McCain Girl Responds to Critics

by Mark Boyer | March 31, 2008

The lead singer to the viral “Raining McCain” music video has posted a video response to unprecedented attention the video received in the past week. Given her tone (she uses cuss words!) and that she addresses it to “the haters,” I think this video settles once and for all the question of whether or not “Raining McCain” was an earnest appeal to vote for John McCain. This girl is clearly annoyed with the volume of negative comments and video responses she has received, “especially because nobody gives a crap about half or an eighth of what the fuck you have to say,” she says.

The good news, though, is that we can look forward to future McCain Girls videos — although it’s unlikely that they’ll ever be able to top the original.

I dunno. I just dunno. After all this time, speaking out? Why now? This seems like just the sort of thing a super post-post hipster (one whose sick mind could come up with Its Rainin McCain in the first place) would pull. This just adds fuel to the fire, furthering the stereotype that ALL mccain supporters are overweight tone-deaf losers. Now that’s just not nice.

Does this settle it? The article doesn’t make it clear to me that the McCain girls themselves don’t go out on a regular basis and get themselves absolutely John McCain. I mean, right?

there’s also this, as evidence. I couldn’t finish it, personally.
