CNN

WHO CARES.........

Thats great. We all love and admire you McCain but there's NO way we want you as our President.

please dont have your dad read excertps of the book from a teleprompter

at leats she's pretty

Barnie, you do know that McCain's son has served a tour in Iraq and a tour in Afganistan right?

Actually, McCain son is fighting in Iraq. One of the few politicians who has a child over in Iraq. Yet, the liberal media doesn't mention this at all.. I wonder why...

My Daddy is a good Daddy. Tell you're mommy and Daddy to vote for my Daddy!

The characters should be a cute little chameleon.

What a beautiful Presidential daughter we will have.

STUPID PUBLICITY BY MCCAIN CLAN.

Wow.........Just like the I got a crush on Obama story, the only topic in this is that she maybe a first daughter.

McCain has a daughter?

Whatever! These people are so pathetic! They will do anything for a buck and now they're starting to taint the youth!?!?!??! Thats worse than Oreilly's book for the youth!

Aint she hot?

Really, I have at add to "the who cares"? Come on CNN, try to stay on track with the issues!
John McCain's life is not good material for a children"s book. Yes, he was a hero and I thank him for that but no, I do not him to be my President.

Does this count as a political contribution by Simon & Schuster?

Wow, she's hot.

Vote for her over her father.

And just what is she going to teach the kids?
OH...may daddy's favorite song is "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran." And my daddy says that getting our troops out of Iraq is "not too important".
My daddy also believes that we should be in Iraq for "100 years". My daddy is going to work to get Roe VS. Wade overturned and take away another victory that women have won. MY daddy will also work to get more U.S. jobs outsourced to other countries.

Why is this considered "Ticker" news???

I suppose the two beautiful little Obama girls should write a children's book that's really written by children and not Republican partisans who want to use it to help an old war mongerer continue the Bush legacy.

Remember, people, the same people who run (ruined) the government now will continue business as usual under a McCain administration.

Hmmm looks like Meghan's taking a leaf out of Jenna's book…

good for her to make money out of it but not good for American people at large. Bacause that's got nothing to do with me whether McCain has some sort of experience but the question is.. Will that be the true and the kind of experiences this country needs? Hope so.. because that's what we getting tired of; the kind of experience which we expect a different result but instead we ended up with the same kind of results in Washington, again and again getting tired of it. We need a different direction. Don't you people understant that?? New ideas, new ways of handling things in Washington. Amen!

This is funny, because all the people who say "Why is this news?" would be saying "That proves that she's a caring, thoughtful lady" if Michelle Obama were to write a children's book.

Glad to see that Meghan is doing something positive.

Laura and Jena just finished a children's book. I wonder if that is where she got the idea...

Maybe she can read some to daddy... Be careful with the big words.

Who cares what about this Unjust War?

I wish her the best of luck.

By the way, her dad's REAL AGE is 63.7 years, according to Newsweek.

We don't care about his daughter CNN.

Don't forget to mention the Keating Five scandal, the sharing of valuable information with the enemies while a POW, his first marriage, and the 100 year war.

YES SHANNON GET READY! She has the right to vote for her own father but he seems out of touch with reality.

She needs money since her Mother is so broke but and to think it isnt all going to this charity for this Bush/Cheney" the Oil M egas Republican war they started "Those crooked creeps .

I guess she got over her dad leaving her mom for Cindy. Will her children's book talk about cheating dads?

Wait...last time I checked, she was into music & fashion.

Now Children's book?!

Since when did this become news. I also wrote a Childrens book can you please promote me too.?

That is not a kids book topic, that is straight out propaganda

Good for her. Her dad is an American hero and it is great for kids to learn about him.

I don't support him for President. I do respect the man and thank him for his service to this country.

I support Obama fully and completely. That does not mean I can't respect the efforts of Senator McCain's daughter.

Hmmm looks like Meghan's taking a leaf out of Jenna's book...If we believe in 'like father like daughter', maybe we can now say, like GW like McCain.......two peas in a pod!!

