Yesterday evening John McCain took part in the Sturgis Rally 2008 at Buffalo Chip in South Dakota, an annual tribute to veterans. The candidate was so enthused, he told attendees, that he encouraged his wife toparticipate in the festivities: "I told her with a little luck, she could be the only woman ever to serve as both the first lady and Miss Buffalo Chip."
As the Huffington Post reported on Sunday, the Miss Buffalo Chip contest is more than a little risque -- not to mention bedeviled by violence:
ESPN's Jim Caple described the as "essentially a topless beauty pageant. And occasionally bottomless, too."
"During a drenching rain Wednesday night, the contest broke up into smaller groups and one woman wound up dancing naked on a bar top. Her boyfriend/husband saw her and angrily dragged her away as she struggled to put her pants back on and muttered something about how, "It's only this one week a year."
How sweet. Sadly, the pageant also sees its share of domestic abuse, which even the event's organizers admit to Caple is a major problem.
No thanks, John, we really don't want to see your wife's boobs...
Of course, we already see one every day!
I'm sure McCain wasn't aware of what goes on at these things, but you know, shouldn't he have been? (I guess to some people it doesn't matter -- why sweat over the little things? Suuni verses Shiite, the borders of Iraq, economics -- it's not like the President needs to be smart or knowledgable or anything....)

The double standard is breathtaking. What if Obama said the same thing?

Yeah, the blogs would be covered with this story by now if Obama had said something like that. McCain's complaint that the press gives Obama a free pass is ridiculous given his mistakes on the campaign trail.

Complaining is their strategy. By complaining, their complaints enter the national psyche. If they accused Obama of being a Nazi sympathizer enough times, the media will repeat the charge and they'll get a tenth of the population believing that. There is no premium on truth.

I am becoming increasingly frightened by the very thought of John McCain running this country.

Here's a poster from the event. McCain is on there...see? In small type, he ranks below Kid Rock and Kellie Pickler, whoever that is.
