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.”

President Barack Obama poked fun at his own administration and took a few jabs at his critics in the media and the Republican party while comedienne Wanda Sykes has caused controversy with her biting remarks about conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh during the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel in DC on Saturday.

The annual black-tie affair raises money to provide college scholarships for journalism majors.

“Where’s Michael Steele? There he is, in the heezy. Whassup?” Obama yelled, mocking the GOP leader’s frequent attempts at using urban slang to attract younger members. “Michael for the last time, the Republican party does not qualify for a bailout. Rush Limbaugh does not count as a troubled asset, I’m sorry.”
