Meghan McCain Obnoxious To Everyone At WHCD

He did not get me enough ticketsEveryone was so mean to Meghan McCain at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it says in the papers! Oh my. Meghan wanted to bring all her girlfriends in so they could be gettin’ that drink on, grindin’ up against Mark’s Penn’s leg, woot woot, Meghan just being Meghan, right? But then they only gave her two tickets, right? And she needed three, right? If only those security slaves knew that she was a columnist for a little thing called UMM THE DAILY BEAST, then they wouldn’t be gettin’ all up in her grill. Right?

If Meghan ever wants to make Admiral like her grandfather and great-grandfather, this will not do:

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.

Then she got mad at Wanda Sykes for making a joke about how Cindy McCain is rich. Cindy, meanwhile, was able to handle it.

    What a twit.

  2. ManchuCandidate says at 3:15 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Awwwwwww. Po’h widdle Meg.

    How does it feel to be the Meg Griffin of the US America Political world?

  3. V572625694 says at 3:16 pm, May 11th, 2009

    proudgrampa: You’re one letter off.

  4. TimesUp says at 3:17 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Nothing worse than an entitled podunk.

  5. Brendan M. says at 3:18 pm, May 11th, 2009

    And yet we never hear the Liberal MSM report on Sasha’s and Malia’s temper-tantrums. Typical.

  6. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 3:18 pm, May 11th, 2009

    This is me.
    Not surprised.
    That was she.
    Thunder thighs.

    I’d still hit it.

  7. brassbear says at 3:19 pm, May 11th, 2009

    “She muttered to her friends, ‘Does he even know who the f— I am?’”

    I’m the Juggernaut, bitch!

  8. Terry says at 3:19 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Sounds like Meghan takes after her Daddy.

  9. Texan Bulldoggette says at 3:19 pm, May 11th, 2009

    ‘Does he even know who the f— I am?’

    Ummm…I’m guessing yes, but he didn’t care & thought it was funny to bring the princess down a couple pegs?? Or maybe he didn’t know who she was & he was just tying to do his job & keep out grifters who didn’t have a ticket.

  10. CorkPopper says at 3:19 pm, May 11th, 2009

    STAY STRONG MEGHAN. We know that you’re fragile, stretched so thin with all those jobs you do, who can blame you for snapping at people (security guards! who probably don’t have a single rich or famous person in their family! what the fuck do they know!) that expect you to follow rules and stuff.

  11. SayItWithWookies says at 3:20 pm, May 11th, 2009

    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.

    Hmmm…did someone have a late-night auditing session?

  12. 4tehlulz says at 3:21 pm, May 11th, 2009

    V572625694: twut?

  13. memzilla says at 3:23 pm, May 11th, 2009

    It’s this self-righteous attitude of presumption that says everything about the Republitards.

  14. V572625694 says at 3:26 pm, May 11th, 2009

    “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.”

    Ha ha ha…

    And why does Wonkette continue to exhibit its hate for America by ignoring this important topic in the same NY Daily News article quoted above? (which also includes the scariest picture ever of Meghan):

    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.

  15. Aurelio says at 3:27 pm, May 11th, 2009

    That childhood portrait of Meghan and Walnuts puts Meghan in the ranks of the formerly cute. Of course, all little girls are cute–even Rhoda in The Bad seed.

  16. Country Club Jihadi says at 3:28 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Who designed Mali-Moo Barbie’s frock? A Gitmo Jumpsuit would have been more slimming. I can only imagine the amount of foundation smeared all over it as she drunkenly pulled it off over her head at the end of the night. Gross.

  17. chascates says at 3:31 pm, May 11th, 2009

    From now on I’d like the White House Correspondents Dinner to allow only White House correspondents to attend it. No Meghan, Ashton & Demi, and only Beltway elected officials.

    And only Wanda Sykes, Steven Colbert, or Jon Stewart can be the comedian. Also, only American beers & wines. And Dijon-style mustard on every table..

  18. SnarkittySnarkSnark says at 3:32 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Also, right?

  19. Crab1 says at 3:33 pm, May 11th, 2009

    V572625694: bitch needs hydroxycut.

  20. JadedDIssonance says at 3:34 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Todd and Greta totally had an all-night Detox Session after.

  21. magic titty says at 3:35 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Hahaha. Writing to tips@wonkette really does work!

  22. Cape Clod says at 3:35 pm, May 11th, 2009

    ‘Does he even know who the f— I am?’

    Yeah, you’re the daughter of the guy who lost. That makes you a loser, once removed. This country has a hallowed tradition of making fun of losers, and of making fun of fabulously wealthy people who never worked a fucking day in their lives. It’s called America. You should look into it sometime.

  23. Hart88 says at 3:38 pm, May 11th, 2009

    ‘Does he even know who the f— I am?’

    Yes, yes he does. Eat shit, Meghan.

  24. hobospacejunkie says at 3:39 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Country Club Jihadi: As her two friends drunkenly pulled it off Meghan at the beginning of DC Girls Gone Wild.

  25. Hart88 says at 3:39 pm, May 11th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: Alas, God doesn’t love me that much

  26. frailamerica says at 3:42 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Yeah, her life as a Republican…all 1 year of it.

