John McCain Likes Him Some Biker Chicks

There was plenty of fun in Sturgis, SD yesterday at an annual biker get-together, and also a speech by John McCain. The motorcycle enthusiasts loved him, but nobody seems to have noticed that McCain suggested his wife join in a topless beauty pageant.

Commentary By: Steven Reynolds

This is just odd. McCain talked to bikers in Sturgis yesterday, and he had this to say after his wife spoke up proudly about her sons. From MSNBC.com:

Taking back the microphone, McCain joked that he wanted her to enter the beauty contest held at the site, the Buffalo Chip campground on the edge of town.

“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,” McCain quipped.

OK, it is true that Cindy McCain was once a beauty pageant queen, but this is a bit odd, given that the Miss Buffalo Chip contest, held every night during Bike Week at the Buffalo Chip campground in Sturgis, is a topless beauty contest, and sometimes bottomless, at least according to Jim Caple of ESPN:

Buffalo Chip has a reputation for that sort of thing. It holds a Miss Buffalo Chip contest every night, which is 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.”

OK, I’m not the only one to notice this, though Sam Stein of HuffPo didn’t report the bit about McCain suggesting his wife compete topless.
