I’m not sure how to feel about this:

On the one hand, if you’re Chris Christie and you’ve lost Meghan McCain, that would augur problems down the road for your national political ambitions.

On the other hand, if you’re Chris Christie and Meghan McCain won’t support you, it’s almost a conservative law that we constitutionalists must give him another look.

The formulation is simple:  if Meghan McCain likes X, then Y is the correct choice; if Meghan McCain supports X, sentient beings must certainly support Y.

But because we know that Christie is everything that the GOP establishment embraces — and that we the people therefore reject — giving him yet another look is counterintuitive.  Consequently, perhaps it’s time to rethink that original political proof entirely and just go with a new formulation:  if Meghan McCain likes and/or supports X, who besides a few teenaged boys, her agent, her increasingly fading father, and almost certainly Lindsay Graham, even gives a shit?

Express that mathematically and I think I may be on to something.

  1. DarthLevin says:

    The best I can come to the mathematical expression of this conundrum is:

    ? ÷ 0

  2. DarthLevin says:

    Damn HTML. ? is supposed to “infinity symbol”

  3. sdferr says:

    Or a restatement of that formulation: if Megan McCain opens her mouth, decent Americans are duty bound to ignore her . . . again.

  4. bgbear says:

    A broken clock is wrong 1438 times a day.

  5. Of course, XY is the correct choice.

  6. angstlee says:

    We are absolutely obligated to ignore this blonde twit. I’m quite sure it’s a law or something.

  7. Blake says:

    Meghan McCain: putting the “semi-literate” in bubble-headed bleach blonde.

  8. Dave in Indiana says:

    I think it’s best expressed mathematically as an empty set, not unlike Meghan’s head.

  9. palaeomerus says:

    I suspect that Meghan McCain likes whatever her PR/new Media consultant tells her it would be cool for her to like.

  10. Blake says:

    oooh, Dave, you’re onto something. I suggest Venn diagrams, with Meghan in one and intelligence in the other where never the twain shall meet.

  11. Blake says:

    palaeomerus, you’re being exceedingly generous. I, for one, wouldn’t give Meghan the ability to remember anything her media consultants tell her.

  12. dicentra says:

    He lost her because “Christie is more interested in pushing his own agenda than in supporting his party.”

    Supporting the GOP is not a venerable goal.

    Pushing one’s own agenda might be, depending on what one’s own agenda is.

    Given that CC’s agenda seems to be schmoozing with the powerful, he’s lost me on both counts.

    win-win?

  13. geoffb says:

    False choice. This comes from mapping the mulch-dimentional human politics onto a one dimensional line just like the left-right line that has Communism at one end and Nazism at the other.

    Should I go with the “Fascist” CC or the “Communist” MM? Neither, the question is too small, and should be unasked.

  14. leigh says:

    The fact that he’s a fat guy from New Jersey with a bombastic style of oratory never made a believer out of me.

    We have a thin-skinned beanpole in the WH now. Why replace him with a thin-skinned, big gov fatso with an R after his name?

  15. geoffb says:

    How did multi become mulch?

  16. leigh says:

    I like it, geoff. I’d trademark it if I were you.

  17. sdferr says:

    geoffb, I began to wonder if there wasn’t a multi-dementia-nal in play there too — given the evident craziness involved in tracking McCains.

  18. Pablo says:

    I think that having a feeling about this is probably a mistake.

  19. Scott Hinckley says:

    How about:

    Given: If MM <3 X, then ? | MMa | COUJ | POSlg =/= WTF

    where:
    MM is Meghan McCain.
    ? is the unknown (i.e. teenage boys)
    MMa is Meghan McCain, sub-agent
    COUJ is Crazy Old Uncle John
    and POSlg is Piece of Shit, sub-Lindsay Graham,

  20. Curmudgeon says:

    Meghan just needs a good strap-on, and a webcam she thinks is plugged in, but really isn’t.

