Reading her article in The Daily Beast will clear things up a bit.

It seemed to me she was just being herself, no ulterior motives.

I follow Meghan McCain on Twitter so I had the pleasure of experiencing this in real time both the posting of the picture and the immediate rebuttals and reaction. Read it all here http://twitter.com/McCainBlogette

She reacted to the public's reaction like a normal person over the twitterstream and seemed genuinely angry and upset at the public's overreaction. I even saw her send a tweet saying "I am so f***ing quitting Twitter" and "Why if a woman wears a tanktop and sweat pants is she considered a slut". This does not do much to say her motives but I can also say that moments before that twitpic was posted she was doing as she usually does and letting us know that "I'm staying in tonight. gonna read my new Andy Warhol book" and then her next tweet was "the pic".

Too quote Meghan herself, from her article on the subject in The Daily Beast.

~quote

"To be honest, I don’t feel that I have anything to feel ashamed of. I’ve always embraced my curves and will continue to do so."

~endquote

When she posted this article to Twitter she indicated that this was going to be the last she would speak on the topic.

What I like about following Meghan is she comes across as real and even as a celebrity she still seems down to earth. She even took the time to equate this incident to Breast Cancer Awareness Month by posting a tweet linking us to the Breast Cancer Awareness homepage and also linking us to something called "Twibbon" which put the little pink awareness ribbon on my Mahalo avatar as well my Twitter avatar.

So if she is guilty of anything or had done this twitpic posting with an ulterior motive it (unlikely) was to raise awareness for Breast Cancer and in this case it really doesn't matter Breast Cancer Awareness Month was the beneficiary from the publicity of this incident.

If anyone would like to show their support for Breast Cancer Research by placing the Twibbon on their Twitter avatar ~~~>Click here
