Meghan McCain a real brat at WHCD

http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/us_world/NATL-Meghan-McCain-a-Real-Brat-at-Dinner-report-.html

Meghan McCain's temper tantrum was anything but politically correct.

The daughter of former presidential candidate John McCain reportedly threw a fit when she was stopped by security at the White House Correspondents dinner Saturday night because she had two friends in tow and only brought two tickets, according to the New York Daily News.

"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," a snitch told the paper. "She muttered to her friends, 'Does he even know who the f--- I am?'"

McCain's ticket tirade seemed uncalled for since invites to the annual Washington, D.C., gala attended by the president and members of the press were very difficult to come by -- but McCain "thought she didn't have to follow the same rules as everyone else," an insider told the News.

She was "complaining about everything from the air-conditioning to the wait," the source told the News.

McCain expressed what appeared to be frustration at the dinner in an entry on her Twitter page.

"WH correspondents dinner is a clusterf--- so far..." she wrote.

McCain, who writes a weekly column for the Daily Beast and has a book about life as a GOPer slated for release, was also ticked off by Wanda Sykes' roast of her mother.

"Sen. McCain gave you grief about the new helicopters you didn't order," the comedian said during the dinner. "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."

McCain didn't find the humor in Sykes' rant.

"I didn't like the joke about my mom," she said told the News 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."

1. "Like totally, does even know who I am. Like oh my god."

I'm not sure if this is true but I can imagine this reaction wouldn't be so far off.

[madaboutharry]

2. She may have a sense of entitlement.

This behavior actually sounds like PMS. I don't mean to be politically incorrect, but that is how it strikes me.

[RoadRage]

6. "PMS" = Princess McCain Syndrom..

:hi:

[yourguide]

7. Bingo.

[panAmerican]

22. LOL, thanks, I needed a good laugh!

[City Lights]

37. LOL! That's perfect!

:thumbsup:

[RoadRage]

3. Megan is kind of like Specter...

We only appear to like 'em because they piss off the Right so much. On any normal day when they're standing alone.. talking about what they actually think.... we wouldn't give 2 craps about them at all. It's just because they both send Rush running for the Oxy bottle that we even pay attention.

[Cha]

10. Precisely.

And, they are "totally" not as bad as vitters or ingraham.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

4. OMG! Wanda said a joke that implies Cindy McCain is rich! How dare she!

[Arugula Latte]

40. Doesn't she know? Those jokes are only funny if they're about Teresa Heinz Kerry.

[ObamaKerryDem]

48. I know, huh? The Republicans would've been laughing their asses off..

..had this been a WHCD during the Bush years and the joke was on Teresa. Oh wait, they've already worn that one out..

Hypocrites.

[AndyA]

5. Just another overindulged, spoiled, rich girl who doesn't think she's equal to others.

If she weren't born into a wealthy environment, she'd either be:

1. A crack ho shooting up in a dark alley.

2. Living in a run down trailer home with 4 kids and a live-in boyfriend/father. (The kids all have different dads, probably.)

She's much better off than most.

[Hutzpa]

8. Hey ! Meghan

I really have some love for you.....


these-nuts






:evilgrin:

[Political Tiger]

9. Cindy McCain played an active role in McShame's campaign

Giving that infamous speech where she flat out lied and said Obama refused to support the troops.

[Kahuna]

12. Sure did. Even accused Obama of not supporting HER son. nt

[ejpoeta]

36. didn't he also use her plane or something for a low price to his campaign?

though, he didn't let her do dancing with the stars. she definitely holds the purse strings, though, in that family. he knows who holds the checkbook. it's not off limits. when i think of all the bs crap cindy mccain said during the campaign about Michelle obama... "I have ALWAYS been proud of MY country!" of course she has. she is rich and white and hasn't had to go through the crap michelle obama has had to go through.

[NatBurner]

11. a whining, petulant McCain?

shocking

[BeyondGeography]

13. Actually, that joke got one of the biggest laughs of the evening

Way to keep it in the news, Cindy.

[ErinBerin84]

14. please, that joke was so tame.

It was the same joke that any comedian (or McCain himself) would have made if, by some freak accident, he became president. Does Meghan even know the other kinds of jokes that could have been made about John or Cindy McCain in place of that?

[Ilsa]

45. I agree completely. It was really kind of cool, thinking about Johnny

having to go to the missus about getting himself a helo. Neat joke.

Looks like she learned alot of sailor language from Daddy, too.

[Fleshdancer]

15. Normally I would have something snarky to say about this....

but it's just not as much fun when I know republicans will be attacking her over it. Who knew republicans eating their own would begin to get boring for me? x(

[asphalt.jungle]

16. compare that to the reaction of Valerie Jarrett and Desiree Rogers

when they were stopped by security and had to produce IDs.

[Tutankhamun]

17. She probably just couldn't wait to start cramming some more calories in her face.

[ErinBerin84]

21. aw, that's mean.

Don't get me wrong though, I don't like Meghan. Plus, I sure don't remember Cindy McCain keeping Michelle Obama out of it, so whatever Meghan.

