Meghan McCain is defending Bristol Palin.
(CNN) - Meghan McCain has drawn headlines for her unfiltered take on the presidential campaign, but there’s one topic the outspoken daughter of last year’s Republican presidential nominee won’t touch: her father’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. In an interview with the Monday Morning Clacker blog, McCain discussed her love for burlesque queen Dita Von Teese, calling her “spectacular… everything she does is genius. Her book still sits on my coffee table.” She also said she was “inspired by Bikers For McCain and want[s] to go back to Sturgis next year and do bike week right.” But she wouldn’t be drawn into any assessment of Arizona Sen. John McCain’s vice presidential pick. “Sarah Palin is the only part of the campaign that I won’t comment on publicly,” she said.
Last fall, the younger McCain spoke out on behalf of Palin’s then-17-year-old daughter Bristol. "I have been on political stages and in campaigns since before I could walk or talk,” wrote Meghan on her campaign blog, McCainBlogette. “If there is one thing I have learned, it is that it is difficult to establish your identity and independence as the son or daughter of a politician. "It's a rough go being the son or daughter of a politician. I have not known Bristol Palin very long, but there is a certain kinship I feel to her as I do other political daughters such as Chelsea Clinton, Jenna and Barbara Bush and Mary Cheney. You can't fully understand it unless you have lived it. So I just wanted to let it be known that I support Bristol and the entire Palin family." McCain took an active role last year in her father’s campaign. Filed under: Meghan McCain