To Shannon,

On behalf of the Obamites, we think it is great that his daughter is writing a book for children! Looking forward to many more!

how convenient! Great timing! well, I think you can soften the image of the man by writing a children's book about him, and yes, that will show another side of Mccain, but it is the man himself and his behavior that will really count. By the way, all the younger generation and children trying to represent their parents in this election, just to mirror the young and vigorous Obama will not help. The children are not running for president.
Obama 08,12

I would consider buying the book for my kids as long as it doesn't contain any details about McCain's habit of chasing lobbyist skirts

Good for you Meghan! McCain is the only wise choice left for 08!

Nast, nasty people. Shut up if you can't say anything nice.

Writing a children's book, eh? Never heard *that* one before.

WHY DOES NO ONE MENTION HIS OTHER DAUGTHER WHO WAS ADOPTED FROM BANGLADESH????????

Is she the daughter of Cindy McCain or of McCain's first wife, the one he abandoned after she was in a debilitating car crash?

Sooooooooooooooooo. Does this mean the "old man" loves children? What is the relavence of this story when our young men and women are dying in Iraq?

Barnie - this falls into that "other ways to serve" category. I imagine writing children's books can be very dangerous, what with dealing with lethal negative reviews and such.

In response to Barnie- McCain does have a son who is a marine stationed in Iraq presently, and another who attends the US Naval Academy.

MR. AMERICA will point out she doesn't need the money.
If other Americans were rich and did not need to work, this endevor may be appealing to them as well. But we've got our time invested in staying alive lol.

Great, I hope it is out by Christmas so that I can give it to the little ones in my life as a Christmas present, thus they will learn about another American who persevered.

I hope Chelsea writes one about Hillary.

This is amazing! I'm voting for McCain.

I wish her success with the book and by all the snide comments I can tell that all your children are working on the cure for cancer.

It's all about cashing in on her name. At least her publicist is smart enough to know to release the book before he loses the election in November..

This the new Republican strategy.... get'em REALLY young... before Obama can get them all fired up and ready to go!

Why isin't she in uniform, oh, sorry, I forgot, only ture Americans will serve, republicans don't serve anymore.

Maybe they'll use her to get people men to show-up to McCain pep rally's.

This isn;t news and more a story about an oportunistic person.

this is major news why ?

Her earrings are so big that you could illegally immigrate through them.

Nonetheless, no one cares about the McCain family. Let me know when Barack writes another book. Now there's a real author!

Who hasn't written a children's book? Ho hum! Just another gimmick.

WHO CARES!!!!!!???????

I am a Mother first, Citizen, and a Proud Democrat.............I THINK THIS IS GREAT....... I LOVE IT WHEN OUR YOUNG PEOPLE SUCCEED AT GREAT GOALS.....WISHING YOU THE BEST......

I hope she success and I hope she DO NOT ask her father to make a speech by reading from a teleprompter.

Now is this a daughter from his first wife that McCain threw away when he came home to find her crippled and disfigured or a daughter from the current wife that he cheated with and married one month after he got divorced. I can't imagine she'd have too many good things to say about a man that calls his wife a trollop in public and even worst a c**t. I feel sorry for her.

Dave in NC you took the words right out of my keyboard. lol. Revisionist history most certainly! The book will NOT include his "character building events that happened over his lifetime."

Keating Five; Mafia connection; Cheating on Carol McCain;
Sexist remarks to his current wife; Slight to Hillary Clinton (remember the audience member who asked, "How do we beat the B***." and he beamed with pride, totalling relishing the moment.

The book won't be under my Christmas Tree. Don't expect it to be on Oprah's list either.

I also suggest her to write something for the military kids. Their parents are away from house for years, so she can explain to them how Dady doesn't want them to be home soon.

I'm sure she means well, but McCain's life story as a children's book?

A military family; a prisoner of war; tortured; first wife in horrible car accident; cheated on first wife while still married ; dumped first wife for bimbo; Keating scandal; off-color jokes about daughter of former president; senile old goat who doesn't know what he's talking about.

