Cyberspace is still atwitter over this pic of Meghan McCain’s cleavage.
The daughter of former GOP presidential candidate John McCain set off a media firestorm late Wednesday after she Twitpic’d an image of herself busting out of a tank top. After getting wind of the backlash, Meghan wrote on her Twitter, “I took a fun picture not thinking anything about what I was wearing, but apparently anything other than a pantsuit I am a slut.” She later added, “When I am alone in my apartment, I wear tank tops and sweat pants, I had no idea this makes me a ’slut’, I can’t even tell you how hurt I am.”

Could it be it’s because I have breasts? Because for those of you who didn’t know, I have two. They’re larger than some women’s and not as big as others. I don’t usually show off my cleavage—as I did in the photos I posted—which I will admit is not the smartest thing I have ever done. But it’s just not worth the drama it caused.
