Meghan is rocketing up my approval list! Today's news is about her taking some commentator to task for discussing her weight (she's a pucking size 8 FTLOC) when McCain is talking about policy.
After years of working w/ young women and being gobsmacked by the identities and sheer numbers of women w/ eating disorders and esteem issues, I am constantly amazed at how big the problem is. Go Meghan!
"The question remains: Why, after all this time and all the progress feminists have made, is weight still such an issue? And in Laura?s case, why in the world would a woman raise it? Today, taking shots at a woman?s weight has become one of the last frontiers in socially accepted prejudice.
I also thought the media outlets that reported on Laura?s comments about me were out of line. I don?t listen to Laura?s show, so if journalists hadn?t picked up on it and reported on it, I never would have known what she said. I wonder how Laura would feel if at some point someone were to criticize her daughter?s weight and broadcast it nationally on the radio.
At this point, I have more respect for Ann Coulter than I do for Laura Ingraham because at least Coulter didn?t come back at me with heartless, substance-less attacks about my weight. All I can do is try to be a positive role model for women of my generation and, I hope, help show that no matter what industry you are in, what size you are has nothing to do with your worth."

I liked McCain (the pappy) before he started being too influenced by the party machine during the campaign too.
