This just in: Meghan McCain is releasing a new book. Sort of.
John McCain’s daughter’s latest foray into the literary arts will hit bookstores streaming services in October. Though it’s being billed as a book, “Bad Republican” is only being released in audio form, not in print.

According to the publisher’s summary, 36-year-old McCain “tells her story — in her own words — inviting listeners inside the unwavering heart and ferocious mind of a young conservative woman who refuses to back down.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In other words, she just going to talk about herself for five hours and 56 minutes and then package it as a memoir.

According to the publisher’s summary, the “memoir” will cover everything from being John McCain’s daughter to being John McCain’s daughter, with a few chapters devoted to her misadventures on the New York dating scene before she met her husband, noted homophobe and right-wing propagandist Ben Domenech.
McCain, who loved nothing more than to criticize guests on The View who had written tell-all memoirs, will also offer her personal insights on the topics she’s most passionate about, including cancel culture, internet trolls, and her hatred of Donald Trump.
. @MeghanMcCain appears so pleased with herself as she asks Mary Trump a question and then answers the question before Mary has the opportunity to respond. This is more attack than interview. pic.twitter.com/fPXYRXHGZW

“Bad Republican” will be available on Audible October 21. It will retail at $29.95. We did the math and that comes out to $.08 a minute.
Here’s how folx on Twitter reacted to the news about McCain’s new audiobook…
Makes me want to cancel my Audible subscription.

Wait-anytime someone was on the view with their memoir, didn’t she have the viewpoint it was purely greed for money? Funny how hypocrisy is so easy for her.

HARD PASS.

Will Meghan finally reveal who her father is or will we have to catch that on an episode of Maury?

Can we just stop hearing about McCain? Please, @audible_com Does anyone actually like her or do they listen to her out of respect for her amazing father?

Wasn’t she the one railing against behind the scenes tell-all books?

Anyone interested in a drinking game while listening? Take a shot every time she says “my father”

Has she done anything other than inherit a name and a fortune?

Nothing surprising about this newest move from zero-talent, famous-name inheriting narcissist and heiress Meghan McCain.
At least the “publisher” will save oodles by not having to buy back or find someone to sink money into buying copies of printed book to inflate and ensure sales!
BaltoSteve
Correct me if I’m wrong, and I am sure somebody on here will… If it comes out ONLY in audio form, isn’t it considered a spoken word album and not a book?
jcool
if that’s true, she could win a grammy in addition to the inevitable pullitzer.
DBMC
Is she really “writing” this or is she just going to talk and talk and talk?
Cam
So no publisher thought it was worth paying to create print books. A streaming book costs them nothing. That is the only way Meghan could release this thing.
Pretty embarrassing, I’m surprised she went through it it, unless she doesn’t think people can figure out that nobody wanted to put up any money to publish this thing.
trojanboy
I think it’s because she can’t spell.
Max
is the audio going to be in her usual The View rant-speaking manner where she goes on and one without taking a breath???
Jack
Ive heard her comment about how mean Queerty is to her. So keep it up Queerty.
BoomerMyles
When she ended her hosting on The View that should be the end of her.
QUEERTY, STOP COVERING HER!
Especially after she specifically called Queery “bullshit”.

Poor thing. So why are you here?

I might listen if it was in the voice of Darth Vader.
greekboy
Never heard of her before the View, and will never hear if her after the View.
BYE FELICIA!!!!!
