Meghan McCain with the reason she has a job as a writer

Well, Americans may have turned out the far right in the last election but New York publishers are welcoming them with open arms — not just the politicians themselves, but their entire families! First it was Laura Bush, now it’s Meghan McCain. Yes, John McCain’s 24-year-old daughter has signed a book deal with Disney imprint Hyperion for a reported “high six figures,” according to a report in the New York Observer. The announcement did not say what the book would be about, however.

McCain is a columnist for The Daily Beast, where recent columns have had headlines such as “Looking for Mr. Far Right” and “Quit Talking About My Weight, Laura Ingraham.”
