Meghan McCain To Write Children's Book

Daughter Of GOP Candidate Working On Picture Book About Her Father For Release In September

(AP)  Meghan McCain, daughter of the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee, is working on a picture book about her father, Sen. John McCain.

Meghan McCain's children's story, currently untitled, will be published by Simon & Schuster the first week of September, around the time of the Republican national convention.

"I am truly excited about the opportunity to write a children's book about my father, who is not only a fantastic dad, but also a great American," McCain, known for her blog, McCain Blogette, http://www.mccainblogette.com, said in a statement issued Wednesday by her publisher.

"This book will offer children the unique opportunity to see the character building events that happened over his lifetime, experiences that led up to his current bid to become the future president of the United States."

Financial terms for the book were not disclosed. Simon & Schuster said that a portion of its net proceeds would be donated to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which helps wounded veterans and military personnel. Meghan McCain has no current plans to make a similar contribution, according to Simon & Schuster spokesman Paul Crichton.

John McCain's wife, Cindy McCain, had agreed earlier this year to write a memoir for Penguin Group (USA), but she changed her mind, citing time limitations, and the deal was canceled.

Note: Simon & Schuster is owned by CBS.

Can''t write a book for adults?

Wow - another elitist daughters writing a children''s book for the kids who can''t read because her father voted for Bushit''s Every Child Left Behind except for Rich kids Administrative policies.

Maybe it will show how McBush left her mother for some Rich woman that could support his political career goals.

Here''s a catchy tune for her book.

"Did you ever wonder if your mom gave dad a ******** before she kissed you goodnight?"

I guess you have to be a President''s daughter or a Presidential hopefull''s daughter to get a book deal.

Awwwww...isn''t that cute. Maybe she can squeeze Jesus into the book so the Southern Baptist folks will like her daddy.....better.

It Takes A Republican? OOoo....I hope it''s a ''pop-up'' book with his daughter as the centerfold! :) I had not seen her before....she''s quite attractive. Nice going, Johnny! Glad the VC didn''t damage the old bean bag!!!!

Oh for heaven sake! We know about John McCain. We don''t need another book to get that he''s a punk-*** 2-timing mysogynist, and not a very bright one at that, because he hasn''t figured out that our troops and their families DO think its important to know when they might come home from that stupid, stupid war!

"Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain''s intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain''s hair and said, "You''re getting a little thin up there." McCain''s face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don''t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you ***." McCain''s excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days."
