Pour Some Sugar On Cindy (McCain)

As you know, John McCain is just horrified by those "celebrity" women, you know the ones who are often scantily clad and just happen to show up in his ads with Senator Obama.

So it struck me as a bit strange that John McCain would now want his wife to become one of them. Unless, of course, he is a callow hypocrite and nothing his campaign does is actually based on any kind of principles.

But I would never insinuate such a thing about John McCain:

See what I mean?

What if she had called his bluff, entered the contest and staged a smoldering performance?

In PUMA universe, this is the guy that's worthy of the presidency, while Barack Obama and his repeated and over the top lauding of Hillary Clinton and her landmark campaign for the presidency is the sexist.

Can the MSS report on this? I haven't heard a peep.

So now McCain uses a music stand to house his script?? Is that his own stand that he travels with? I like to play the game of counting his words between downward glances... Man that is pathetic. Someone show him the back porch and get him an iced tea.

McCain thinks he's such a funny guy. Like to see how he jokes his way out of this stupid stunt. Can't imagine Cindy thinks he's so funny -- at least not now. Maybe she'll let him stump it alone for a while.

As I heard last night, McCain's handlers have always been jealous of the huge crowds that O b ama draws. So, they have apparently decided that their best strategy is to find venues that are going to draw big crowds and then see if the can get their candidate up on the stage. Kind of like an opening act.

Makes me laugh.

Any woman who would vote for McCain is very very foolish.

PUT A FORK IN MCCAIN cause he's done, at least among Conservative family values voters in his own party who may likely abstain and among right minded independents. I do not know if McCain's candidacy has literally "jumped the shark" or if our country has gone so far to hell in a hand basket that McCain is literally going to "ride the shark" through election day. Seems McCain is just chase down and hog tie those voters that Hillary nailed down in Appalachia. Ironic that two biggest Elitists, McCain & Hillary, seem to be so adept at manipulating the left side of the bell curve in their favor.

Don't kid yourself, the conservative family values group, part of McC's base are just as brainwashed as the rest of the the repubs. They will still vote for him

Well, he has called her a c_nt. The men and women shown at this event couldn't be more low class acting. But rethugs seem to gain some kind of sick pride from being backward.

Any former Clinton supporters want to get in on this bikini contest, in the name of women's rights and all? Are you still determined not to vote for Obama? Break those thongs out!

But to McCain there's no inconsistency. He sees the scantily clad celebrity women as brainless boobs, and he: (1) compared them mockingly to his political rival; and (2) invited his wife to join them. Where's the inconsistency? If you consider that he doesn't think much of women in general or his wife in particular, there's no inconsistency at all!

Well I can see why the PUMAs are endorsing him.

If Obama had gone to an event like this and offered his wife (even as a joke as I thought or hope that this was) MSM would have been all over it. we would not have seen or heard the last of it. Even in jest it was tacky and quite disrepectful to his wife. But I guess their must be some american voters who think this is the way they want the POTUS to carry himself.

I doubt if there was a true conservative among that crowd and it shows what view Mccain has of women and how they should be treated in the mind of a dirty old man! Mccain must be threatened by Obama having a vocabulary and enough class to treat his wife and other women with real respect. When you consider Mccain went shopping for a new "model" when he came home from POW camp and found his first wife not up to his standards. He went as far as to romance and "etc" Cindy and got the new marriage license before the first one found out. Yeah Mac is no class and he has gone further out of his way to parade the wife at a "event" most conservatives would never be seen at...a biker rally!

Wrong. That crows will generaly vote Repug.. irrespective that the core of the party is the religuous right whioch would ban such shows and their beer. The vote repug in part because of the southern strategy, a hand on every gun, and in part for that "We are the greatest nation in the world and if you dont think so we can blow up your country". They dont blame them for their jobs being shipped overseas, the price of gas, the devalution of their house, their falling wages... because DEMs dont tell them that truth over and over again and they get the "Repug" version fo the truth..

What's really strange to me is how pleased Cindy looks, like he's giving her a great big compliment, instead of reinforcing that he holds her in no higher opinion than he holds women in general and misguided young women stripping for the crowd.

Pleased? It looked to me as though she was gritting her teeth so hard it's a surprise they didn't crack.

Cindy McCain has chosen to be a victim of her husband's disrepect and abuse. She certainly has the resources to move on. It's obvious she cosigns his demeaning behavior.

Why does this woman allow herself to be humiliated like that?

This is what first lady has become?
John McCain - you should be ASHAMED of yourself....you have taken the history of Jackie Kennedy, Eleanor Roosevelt, and all of those great women and just thrown it down the toilet.
I checked on the MSM sites and CNN BARELY had a blurb on this.

Sickening, absolutely disgusting
