God in a glass of red wine, or contemplating the one major upside of Obama’s election: that it kept Meghan McCain from becoming America’s first daughter."

"Tell a lie, I'm ordering this book. I have to review it. I will put aside Game of Thrones for this book, but only this one."

 

Ace, we give you money, you buy the book and review it.  We read that and don't buy Megan's book.  Win win all round.

350 I'm sure she missed all of the interviews with Bryan Singer where he explicitly and at stupefying length, stated that his X-Men movies were gay metaphors. Replace the word "Mormons" with the word "gays" in that quote and see how it would go over.....

I think even Stan Lee talks about the creation of the XMen is about intolerance against people that are different and working to gain acceptance.

Wow, not on repugnant but factually incorrect. Is there no idea she cannot break?

353 Talk about not understanding, or she we call it lying, science!

The X-men are hardly a threat to human existence. Each one is unique and there isn't a single breeding pair in the lot. Mutant one-shots do not make for a new species.

Lots of vidio of Meghan in stretch jeans and wrap skirts, with her standard vacant cow-like expression.

355 345 It's good to break conventions but there is usually an element of risk that the experiment will fail. Posted by: Roy Horn at June 12, 2012 05:33 PM (N/1Dm) Except that in terms of conventions of philosophy or ideas, this book breaks no new ground (that we've seen from reviews and previews and ads). It follows the EXACT modern leftist media narrative that the Republicans are wrong and the Democrats are right and the only thing to do is for the former to be more like the latter. It is 100% conventional, there is no experimentation in these areas. The only experimentation seems to be with bad grammar, clumsy word usage, and mangled metaphors, and that's only if you think "experimentation" is synonymous with "incompetent."

360 But the fawning press loves to call this brainless twit some sort of spokesperson for the GOP. Posted by: Schrödinger's cat at June 12, 2012 06:15 PM (phlKA) No, the manipulative press uses her as a cudgel against their political enemies, and she goes along with it, either because she is complicit or because she is stupid.

363 Wait a minnit ... is she saying God is found in red wine?

Is she some kind of jewelry-wearing, fiction-reading, mixed-dancing, wine-drinking, syncopated bobbed-hair Whore of Babylon or something?

Next thing you know, they'll be letting transsubstantiating Papists publish books in America. I'm not sure I want to live in that kind of country.

365 Interesting tidbit from the comments on the review at NRO:

"this book was published by "Hot Schwartz Productions," which is owned by... Michael Ian Black. There were no adults in the room when this "hot mess" was assembled and foisted on an unsuspecting world."

Well that explains a *little* more....

Am  I completely alone in thinking Ace should write Ernest Hemmingway:  Destroyer of All Serpents?  With that cover, of course, and under the Kenneth Robeson house name.  Because I would read that.

 

And Michael Ian Black was topnotch in Stella - the Raking Leaves sketch alone is pure comedic genius, and works on levels nearly impossible to analyze or describe.

370 "I do not like the snakes of the pit. The snakes of the pit do not compare to the snakes of the hills or the snakes of the plains," Doc Savage said. The boy said, "Let me get rope and a sword from my uncles and I will come snaking with you." Doc Savage said, "When you are young it is better that you snake with your uncles for a while. I will snake alone and then I will come back and we will snake together."
