UPDATE: Meghan McCain responded to Glenn Beck's mockery of her in a Thursday column for the Daily Beast.

"Clearly you have a problem with me, and possibly women in general, but the truth is, it’s 2011 and I heard your show on Fox was canceled," McCain wrote. "Isn’t that an indication that the era of the shock jock pundit is over?...There really is no need to make something like my participation in a skin cancer PSA into a sexist rant about my weight and physical appearance, because I’m going to let you in on a little secret, Glenn: you are the only one who looks bad in this scenario, and at the end of the day you have helped me generate publicity for my skin cancer PSA, a cause that I feel quite passionate about."

ORIGINAL STORY: Cindy McCain lashed out at Glenn Beck after he mimed vomiting over her daughter Meghan's recent skin cancer PSA.

McCain was only one of the women featured in the ad, which compared not wearing sunscreen to being naked, and which showed McCain seemingly naked.

On Beck's Wednesday show, he and his co-hosts spent over eight minutes mocking McCain. Beck pretended to vomit repeatedly (with detailed sound effects) while looking at McCain's ad or even hearing her name.

"Put some extra clothes on," he said. "Like, lots of extra clothes...has she thought about a burqa, just to be extra safe?"

McCain's mother, who has suffered from skin cancer, was not happy, and she fired off this tweet on Wednesday afternoon:

I could care less, but I will add that Meghan McCain is a nobody, I have no idea why anyone pays attention to her, at all.

Well, you don't want to be criticized, don't claim you are naked in a commercial.

Why would she be happy? But she should be unhappy at her completely disrespectful daughter.

I don't care what the McRinos have to say until they are willing to admit they are long time Democrats.

Everyone is somebody, Beck can be a real pompous ass a lot of the time. With all the really serious issues to be discussed why go out of your way to ridicule Meghan, leave her out of the lime light and she will go away.
