Then again, he’s her only claim to fame.

Via Politico:

With Father’s Day this weekend, Meghan McCain opens up to Take Part about her dad, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), and reveals some noteworthy nuggets about her famous pop.

Like:

“He’s very stubborn; so am I. Both of us are very strong-willed, very Type A.”

“[M]y whole family is not super touchy-feely emotional.”

“My dad is just like an old-school ballsy sailor, in the best way possible.”

In fact, Meghan McCain says that her father is a throwback to a bygone era.

“He’s like this old John Wayne character. If someone’s trying to bulls—- him, he will cut them off immediately and not have anything of it. He gets up at six in the morning and goes hiking all day in Sedona and then comes back and barbeques all these ribs and all this steak and then wants to watch old western movies. He’s just very old-school. Like an old cowboy, or an old, well, military dude. There aren’t a lot of guys out there like that anymore. It’s kind of an era gone by.”
