John McCain Won't Let Cindy Go on 'Dancing With the Stars'?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWhile John McCain gleefully suggested entering his wife in the Miss Buffalo Chips competition at bike week in Sturgis, South Dakota (to the approving hoots of the crowd), apparently he is not as keen on the idea of seeing Cindy become a contestant on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." From the never-told-a-lie NY Post:Our impeccably placed source says, "Just before Thanksgiving, Cindy McCain started talks with producers to apper as a dancer on the show. She wanted to do it very badly." But this week, Sen. McCain "put the kibosh on it." Reps for the show and McCain didn't return the calls.Well, ...
Meghan McCain Won't Comment on Sarah Palin
By David Knowles - Politics DailyMonday Morning Clacker has an interview with would-have-been first daughter Meghan McCain, the young woman who, like the Romney 5 before her, merged personal revelations with campaign messaging in a way not previously seen in America.

More McCain at Sturgis, Dag-Nabbit!
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyOh, yeah, we're going to get some mileage out of this.John McCain was in attendance at the 68th Annual Sturgis Rally, and as David Knowles reported earlier, tantalized the crowd with his wife, Cindy. Here's a longer version of that clip, along with the rules for a "McCain Sturgis Drinking Game." At the 3:15 mark, you have to drink a shot every time you imagine, in your head, McCain growling, "Dag-Nabbit!" or "Dad-Gummit!" or variations thereof. More importantly, at the 3:47 mark, you have to shout apoplectically, "And I'm gonna make them clean their g--dam room!" then chug a beer.Finally, ...
