In her upcoming book, MSNBC contributor Meghan McCain goes after Karl Rove, calling him a “pathetic excuse for a human being,” according to Politico. McCain takes issue with the Bush campaign’s strategy for defeating her father, Sen. John McCain in South Carolina in the 2000 Republican primary when rumors that McCain had fathered an illegitimate child helped put Bush over the top in the key primary state.
“Yes, sick, f—-ed up, a disgusting and embarrassing scar that will forever remain on presidential politics and South Carolina history. I was furious, upset, and heartbroken when it happened, and even now if I think about it, it makes me want to vomit,” McCain writes. “Karl Rove is a pathetic excuse for a human being and has never publicly apologized for his cowardice and culpability for what was said about my little sister in South Carolina during the 2000 race.”
McCain also rails on Bill Clinton for his affair with Monica Lewinsky. “You can argue all you want, but he cheated on his marriage vows, he cheated on his role as an employer, and he cheated the country from many months of what should have been personal-conflict-free governing,” she writes. “The core actions – seducing a young woman and having her get you off – alone are deplorable, but then the way he went on to play the victim was ultimately worse.”
The book, called “America, You Sexy Bitch: A Love Letter to Freedom,” is due in June.