  27. suchsweetthunder says at 3:43 pm, May 11th, 2009

    I think all y’all are being assholes. There’s no reason that security has to be tight at an event where the PRESIDENT OF THE FREE WORLD speaks.

  28. freakishlystrong says at 3:48 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Well, Heidi and Spencer did get gay-married after all, and I’ve heard they’re inseperable! My money is on Spencer, and his flesh colorerd beard, kickin’ Heidi to the curb…

  29. the lady MS.Sheila Dixon says at 3:48 pm, May 11th, 2009

    4tehlulz: tlit

  30. snideinplainsight says at 3:50 pm, May 11th, 2009

    I bet Meghan McCain would have fed the duck. She’s so thoughtful, that one.

  31. 51dimes says at 3:51 pm, May 11th, 2009

    I’m guessing she could have gotten both friends into the event AND ended her unwilling absitnence if she had only been quick on (off?) her feet.

  32. Brendan M. says at 3:54 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Crab1: A little harsh, don’t you think? Maybe not harsh enough. Hmm, let’s wait until we see the reviews of her book.

  33. GaySailor says at 3:54 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Bush Twins behavior part deux? Too bad Daddy did snag the Oval Office so Princess’s life wouldn’t be easier and tickets irrelevent. Too, too bad… cluck… cluck…

  34. “Does he even know who the f— I am”

    Yes; and you’re going to a dinner where all the invitees are famous-for-DC folks, so besides the normal assholeness of that response, who you are really doesn’t matter.

  35. Noonan says at 3:58 pm, May 11th, 2009

    I wish I could explain away my desire to know Meghan McCain, biblically. I’m half worried she’d crush me, but maybe she’d Twat about it later.

  36. GaySailor says at 3:58 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Meghan and Daddy have something else in common! Meghan crashes parties and daddy crashes planes!

  37. lawrenceofthedesert says at 3:59 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Brendan M.: It’s a very valid comparison, Brendan, as long as you accept that most Democrats achieve a level of maturity in middle school that Republicans don’t reach until their late twenties. It’s a concept I certainly have no problem with.

  38. GaySailor says at 4:00 pm, May 11th, 2009

    did = didunt in above comment as in

    “Too bad Daddy didn’t snag the Oval Office so Princess’s life wouldn’t be easier and tickets irrelevent…”

    Damn I hate it when that happens…

  39. SlouchingTowardsWasilla says at 4:04 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Must be true if it’s in the New York Daily News.

  40. Gopherit says at 4:05 pm, May 11th, 2009

    I hope she uses that “Don’t they know who the fuck I am?” line when she’s pulling a train at Sturgis.

  41. GaySailor says at 4:06 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Noonan: Hey, Noonan, did I ever say the rest of us are sick to death of your endless over-the-top prattling prose? Well, not you the alias “Noonan”… The REAL Peggy Noonan. Seeing “Noonan” just made me “go off.” Damn, I get tired of hearing her try to wax poetic and laughingly FAIL because no one in their right mind talks in that ridiculous prose. Someone needs to adjust Peggy Noonan’s meds. She is WHACK! LOL!

  42. El Pinche says at 4:07 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Country Club Jihadi: Yeah, looks she went nuts with a Bedazzler and some curtains from La Quinta Inn.

  43. proudgrampa says at 4:08 pm, May 11th, 2009

    4tehlulz: Thank God she’s not a twin.

  44. June Cleaver 2.0 says at 4:13 pm, May 11th, 2009

    I’ll bet it’s the same guys who made Valerie Jarrett and Desiree Rogers show ID before THEY could get in. I love those guys!

  45. Gopherit says at 4:14 pm, May 11th, 2009

    proudgrampa: maybe she ate the twin? Daddy would approve of that.

  46. The Legend of TeaBagger Vance says at 4:16 pm, May 11th, 2009

    i’d still hit it

  47. engulfedinflames says at 4:20 pm, May 11th, 2009

    when did she get friends?

  48. imissopus says at 4:22 pm, May 11th, 2009

    CorkPopper: Meghan is many things, but stretched thin is definitely not one of them.

    I’d still hit it, though. More cushion for the pushin’, etc.

  49. 19kevin8 says at 4:22 pm, May 11th, 2009

    The Legend of TeaBagger Vance: As would I… I’d need it fresh though… I have standards when it comes to sloppy seconds.

  50. Accordion-o-rama says at 4:36 pm, May 11th, 2009

    “Does he even know who the f— I am?”

    “A c—!”

  51. thefrontpage says at 4:40 pm, May 11th, 2009

    WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE THIS MCCAIN PERSON, AND ALL OF THE OTHER MCCAINS IN POLITICS, JUST SHUT UP AND BE QUIET AND STOP BOTHERING THE REST OF THE WORLD?

    Yes, that question deserves to be in all-caps. She is really annoying, and a bit of a freak, on every level.

    If she was really so smart (a few people think she is), then she would know to just shut up and go away. But she doesn’t shut up and go away, so she’s not smart. Enough already! Go away!