  21. geoffb says:

    WTF = CAIR you know.

  22. geoffb says:

    Mulch-dimensional is shit-for-brains thinking and descriptive of MM among many others. Only my spell-check knows for sure.

  23. McGehee says:

    We’ve had more than our share of comment trolls from the mulch dimension.

    As for Meggy Mac, the Venn diagram describing the sets: Intelligent People and People who give a blind twitching fuck what Meggy Mac says about anything, is represented by her tits — they don’t intersect.

  24. Scott Hinckley says:

    Saw that, geoffb. Can’t believe that was intentional, so it really is a WTF?

  25. Scott Hinckley says:

    Somehow, linking anything to do with logic or reason and Meggy Mac’s tits seems like a crime against science.

  26. leigh says:

    MM’s tits are her only redeeming feature. They wouldn’t even be all that if she wasn’t so fat.

  27. leigh says:

    Yes, I am feeling like a fatist today.

    OT: Jay Carney says “everyone” agrees that the debt ceiling must be raised. Oh really now?

  28. Scott Hinckley says:

    Everyone that he knows, leigh.

    The rest of us don’t exist in his world.

  29. SBP says:

    Let’s see if this Unicode will work:

    ? x | x ? {McCain family}, limt?? (me giving a flying fuck about x) = 0

  30. Libby says:

    If Meghan McCain supports something we’re all dumber for having heard her discuss it.

    Something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hfYJsQAhl0

  31. BigBangHunter says:

    – MM = the union of the Tit set and the set of all vacuums.

  32. palaeomerus says:

    Ugggh. Greta van Sustren is driving me nuts.

    Greta routinely and dismissively interrupts congresspeople as they attempt to explin their position and view of the opposition to tell them that they should find ways to work together because that’s what she expects as if the guest has never heard of cooperation and is obliged to cooperate on any issue merely because she wants to see cooperation. She’s a typical soft headed self important, kindergarten teacher boilerplate thinking, Fox news-boob like O’Reilly, Gretchen Carlson, and Neil Cavuto who use their guests as an excuse to give ignorant no-brainer lectures to the last people who need to hear them. She thinks congresspeople come on the show because they need a dose of her special brand of ersatz life-coaching.

    It’s sad stuff to watch.

  33. palaeomerus says:

    explin->explain

  34. Ernst Schreiber says:

    You know what another word for cooperation is, Greta? Collaboration. You do know what they did to collaborators, don’t you?

  35. dicentra says:

    Is Rand Paul saying that “we can’t do anything in the Senate because Obama will blame us and we don’t have the majority?”

    Because my translator algorithm keeps cranking out “The NSA finally dug up something useful on me.”

    Watch his next TV interview: if he keeps blinking three short, three long, three short, we’ll know.

  36. sdferr says:

    Is Rand Paul saying that “we can’t do anything in the Senate because Obama will blame us and we don’t have the majority?”

    Isn’t it sufficient to know he backs McConnell’s re-elect bid?

  37. BigBangHunter says:

    – Anagram of the week:

    Where’s Willie’s Armadillo?

    (i.e. “where is the Armadillo’s Willie?”)

    – This is always what happens when you let a Progressive own a pet. Of course if there was ever a Limo Liberal Nelson is the poster boy. Sans the drug connection he’d be a dyed in the wool good ole boy redneck.

  38. John Bradley says:

    Obviously Greta didn’t catch that part of Cruz’s thing this morning when he was quoting Ayn Rand. Something along the lines of “There are two sides to every argument, the right side and the wrong side. And then there are those in the middle, who seek compromise between the two sides. They’re simply Evil.”

  39. BigBangHunter says:

    – The obligitory weekly Mall shooting.

  40. newrouter says:

    how? cuomo just passed more gun control laws

  41. McGehee says:

    And then there are those in the middle, who seek compromise between the two sides. They’re

    Mensheviks.

