Paul Begala treats Meghan McCain like an adult, and she doesn’t like it:

Partial transcript:

MCCAIN: The Obama administration has to stop completely blaming everything on its predecessor. I’m sick of hearing well we were handed this. I know, I know. Everybody knows. But we need to move on.

MAHER: You think that’s what Obama’s doing?

MCCAIN: I do, to a degree.

BEGALA: Well, not to enough of a degree. Not nearly enough. Ronald Reagan blamed Jimmy Carter every day for 8 years.

MCCAIN: You know, I wasn’t born yet, so I don’t know.

BEGALA: I wasn’t born during the French Revolutino, but I know about it.

MCCAIN: You clear know everything, and I’m just a blonde.