  52. mookworthjwilson says at 4:43 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Accordion-o-rama: He only knew her by her old Secret Service codename “Stay Puft”

  53. Lord Growing says at 4:44 pm, May 11th, 2009

    What the leave out is the fact that, immediately before this, Matthew Yglesias was waved right through. With every member of his Mexican family in tow.

  54. heroinmule says at 4:47 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Could she try not to embody EVERY Millenial stereotype?

  55. slavojzizek says at 4:49 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Strangely, that headline makes me respect MM more. I mean, couldn’t happen to a douchier event, could it?

  56. TheNavOne says at 4:51 pm, May 11th, 2009

    This story should get more press so that the rest of the world too may know the awful plight of all Rich, White, Republican girls in America. A sad tale, indeed.

  57. mrpuma2u says at 5:11 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Does he even know who the %#$ I am?

    Oh yes he does, Meghan, and that is why you had a snowball’s chance in hell for that third ticket.
    Be happy they even invited you.

    Would I hit it? Hmmm the temptation to do it just for the “I nailed so and so” factor is strong, but I would be closing my eyes and thinking of Campbell Brown.

  58. assistant/atlas says at 5:15 pm, May 11th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: “the Meg Griffin of the US America Political world?” That is the best description I’ve ever heard of ole Meghan McCain pretty much ever.

    And for the record, I would hit it, but only in hatefucky, multiple-donkeypunch way. And it would have to be dark. And I would have to be drunker than Jim Newell at a fancy open-bar party.

  61. wagonjak says at 6:27 pm, May 11th, 2009

    I saw pics of all the pols and start at the WHCD, and the pic of her dress makes her look like a love child from the 60’s and is not at all flattering lto her plus figure…I’m not trying to be snarky here, but her outfit sucked…

  62. Noonan says at 6:57 pm, May 11th, 2009

    GaySailor: When I read your derisive words, I was literally planning the particulars of a sojourn to decry the horrors of homosexual miscreants at the finest academic institution regarding maritime affairs in the land: The United States Naval Academy. In my many years of experiences in dealing with seamen who are not averse to the rectal consumption of a homonymic fecund substance, I must say that your base comments are the most vile and repulsive attack upon a legendary écrivaine like myself.

  63. proudgrampa says at 7:12 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Noonan: You are GOOD!

  64. Noonan says at 7:39 pm, May 11th, 2009

    proudgrampa: That’s what your mother said, Trebek.

  65. iolanthe says at 8:12 pm, May 11th, 2009

    I’m built like she is (although I’m easily twice her age).

    And I know better than to wear white, especially white with a weird neckline and sleeve detail and spangles. A nice simple wrap dress would have accentuated the right things — both of them — and deaccentuated that extremely unfortunate midriff.

  66. GreatOldOnesParty says at 8:52 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Gopherit: I’d hit that. A lot.

  67. Bruno says at 9:20 pm, May 11th, 2009

    proudgrampa: I’m afraid to use Twitter. Did Meghan Twitter updated of this scandal, as it was happening, like backwards-B girl?

  68. Bruno says at 9:22 pm, May 11th, 2009

    The real reason is they had only 2 tickets but were planning on eating at least 4 dinners.

  69. Bruno says at 9:25 pm, May 11th, 2009

    “I didn’t like the joke about my mom”

    Someone has a sad her life is not worth mentioning, not even in jokes. They even brought Michael Steele into it, and who is he?

  70. Bruno says at 9:29 pm, May 11th, 2009

    I guess Todd Palin had no trouble at the door. How come he didn’t give Meghan his wife’s spare tixxx, or would Greta have been jelous?

  71. Mahousu says at 9:47 pm, May 11th, 2009

    You know, this is all Aaron Schock’s fault. If he had just said yes, Meghan would have dropped her girlfriends in a second and gone with him instead. 2 tix, 2 lovebirds, no problem.

  72. decora says at 8:50 am, May 12th, 2009

    you guys have flimsy evidence, and anonymous sources. its bullshit.

  73. decora says at 8:52 am, May 12th, 2009

    u have no evidence or named sources

  74. mookworthjwilson says at 9:00 am, May 12th, 2009

    what are “evidence” and “named sources”???

  75. Noonan says at 9:01 am, May 12th, 2009

    decora: Go away Meghan / Senator / Cindy.

  76. Joey Ratz says at 9:05 am, May 12th, 2009

    V572625694: F-wit?

  77. Carrie_Okie says at 9:32 am, May 12th, 2009

    Did she dial 911 to complain about the wait? I mean, aren’t they a family of traditions?

  78. FastMovingCloud says at 9:34 am, May 12th, 2009

    Terry: Anger management issues are a learned trait. She learned well from Grandpa McRage.

  79. off-white working class says at 9:54 am, May 12th, 2009

    …another exciting outburst from meghan “blowpig” mccain.

  80. Atlas Spanked says at 12:20 pm, May 12th, 2009

    This is all just Washingtonians sniping at each other with a layer of NY Daily “News” manure spread on top of it.

    I mean, MM is one of the more fuckable “independent minded” Republicans out there, and that’s a resource that needs to be preserved if we all want to have sex slaves we can degrade in the New World Order.

  81. Fatty.
