McCain Volunteers Wife for Topless Contest

John McCain drummed up support at the annual biker rally in Sturgis, South Dakota yesterday, telling the crowd he preferred the sound of Harley Davidson motorcycle engines to cheering Germans "any day." Hooray for outlaw bikers! John McCain salutes your Easy Rider spirit! So much so, in fact, that he hinted that his wife Cindy might like to get those engines revving a little louder. Via CNN:

Indeed, McCain felt so comfortable at the event that he even volunteered his wife for the rally's traditional beauty pageant, an infamously debauched event that's been known to feature topless women.

"I encouraged Cindy to compete," McCain said to cheers. "I told her with a little luck she could be the only woman ever to serve as first lady and Miss Buffalo Chip."

Yes, nothing like a little first lady T&A to help heal the country (the bottoms have been known to come off at the Miss Buffalo Chip contest, too). Nothing quite says "American Pride" like showing off your wife at a biker rally.

More Sturgis fun pictures here. And here's the video of McCain delivering his scripted shtick on having the bikers oggle our would-be first lady.



Lastly, here's what Cindy can look forward to, if she decides to enter the contest.
