It could be right around the corner, if John McCain has his way.
The Arizona Senator and GOP presidential hopeful volunteered his wife to participate in a beauty pageant … which make sense, as she is a former beauty queen. Only this one includes topless and occasionally bottomless women.
“I was looking at the schedule, and noticed that you had a beauty pageant, so I encouraged Cindy to compete,” McCain said at a rally in Sturgis, S.D.
“I told her [that] with a little luck, she could become the only woman to serve as both the First Lady and Miss Buffalo Chip.”
Lame ESPN.com columnist Jim Caple wrote that one scene at the pageant resulted in a woman “dancing naked on a bar top.”
It is unclear if John McCain knew the specifics of the town’s pageant while making the remark, but that’s at least somewhat doubtful, as he doesn’t know the specifics of economic or foreign policy either.
Regardless, the audience burst into cheers at the thought of a topless Cindy McCain. That would truly be a watershed moment in political history.
