Meghan McCain’s Twitter Tank Top Photo Sparked Storm

Meghan McCainMeghan McCain, a Daily Beast columnist and daughter of Sen. John McCain has sparked an internet storm by posting a picture of her in a tank top on Twitter that stirred up some criticism and plenty of retweets.

Meghan McCain apologized late Wednesday for that photo which shows her in a tank top, holding a copy of Andy Warhol’s biography, and her accompanying tweet referred to her “’spontaneous’ night in.”

The photograph apparently generated a string of negative responses, leading McCain to weigh in 15 minutes later: “so I took a fun picture not thinking anything about what I was wearing but apparently anything other than a pantsuit and I am a slut.”
“This is why I have been considering deleting my twitter account,” McCain, with close to 60,000 followers, continued in another tweet, “what once was fun now just seems like a vessel for harassment.”

Fifteen minutes later, McCain weighed in again, tweeting, “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.”

An hour later, the prolific tweeter said her decision was nearly made: “ok I am getting the f**k off twitter, promise not to delete my account until I sleep on it, thank you for the nice words supporters.”

However, McCain did make one final tweet before the evening ended, posting a link to her latest column for the Web site ‘The Daily Beast’. Meghan twitted that “I do want to apologize to anyone that was offended by my twitpic; I have clearly made a huge mistake and am sorry 2 those that are offended.”
