Subject line of a press release that made me freak out just now: "MEGHAN McCAIN IN PLAYBOY'S APRIL ISSUE."

Because she is stupid, noted daughter and NBC News analyst Meghan McCain told her audience today that the Obamas deserve "an emoticon of privacy." Twice. She meant "a modicum." So close, Meghan.

Many were loathed in 2011; these are the ones we call our own. This is not a list of the world's most loathsome characters. This is (with apologies to the NY Press) a list of Gawker's most loathsome characters. Learn them. Love them. Loathe them.

Tonight, the American Broadcast Company airs Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2011, wherein TV's grande dame of celebrity reacharounds offers profiles of some of the most spellbinding figures of our time. This year's list includes the likes of Katy Perry (fascinating breasts), Donald Trump (fascinating hair), Simon Cowell (also fascinating breasts), Herman Cain (finds breasts fascinating), and the Kardashians (fascinatingly stupid). As a companion piece, we have compiled this list of The 10 Least Fascinating People of 2011. Think of it as a love letter to everyone who bored, bothered, or left us utterly cold over the past 12 months.

In her new role as MSNBC's junior nepotism correspondent (reporting to senior nepotism correspondent Luke Russert) Meghan McCain interviewed Michele Bachmann. Among Meghan's hard-hitting questions: What were you like high school?

"Brooklyn in general is not a fun experience for me, because I look and act nothing like Zooey Deschanel." This according to the Twitter account of parallel universe First Daughter and MSNBC Chief Mental Fingerpainterist, Meghan McCain. Are you going to take this lying down, America's Dorkalicious Fantasy Girlfriend and/or the planet's Coolest City?

MSNBC has brought on noted idiot Meghan McCain as a political analyst, boosting their legacy stable of dolts spawned by famous political figures by a factor of two.

The long-awaited Meghan McCain dispatch from the front lines of Occupy Wall Street has arrived—and she supports their message! This is because she doesn't understand the mathematical concepts underlying "99%" and "1%."

As we speak, multimillionaire heiress Meghan McCain is occupying Wall Street and tweeting pictures from the trenches of wealth disparity. See that pile of garbage that separates her from the protesters? That's wealth disparity, materialized.

Meghan McCain is teaming up with Forest Whitaker and the USA Network to speak at a Newseum symposium called "A More Perfect Union: Stories of Prejudice and Power." Fishbowl DC reports:

Meghan McCain has successfully scared a conservative blogger into silence.

Meghan McCain would make an excellent 13-year-old. As a columnist, she is a thought-murdering demon of stupefaction. Today, she haz a sad about Barack Obama.

Last week, we got a glimpse of the Meghan McCain-bashing included in Bristol Palin's forthcoming memoir.

Finally, the political-daughter-turned-memoirist smackdown we've been waiting for: Bristol Palin is taking on Meghan McCain.

We here at Gawker have been too giddy ever since chief Daily Beast wordsmith Meghan McCain mentioned that she'd be interviewing Donald Trump. What nutty and awkward and flirtatious turns would this clash of egos take?

American idiot Meghan McCain has writed another column for the Daily Beast, which routinely passes along her Blackberried thoughts unedited, this time featuring a nontraditional spelling for the name of her father's campaign manager. Would you edit John Ashbery?

Like a haggard mother willing to sacrifice all her once-cherished notions of "responsible" parenting just to momentarily silence the ceaseless wails of her wayward toddler, the Daily Beast is now allowing Meghan McCain to write "comedy" pieces.

Today we learned about Meghan McCain's hatred of going to work when she's been dumped and love of landing airplanes on the Las Vegas Strip. She said: "The American dream of rags to riches feels attainable the minute your airplane lands on the Strip." Uh, airplanes don't land on the Strip! So we said that we could have titled the post: "Meghan McCain Lands Airplane on Vegas Street, Miraculously Avoids Killing Anyone." But a commenter had a better suggestion.

Meghan McCain would like you to know that she did not blow off a speaking engagement to party in Las Vegas. She blew off a speaking engagement because she got dumped, she announces today in The Daily Beast:

John McCain's unedited daughter, Meghan, scolded Rep. Michele Bachmann on MSNBC yesterday, calling her a "poor man's Sarah Palin" and "one rogue woman who couldn't even look into the camera directly." Watch out, Meghan! Michele Bachmann will be president soon.