[lunatica]

23. How clever of you! Fat jokes!

On DU we've mostly gotten beyond that kind of bias since it's just cruel and prejudiced talk.

[Tutankhamun]

28. Not really true. The problem is that Megan McCain hasn't been sanctioned.

She hasn't been designated as a fair target for calling "fat" and ridiculing as such. It is perfectly acceptable to make fun of some people's fatness, while it isn't acceptable to ridicule others.

If I would have made fun of Rush Limbaugh for his weight, there would be no uproar. In fact, it might help get me into the senate. Remember Franken's book, Rush Limbaugh is a big Fat Idiot?

Perhaps you should send Franken's office some sarcasic emails.

[lunatica]

35. You're pretty presumptuous to assume I don't criticize others

for making fat jokes aimed at women. And yes, I don't care if you or anybody calls Rush fat, because nothing anyone says about him could reach the depths of depravity that he says about others. I would never defend Rush because he's indefensible, but if you want to that's your business.

[Tutankhamun]

38. I just pointed out the double standard you couldn't see

from atop your high horse.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

44. she has never been as cruel to others as limbaugh has. that is hardly a HUGE double standard.

its just a standard.

when you disagree with people, resorting to mocking their appearance is just petty

when you disagree withe people, who are cruel to other and to the appearance of others, it seems far more like fair game

[La Lioness Priyanka]

43. everytime people post these things i want to see their pic. i have found that people who are pleased

with their own appearance are never this petty.

[Boomerang Diddle]

18. She's showing her true Republican colors. n/t

[Dappleganger]

19. She is her daddy's little girl

the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Just had a chat with my father last night on the phone and he reminded me about his time as a plane mechanic on McCain's MULTIPLE planes back in the Navy. He said that McCain walked around with a chip on his shoulder, a sense of entitlement (hmmm, does that sound familiar), constantly started fights ending up with the OTHER guy being court-marshalled and McCain getting off scott-free. Some people may appreciate her outspoken nature, but she really is just like her father in many respects (a narcissistic little brat who expects to continue to ride on daddy's coattails).

[Jennicut]

20. A typical ultra rich kid....a total brat

[Old Hank]

24. I'm not crazy about Megan, but these are anonymous sources

She may have made those comments, but let's remember that anonymous sources are unreliable and may have exaggerated her comments so as to make them as outrageous as possible. Newspapers are starved for news these days, as they dangerously lose revenue to online news.

[Norrin Radd]

32. Some of those comments are on her Twitter feed.

[Drunken Irishman]

25. God I wish at one point in my life I could mutter, "Do you even know who the fuck I am?"

Totally jealous.

[symbolman]

33. It was an honest question by her..

She was so drunk and high on mommy pills that she seriously needed to be told who she was.. Asked the guard if this was the Right McDonalds.. :)

If ever there was a proper time for a Security guy to employ a chokehold the apologize for the mistake, this was it..

All I wonder when I see her is Which of the 13 houses She Lives in, especially since ours was foreclosed.

New Helicopter? Buy the guy a New Daughter!

[Hippo_Tron]

50. Same, except I would follow with "I'm the juggernaut, bitch!"

And see how many people laugh and how many don't...

[Phx_Dem]

26. Brat is the perfect word for this primadonna.

And since we're talking about Meghan at the WHCD, I have to say her dress was super fug.

[Clio the Leo]

27. Valerie and Desiree got stopped ...... get over it kid.

[vaberella]

29. Why do we care about this twit?! n/t

[dkf]

30. If she can't recognize that was a cutdown of her father, she simply has no clue.

[PBS Poll-435]

31. I am loving this girl more and more every day

She is like a stereotype of a stereotype.

And the best part?... You never know what she will say next!

[depakid]

34. On that we surely agree

My favorite part thus far was when she ran afoul of the aging bottle blond harpies.

Then again, so many episodes, makes it difficult to choose.

"I fell in love with the Republican party" -at around the same time she noted: "I'm having trouble dating."

[Overseas]

39. But the poor sensitive darling was so upset by Wanda's joke on the helicopters

When Wanda said something like

John McCain was complaining about the presidential helicopters you didn't order. That's because he's jealous. He wanted to ride in those helicopters. But you know, if he would only ask really nicely, his wife would buy him one !

[Butch350]

41. "Like father like..."

[LynneSin]

42. She wants to be another Paris Hilton. We don't even want the Paris Hilton we have

I've noticed she's been hanging out with a bunch of quazi celebrities (ie - who knows why they are famous but somehow they are). They showed her hanging out with Tila Tequila as BFF.

I wish she would just GO AWAY!

[TwilightGardener]

46. Does she have a job, of sorts? Seems like she's just famous now for being

famous, post-McCrazy's-election-defeat.

[Ilsa]

47. Did Meghan call Wanda a "c_ _ t"? Then you'd know Meghan was a real McCain. nt

[rove karl rove]

49. so what

the little republican princess didn't like the dinner. boo frickin' hoo. sick of her.
