Arianna huffs about overbooked celebs at WHCD

Like a Real Housewife of New Jersey, Arianna Huffington was flipping tables, well, at least metaphorically.

Because like most media organizations that placed a bid for White House Correspondents dinner tables, the Huffington Post founder didn’t get her way.

“She was not happy,” an insider told Yeas & Nays.

Being a new member to the White House Correspondents Association, this is the first year the Internet news site will have presence at the dinner.

Huffington asked for three tables, and on the assumption that her wish would be granted, invited 14 celebrity guests in advance, but only got one table.

“Many organizations ignored our blanket warning to all — to not invite guests until they know their seating capacity,” Edwin Chen, president of the White House Correspondents Association told Yeas & Nays. “Now some must disinvite people. This is a regrettable situation, but it’s not one of our making.”

Although HuffPo didn’t heed the warnings, the association was forgiving and provided them with additional seats.
