Meghan McCain, who loves her some "True Blood," is all for gay marriage and wondered out loud "who the hell is Sarah Palin" when her dad, presidential hopeful Senator John McCain attached his GOP wagon to the then unknown Alaskan mama Grizzly, is promoting her new book, "Dirty Sexy Politics."

One effervescent interview with the NYTimes revealed that McCain's TV friends like Sherri Shepherd of The View don't want her lumped in with Palin's reality TV star daughter, Bristol Palin, hoofing it this season with Mark Ballas on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

In the Times interview, McCain revealed she was contemplating a TV show: “very, very baby stages of some television stuff, just development,” to which McCain clarified, “I would never do a reality show, ever.”

From the Times:

"Could a 'Meghan McCain Show' be a reasonable future move? 'It’s easy to imagine that she could pull it off,' said (Edward) Felsenthal, [executive editor of The Daily Beast where McCain blogs]...

['The View's' Sherri] Shepherd had a still stronger reaction, 'I absolutely see Meghan in television. When she comes on and talks she puts the ideologies in practical terms, and she makes it so you understand.' She added, “Meghan will never have to go on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ Ms. Shepherd was alluding to another female figure in the Republican political scene: Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol, who is to appear on 'Dancing with the Stars' this fall."
