Republican firebrand Meghan McCain’s skimpy pajamas have her conservative followers all atwitter, forcing the daughter of failed 2008 presidential candidate Sen. John McCain to apologize for posting a racy photo of her décolletage.
The trouble started around 8 p.m. Wednesday when The Daily Beast columnist uploaded a photo of herself in a low-cut tank-top reading a biography of Andy Warhol.
"[My] 'spontaneous' night in is my Andy Warhol biography and takeout. ... I'm getting old," she writes.
Her relaxing evening turned into a wild night when some of her over 60,000 followers started to taunt the political scion.
Initially, McCain tried to straight-talk her way out:
"So I took a fun picture not thinking anything about what I was wearing, but apparently anything other than a pantsuit, I am a slut," she Twittered.
Then she threatened to abandon her Twitter account altogether. "[Why] I have been considering deleting my twitter account, what once was fun now just seems like a vessel for harassment."
Finally, she chose to just apologize.
"I do want to apologize to anyone that was offended by my twitpic," McCain wrote Wednesday about the photo that has been viewed 103,911 and counting. "I have clearly made a huge mistake and am sorry 2 those that are offended."
But some of her followers are not buying it.
"You knew you were posting a nearly NSFW [not safe for work] photo, so don't pretend like you're surprised at people's reaction," commented melissajenna.
McCain sees it differently.
"[When] I am alone in my apartment, I wear tank tops and sweatpants, I had no idea this makes me a ‘slut’, I can't even tell you how hurt I am."
LOL.. right Benny? I can understand if someone thinks it's not appropriate to be honest. They have the choice of not following her on twitter or looking at her page. There are more important things to put your energy fighting against then cleavage...
"Say NO to Cleavage!" /tic
I don't spell check! Sorry... If you include "No offense" in a statement, chances are, your statement is offensive.
The 100,000 people who have viewed and 30,000 people who have messaged her, and the radio / news people who are all over it.. apparently it's the "News of the Day"
I don't spell check! Sorry... If you include "No offense" in a statement, chances are, your statement is offensive.
They are all shocked-shocked and where's the link to the color pictures? She's a stunning girl and I hope she makes millions off these phony idiotic critics.
What a non issue and distraction from the real news-record high unemployment in this Country because of the complete failure of Obama's horrible stimulus "plan".
Hey...negative publicity is clearly better than non at all I guess.

"décolletage " ...I ll be figuring a way to use that in a sentence.
Try telling a female how nice her decolletage is.
