Meghan McCain a Real Pain at D.C. Dinner
The New York Observer ^ | May 11, 2009 | Staff Writer

Political blogger Meghan McCain isn’t exactly the toast of D.C. right now.

Sen. John McCain’s daughter — who writes online for The Daily Beast and will soon release a book about life as a Republican — 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.”

At least one member of the GOP had fun. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin couldn’t make the festivities due to tending to her state’s flooding problem, so she sent hubby, Todd, who had a whale of a time.

Todd happily lapped up the attention from his tablemates and rarely left the side of his date for the evening, Fox News anchor Greta van Susteren.

The two became so close that we caught them hanging out together well past midnight at Capitol File magazine’s annual after-dinner bash.

Seen and heard

Tom Cruise has so much charisma, he seems a natural politician. But when we asked the star if he would eventually make the move from Hollywood to Washington, he — very nicely — shot us down.

“I’m an actor, not a politician,” he said firmly. “Acting is what I’m good at, what I’ve been trained to do. I’d never do politics.” He added with a wink, “I think I have the better job!”

Michelle Obama is a busy woman these days. At the Correspondents Dinner VIP reception, a young boy asked the First Lady how her new puppy was doing. “Bo’s great,” Michelle told him, “but between Bo and the kids, things can get pretty hectic.” We’re pretty sure Arms of Steel Obama is handling things just fine.

Colin Firth speaking to his wife, Livia Giuggioli, in Italian while riding up in the elevator at the Washington Hilton. . . . Ludacris paying a visit to Vietnam veterans at D.C.’s Walter Reed Hospital. . . . ”Friday Night Lights” star Kyle Chandler enjoying a sightseeing tour around Washington.

Wicked whisper

Which married TV actor used the Correspondents Dinner as an excuse to meet up with his occasional mistress?

“Do you know who I am?”

Still like to see her qualifications for claiming Republican status. She’s not old enough to have been voting in many elections. Is it something else she inherited?

Yeah, I'm sure that Todd Palin was laughing at the joke about his daughter's pregnancy. And where was Meghan McCain's sensitivity about Palin's daughter?

Michelle Obama's mama is watching the kids. Michelle is busy ramping up to policy wonk appearing at a UN event and other appearances. We have another unelected co-president.

My understanding is when she got into “big time” TV, she had plastic surgery at the behest of her network (said to be Fox) and it went badly.

Hey Ann Archy,

We haven’t communicated in some time.

I just finished researching Greta’s “stroke.”

Unfortunately, Freeper Owl_Eagle is full of methane gas.

“...and it went badly.”

Yes, in my research I read that also.

Ain't that too darn bad...

Meghan McCain has been dishing it out to all and sundry for the past half year, in her neverending campaign to be every Democrat's favorite Republican. She should be prepared to take it, as well.

Poor little rich girl!

Political blogger Meghan McCain isn’t exactly the toast of D.C. right now.

Just because she ate all the food? That’s a poor excuse.

“Does he even know who the f-— I am?”

That fat, ugly, hateful slob learned her behavior from her father.

Children are good imitators of their parents, and it becomes part of their persona.

Through this slob, we can see how McCaine has always behaved in private life behind closed doors..

No problem.

I’m just wondering what the mistress deal is at the end of the article.

I’m surprised she’d be included on the guest list at all, but this article fails to mention if the snotty (w)itch got her way in the end.
