ABC News' Gregory Wallace and Sara Just Report: Sen. John McCain, R-Az., perhaps unknowingly, volunteered his wife for a beauty pageant on Monday that often features contestants topless -- and, occasionally, without any decency -- at the Sturgis, South Dakota, motorcycle rally.

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL!

[ConservativeMan55]

Haha it appears there’s video of this on the site.

[OKSooner]

This thread is useless so far...

[The_Republican]

How do we know its a “gaffe”? Can’t a man just have some fun?

[Red Steel]

McCain has the Sturgis vote all locked up.

[ConservativeMan55]

Haha you’re not allowed to have fun if you have an R next to your name.

[colorado tanker]

More drive-by B.S. McCain was making a joke, maybe a bigger joke than he realized, but a joke nevertheless.

[ConservativeMan55]

He will if his wife signs up for the contest. :)

[Williams]

When she appears in the beauty contest, get back to me. This is a stupid non “gaffe”.

[y6162]

“perhaps unknowingly, volunteered his wife for a beauty pageant on Monday that often features contestants topless “

ok..brain test..would you vote for a large buxom gal who shows her boobs to anyone or a billionaire heiress who would show them just to you?

[ninonitti]

Is there nothing Juan wouldn't do to get elected?

Uh.....that's rhetorical

[Fox_Mulder77]

BWAHAHAHA!!! Now the media can claim McCain is “pimping” his wife, the way they accused the Clintons of “pimping” Chelsea.

[ConservativeMan55]

hahahahaha

[whatshotandwhatsnot]

Meh. I’m giving him a break here. He may have known the contest involved nudity or he may not. It isn’t like she joined in and it isn’t as if he actually expected her to. Sounded more like a badly delivered joke.

[Nathan Zachary]

Obviously McCain isn’t aware of what goes on at the annual Sturgis bike rally. At least he didn’t enter her in the “bury the cuke” contest, or other female “endurance” contests that go on there.

ABC News' Gregory Wallace and Sara Just report

It takes two reporters to do this "story"? Guess that explains all the media layoffs.

[Old Sarge]

More comments on this previous thread:

It appears that the "topless" angle started over at Huffington Post, and the Drive-by Media is running with it.

That thread also has some trolls appearing...

[Dixie Yooper]

I have never wanted to go to Sturgis, until now.

[ConservativeMan55]

Whatever McCain is doing.. even if it's knocking over cheese in a store.. it's working!

McCain knocks over cheese in store.

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

he may lose one vote, but gain two.

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL

[nuconvert]

This is a news story?

[Enosh]

“... test..would you vote for a large buxom gal who shows her boobs...”

Well, yeah!

Wait, what are we voting on?

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Thats awesome. Go McCain.

[ConservativeMan55]

Everything the Presidential candidates do is a news story.

If they eat oatmeal for breakfast it’s a story.

[ConservativeMan55]

This may not be a gaffe after all...

[cmsgop]

I'm pretty sure John knew about that,whats ABC all in a Fuss about ????

Oh Wait,.....

[NavyCanDo]

Here is that scene. Judge for yourself. Did McCain step in a Buffalo Chip? Or should this be taken as the joke it was intended to be? Cindy was laughing, and the crowed certainly loved it.
Regardless, Cindy was looking mighty fine, and if she had a problem with the comment, let her take it up with him herself.

They are going nuts with this over on the DU. I hope we here on the FR have a better sense of humor.

[Oldexpat]

Republican’s still have a sense of humor..
Obama wouldn’t lower himself to speak to this crowd and he won’t appear at the next military town hall with McCain.
He is a stuffed pompous suit.
McCain isn’t afraid to talk with all citizens.

[eastforker]

Maybe John can get Fred as his running mate and we can get both wives up for the contest. Hell, we’ll let DennisK’s wife tag along also.

[Don Corleone]

His comment that he’d rather hear the sound of 5000 Harleys than the sound of 200000 Germans was met with much deserved cheering!

[Tarpon]

What’s wrong about this? Has everyone lost their sense of humor. I know if I volunteered my wife, she would ...

[Nathan Zachary]

"They are going nuts with this over on the DU. I hope we here on the FR have a better sense of humor."

Since when did those at DU become anyone to preach morality to anyone? Most of them are poop-chute bandits. Oh wait I get it, topless beautiful women offend them. (more likely they fear them)

[mojo114]

MSM had to find something that would overshadow the wonderful reception McCain received by the biker crowd.

[evets]

Pop a top!

[RED SOUTH]

Good , more the reason to vote for McCain and I hope she wins!!!!

[Nathan Zachary]

"MSM had to find something that would overshadow the wonderful reception McCain received by the biker crowd."

They are just jealous that they only crowds that Obama gets warm applause from are large crowds of queers in SF, black males on the down low, lesbians, and Muslims who hate America and the very thing these bikers symbolize- America, land of the free, home of the brave.

[Ramius]

Everybody’s missing the big question:

Well? Did she go to the Buffalo Chip Contest? Or not?

:-)

[chalkfarmer]

Somebody please please please post the new video from Paris Hilton on TMZ website. It’s very well done and funny.

[indylindy]

I would much rather see McCain’s boobs.

[imahawk]

LOL,Thats pretty good.Got a real big rise from the crowd.

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL i went and watched it!

Funny stuff.

[pineybill]

Slick Willie must be trying to find a quick ride to Sturgis, SD about now!

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL

[Free Vulcan]

At Sturgis I don’t think this is a gaffe.

[Hoosier Catholic Momma]

We should be thankful it wasn’t Obama volunteering his wife for the topless contest.

I’m sorry if I ruined anyone’s appetite with that remark :P

[Zathras]

Now THATS pandering.
LOL!

[chaos_5]

ROFL!!

Pics! we need pics!!

[Leofl]

Aw come on guys, It was a joke and even Cindy laughed.
