McCain Shuffle

Reversing all of one's previous political positions in a last-ditch effort to be nominated for President by a major political party.

Usually happens to a once-principled Republican who sells his or her soul to the fringe right to survive the primary process at the end of his or her career.
Romney really pulled a McCain Shuffle--first he was for an individual mandate, then abandoned RomneyCare when it looked like it might hurt his candidacy.

Pulling a Meghan McCain

Indicating ignorance on a subject to be somehow legitimate because "I wasn't born yet."

As when confronted by Paul Begala, on HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher, with the fact that Ronald Reagan blamed his problems on Jimmy Carter for many years, Meghan McCain responded, "I wasn't born yet, so I wouldn't know."

To which Begala replied, "I wasn't born during the French Revolution but I know about it!"
I asked my friend Daniel, "Who's bigger, Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley?"

Daniel: "Who's Elvis Presley?"

Me: "The King of Rock and Roll? Hello? '50s, 60s, 70s?"

Daniel: "How should I know? I wasn't even born then!"

Me: "Dude. Are you seriously pulling a Meghan McCain?"
