(CNN) – Meghan McCain says she's ready to quit Twitter all together after generating a wave of criticism from users of the popular social networking site Wednesday night for posting a picture of herself in a tank top that left little to the twitterverse's imagination.

The controversy began quietly enough when McCain, the vocal daughter of the former Republican presidential candidate, tweeted that her self described "spontaneous" night in included reading a biography of the iconic artist Andy Warhol and ordering takeout.

It was there the 24-year old McCain posted the photo of herself wearing a tank top that generated the subsequent controversy .

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."

But McCain did make one final tweet before the evening came to a close, posting a link to her latest column for the Web site The Daily Beast.

if the American Republican party wants votes they better keep her in their claws

Slut-shaming is vile even when the woman in question is promiscuous, and it's even worse when she's just chilling at home reading a book. Shit, when my roommates aren't home I hang out naked. Guess that makes me a hooker.

well, she obviously did not put up that photo, pushing her boobs that way, for no reason, so i don't get why she's acting surprised by the comments.

and i'm not saying there's anything wrong with the photo, or that she deserves the rude comments. i just don't get her acting as if she doesn't get it.

meow85 said:

and you also post internet pics of said hanging out? lemme know if ya do!

I have no problem with the picture, but does the average tanktop push your titties up under your chin?

Are we sure she isn't "milking" the situation to generate more attention?

Everybody and their mamma knows Meghan's got big boobs, so what. Big boobs in an underwire bra with a tank top are going to look that way with not much effort on her part. I don't think she was trying to go Playmate covergirl on us. Look at how many big titty women we have on the org: they roll of of bed and photowhore in tank tops all the time in full titted glory, and I would hardly think their pics are controversial.

The book is by Arthur Danto! I love his writings on art.

That aint no underwire bra...Thats one hell of a push up bra! Plus she looks a little to "round" and "full" for those puppies to be real! Unless, like i said...thats one hell of a push up! IMO!

Ottensen said:

I thought Meghan McCain was a little on the thick side to begin with, as I recall some other right wing pundit told her to shut her mouth when Meghan suggested that the GOP needed to start paying attention to younger voters. She then went on The View and told this pundit to "kiss her fat ass". At any rate, if she's a little chubby she's going to have some big boobs, but she would probably lose some volume if she decided to go anorexic (which she does not need to do BTW).

Ottensen said:

neither would i. but it's obviously meant to be a sexy shot -and not a "spontaneous" one to show us the book- and she's acting as if it isn't, which is the part i do not get.

is she the gay one?

PricelessHo said:

I'm saying calculating much?

Don't act like the little red riding hood when you were the one who was whistling for the wolves all along.....

And I agree, this dumb shit shouldn't get the brouhaha treatment,,,but then againt, US media is a "dumb shit" junkie to begin with.

No, she's the former Democrat that flipped when her dad ran for president.

Mars23 said:

some folks look like that just by crossing their arms

God she's an idiot.

man, tits could save the world if it weren't for bullshit like this...

She is thick. I already heard the fallout from the Republicans on her weight, and yes, for some, they think she's fat. I think she looks fine just as she is. Not everyone wants to look like Ann Skelator, or um Coulter.

PricelessHo said:

whether spontaneous or not, I still don't see the need for some to equate being an attractive girl, thick of waist and ample of boosom with being a slut. it's totally unnecessary. people are responding as if she were licking the damn book or simulating fellatio. it's ridiculous to me.

Ottensen said:

i agree, it's totally unnecessary, just not unexpected from some people.

i'd argue trickle-down economics with her all night

evenstar3 said:

I'm telling you, she's smart, attractive, rational, and has a great rack. She's the Republican Party's best hope

shes got some tig ol bitties!

Christopher said:

I'd hit it!!!!

I would be all buuuuurrrrrbbbbuuuurrrrrpppp in them!

She was trying to look sexy and succeeded. I suspect the only people pissed at this are extreme-left idiots, extreme-right uber-idiots, and flat-chested ugly chicks.
