Meghan McCain Complains About Mom Jokes
Monday May 11, 2009

Meghan McCain arrives at the 2009 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at Washington Hilton on May 9, 2009 in Washington, DC.

Meghan McCain was annoyed Wanda Sykes mocked her mom, Cindy, at an afterparty for the White House Correspondents Dinner in D.C. this weekend.

"Sen. McCain gave you grief about the new helicopters you didn't order," Sykes joked during a roast at the Capitol File fete. "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."

Snapped McCain, a blogger for The Daily Beast, to the New York Daily News: "I didn't like the joke about my mom [Cindy]. 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."

McCain was spotted shaking her head vigorously after Sykes said: "Sarah Palin's not here. She pulled out at the last minute. Someone oughta tell her that's not how you practice abstinence."

(Her 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, is mother to five-month-old Tripp.)

The 24-year-old was also shocked about a joke Sykes directed toward President Barack Obama. "Omfg, wanda sykes just made a joke about obama's nipples...." she wrote on Twitter after the comic quipped about seeing photos of the president in his swim trunks.

Having a little more fun at the annual bash: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who spent about four minutes speaking with the president at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Obama was overheard saying, "You guys ought to come by the White House," a witness tells Usmagazine.com.

"Tom Cruise was grinning from ear to ear" after the conversation, the witness adds. "He said, 'This is a blast.'"
