Roast Pig Anyone? John McCain Pimps Out Wife Cindy
I know if I had done this to Mrs./Dr. Epp, my lovely wife of 27 years, I’d be in the doghouse until 2015 or so.While at the Buffalo Chip Campground near Sturgis for the Sturgis Bike Rally yesterday, putative GOP nominee John McCain essentially pimped out his wife Cindy to the rowdy throng.
Well, MSNBC’s “First Read” actually puts it best:
There is another stage that is also part of the festival, where KISS performed and where they were holding preliminaries for the Ms. Buffalo Chip beauty pageant — an often-nude affair.That information is relevant, (NBC/NJ’s Adam) Aigner-Treworgy adds, as McCain joked during his remarks that he had encouraged Cindy to participate, so she had a chance at being the only lady to serve as both first lady and Ms. Buffalo Chip.
And as CBS News reported:
“I was looking at the Sturgis schedule and noticed that you have a beauty pageant and so I encouraged Cindy to compete,” McCain said to cheers from the (mostly male) crowd. “With a little luck, she could be on the only woman ever to serve as both the first lady and Miss Buffalo Chip.”
I can see wanting to seem like you’re one of the Peeps. But to offer your own wife to enter an often salacious and nude beauty contest? That’s pretty pig-like, fellow babies, even to this less than enlightened male. It is particularly undignified for a Presidential candidate.
Can you imagine the uproar if Sen. Barack Obama had done something like this to Michelle?
It’s just ikcy. Roast pig, anyone?

gah. and then there's the assumption that Queen Frostine would have had even a remote chance to win the contest. Sturgis participants are drunk, not blind. egads.
Wha? The guy that dumped his wife (who had gained weight and lost height due to a near fatal car accident) for Cindy? The guy who called Cindy a trollup and the "C" word (note - C didn't mean Cindy)? The guy that can joke about rape? Him????
Yup, what a man of character. Yet, he questions whether Obama has what it takes to sit in the Oval Office?
Obama is running too honorable a campaign for the guy that is soliciting Karl Rove for his hijinks.
Where can I get a pork pig sandwich?
Actually, what the Senator did was make what we earthlings call a "joke." Lighten up. And no, tagging your humor-impaired post with "humor" doesn't mean that you get it.
Nerdie:
I thought the roast pig photo was humorous touch, no?
Epp
Feester, cite credible sources (not Daily Kos, etc.) about the foul language. And thank you, Nerdie. It was a joke. Sounds to me like some guys are jealous 'cause Cindy is so hot. :-) (That said, the roast pig thing was funny. Just like McCain's joke.)
Skippy,
The roast pig photo just makes me hungry for hog.
"... if Sen. Barack Obama had done something like this to Michelle?"
My prediction:the lovey-dovey knuckle-knock comes from Michelle with increased velocity and directed on a lower trajectory.
... end result: Barack becomes a barrow!
Magpie, yeah. Because it is clear who wears the pants in the Obama family, and it ain't Barack.
I figure the people that think Cindy McCain is hot, must need new glasses. She looks like a Barbie doll and there isn't anything pretty about them. Ms. McCain wears way too much makeup and is too bleached blonde. After all pretty is as pretty does. True beauty comes from the inside. I'm also not real sure that McCain was joking, I think it would have been hilarious if she had entered the contest and made complete idiots of both of them.
