Cyberspace is still atwitter over this pic of Meghan McCain’s cleavage.

The daughter of former GOP presidential candidate John McCain set off a media firestorm late Wednesday after she Twitpic’d an image of herself busting out of a tank top. After getting wind of the backlash, Meghan wrote on her Twitter, “I took a fun picture not thinking anything about what I was wearing, but apparently anything other than a pantsuit I am a slut.” She later added, “When I am alone in my apartment, I wear tank tops and sweat pants, I had no idea this makes me a ‘slut’, I can’t even tell you how hurt I am.”

I thought was funny and silly—and within a few hours I had caused a minor media scandal. I spent most of the next day thinking about what exactly was so shocking about the picture, why there was such an immediate and nasty overreaction.

Conservative blogger Meghan McCain, the daughter of former Republican presidential nominee John McCain, says she offended by a joke told by Wanda Sykes during the comedian’s controversial set at the White House Correspondents Dinner at the Washington Hilton on Saturday.

“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,” Sykes quipped alluding to the family wealth of heiress Cindy McCain.

“I didn’t like the joke about my mom,” Meghan McCain told NY Daily News Gatecrasher column 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.”
