Meghan McCain complains about Wanda Sykes’ jokes at Correspondents dinner

Saturday night was one of the biggest nights in Washington, the annual White House Correspondents dinner. Politicos, journalists, celebrities and everything in between put on conservative black-tie dress and listen as people make uncomfortable jokes about the president, the cabinet, the press, and pretty much everybody else. Some weird stuff has gone down at Correspondents’ dinners in the past, but this year’s seemed pretty tame. No rapping Karl “MC” Rove, no Stephen Colbert mocking President Bush to his face.

Meghan McCain took note of some of the jokes aimed at her family, though, and complained about Wanda Sykes routine. Wanda made fun of nearly everyone, and a few of her jokes were in poor taste. But what Wanda said about the McCain family wasn’t even that bad: “Sen. McCain gave you grief about the new helicopters you didn’t order… I think Mr. McCain was a little bitter because he wanted to be in the new helicopters. Mr. McCain, I’m sure if you ask nicely, your wife will buy you a new helicopter.” Haha, a rich joke. It wasn’t even very original, but it still upset Meghan. Of course, the New York Daily News is reporting that Meghan was acting like a spoiled little princess the whole night, so perhaps it wasn’t just the joking:

[Meghan McCain] lost it after getting stopped by security when she arrived at the White House Correspondents dinner Saturday. The problem? She had only two tickets, but brought two friends.

“The security guard sent her to talk to someone to sort out the situation, but Meghan got bratty and nastily told him, ‘We’ll just stand here then,’ like an insolent child,” our source said, adding that after dealing with the guard, “She muttered to her friends, ‘Does he even know who the f— I am?’ ”

An insider told us, “Those tickets were harder to get than gold dust and Meghan blatantly only had two and thought she didn’t have to follow the same rules as everyone else.”

The vocal McCain “was complaining about everything from the air-conditioning to the wait,” says our leak.

Once inside, the bubbly blond’s mood didn’t improve; she was annoyed at Wanda Sykes roast.

“Sen. McCain gave you grief about the new helicopters you didn’t order,” said Sykes, adding, “I think Mr. McCain was a little bitter because he wanted to be in the new helicopters. Mr. McCain, I’m sure if you ask nicely, your wife will buy you a new helicopter.”

While the assembled crowd of politicos, journalists and celebrities roared with laughter, Meghan was not among them.

“I didn’t like the joke about my mom [Cindy],” the young McCain told us after the dinner. “Why talk about her at all? I (didn’t mind the jokes) about my dad, but leave my mom out of it. It really wasn’t in good taste.”