Sounds like a delightful story for youngsters!

And this is political news why???? Should be in the Entertainment section.

A portion of the proceeds? Good grief. That won't make a dent in the cost to vets. Her mother is a multmilliomaire-can't she donate all the receipts or can't she live off that trust fund? Give us a break!

It is called " Keating Five Tales for Children!

She get her looks from her mother she is one beautiful lady..

Hey, I know McCain is trying to reach a younger demographic, but this is ridiculous. Oh well, at least he will benefit from this, some of the proceeds are going to veterans who have brain injuries.

She is in it to make a buck. But this book better not be an dull and dry as her father speaks, do she willhave to pay Simon & Schuster for printing it.

Fiction book often sell better than non-fiction.

Whats that got to do with the price of gas.

And we care because....

I wonder how the illustrator will draw Marie, the "Flame of Florida".

Can she writes about children lives in IRAQ?

Wow...and this is news because? You would think that they would cover serious issues on CNN...and yet, we get to know that Senator Obama goes for bike rides and McCain's daughter is writing a children's book about her father the "war hero". I have nothing against Senator McCain, but this is just retarded...

WHO THE HELL CARES AND WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING
UNLESS SHE IS HIS VP

Probably not Dave. I don't even think they have that in Today's History Books. Have anyone notice that Republican Presidents and nominee's children write 'Children's Books'?

Wonder whats up with that?

Propaganda.

Vote Obama '08

Gotta love having a famous dad, because I'm sure she wouldn't get word one published otherwise.

Maybe she could read it to Bush

Has this book deal been vetted? Did Daddy call a friend at the publishers? Getting a book by an unknow author published in 3 months must be a record. Do the publishers have questionable mortgages we should look into? Where is the other portion of the book sale going, increasing the trust fund? See how McSame likes it when the shoe is on the other foot.

Its Good That You Are Writing A Book For Kids! But Since I Dont Want My Children Drafted For War With Iran I Wont Be Voting For Your Dad!

Who CARES?!?!?!

BIG DEAL!!!

Dave in NC: that was great .. lol

How does that work? "and then little Johnny was sent to fight for his country, but he was tortured severely for years, then Johnny came home to find his wife crippled from a car accident, so he saw other women behind her back. Then one day, Johnny met Cindy, called her a c$&t for everyone to hear. And they all lived happily ever after... Until America was destroyed for letting its stupidity run rampant."

Sure.

Great Point!!!!

Dave in NC,

Exactly what I was thinking. Somehow I don't see the kids being able to grasp that. Although they are dealing with more and more adult issues these days.

BIG WHIP CNN! Why is she any different from anyother candidate's kid? Chelsey Clinton played a major part in her mother's campaign. Why don't you put your resources to good use and do a report on something that truely effects this nation! You are really reaching with this story! Next you will be reporting on Cindy McCain's shopping sprees!

There's a lot of this going around. Why do Republicans want to write children's books?

Cowritten with Paris Hilton. The irony of the proceeds going to the vets who were maimed by her fathers politics is a nice touch.

Good for you Meghan! The McCain family seems to be in touch with the real world. Their dad...well...he's a good man trying to be in touch. John McCain has a son in the Marines who served in Iraq. That means a lot to us with service ties.

And this is news ....................................

I'd vote for her before I voted for her father. Atleast she intends to educate our children rather then kill more of them in a foreign country by leaving them there for 100 years because 'it's not important' when they come back.

How is this news?

I can't wait to read the nasty comments from the Obamites.

While McCain sends other people's children off to Iraq to be maimed or killed, his daughter will be writing a children's book. Bush's daughter just got married. Does anyone see a pattern?

Why are you reporting this stuff?

Show us how great an influence he had on you by joining the Army and going to Iraq. Support your dad. YOU GO GIRL.

She's hot, but Mccain still shouldn't be president.

Oh boy, propaganda for the young!

Wonder if she'll include anything about the Keating Five.