    The guys who were going to end up getting shot whichever side won, because winning was never their goal anyway.

  42. BigBangHunter says:

    how? cuomo just passed more gun control laws

    – Criminal minds are a little slow on the uptake, and the gov never provides translators.

  43. bbeck says:

    IF (RINO’s cup size) > (McCain’s cup size) THEN (McCain hates)

    The statement is not gender specific.

  44. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Yeah, Senator Petain’s surrender speech on the floor today was a thing of beauty.

    I understand the perfection of his accent made Jean Francois Le Kerre weep.

  45. Ernst Schreiber says:

    If that’s video of McCain saying he campaigned all over the country on “repeal and reform” in 2012, and the country reelected Obama, therefore the country must want Obamacare and thus “we lost,” that newrouter is linking, then it’s probably worth a seperate post –so many are the issues Senator Petain raises.

    Like, just for starters, video Jean, or it never happened.

  46. McGehee says:

    Is it Petain, or LePetomane?

  47. palaeomerus says:

    Senator Petard is more like it. Fppphhrrrttttbbbtttthhttt.

  48. newrouter says:

    since leaving the service johnnymac has held phony baloney jobs.

  49. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Petain or LePetomane?

    I know they were both cheesy, but only one was a surrender monkey, right?

  50. Shermlaw says:

    Regarding Meghan’s daddy, The NYT via Ace. Yet GOP “leaders” still pay attention to that Quisling.

  51. newrouter says:

    for my friends and daughter,

    The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity

  52. Mike LaRoche says:

    W+T=F?

  53. leigh says:

    Excellent, Mike.

  54. Mike LaRoche says:

    Excellent, Mike.

    Well, we historians like our math simple, straight, and to the point. ;-)

  55. newrouter says:

    wtf = cair

  56. BigBangHunter says:

    – This always happens whenever theres math.

  57. Mike LaRoche says:

    wtf = cair

    Not sure whether I should SMH or LMAO.

  58. Mike LaRoche says:

    Come to think of it, perhaps bodies as dense as those of Chris Christie and Meghan McCain should stay apart. Wouldn’t want to create a singularity.

  59. newrouter says:

    SMH sounds dangerous

  60. newrouter says:

    it is the fatty moving into the mccain vacuum that causes fracking in space and time = rod surly

  61. BigBangHunter says:

    – Yeah. A really serious case of SMH would be just TFB.

  62. Mike LaRoche says:

    There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as Chris Christie’s backside and as empty as Meghan McCain’s head. It is the middle ground between hohos and twinkies, between amnesty and sequestration. You have entered the RINO zone.

  63. Ernst Schreiber says:

    What quisling is Shermlaw talking about?

    There’s so many too choose from.

  64. geoffb says:

    Tip of the iceberg found so all is well.

  65. serr8d says:

    Finally. Got it Tweeted.

  66. RE: McGehee at 25 Sept at 05:44:

    Lenin’s way of dealing with the Mensheviks:

    We’ll ask the man, where do you stand on the question of the revolution?

    Are you for it or against it?

    If he’s against it, we’ll stand him up against a wall.

  67. Car in says:

    It’s too little, too late.

  68. McGehee says:

    I’m sure the Russian Mensheviks were as averse to answering a simple yes or no question with either a yes or no, as our American Mensheviks are.

    And I’m equally sure that Lenin interpreted any answer that wasn’t an immediate and unnuanced “yes” as a “no.”

  69. You are correct.

    Them walls got a lot of use and abuse.

  70. McGehee says:

    Just noticed the juxtaposition: to stand against the revolution is to stand against a wall.

    And here I thought revolutions were supposed to be dynamic.

  71. EBL says:

    If animal husbandry has taught us anything, it would be if Meghan McCain and Chris Christie had kids they would be exceedingly fat and annoying.

  72. Ah, Evi, quite true, but they’d have big bazongas.
