McCain at the Chip - bikers and strippers and hogs, oh my

Category: Misc

By Denise Ross

You already know it was quite the scene at the Buffalo Chip east of Sturgis Monday night. If you haven’t had enough, here’s a roundup of coverage.

My favorite report so far was filed by Charles Michael Ray of South Dakota Public Radio. A biker used a pizza box to encourage women to reveal their, um, bossoms to show support for GOP presidential candidate John McCain and to reveal another anatomical feature to show support for Dem Barack Obama.

Listen here. You can also hear McCain encouraging his wife to enter the Miss Buffalo Chip contest, which begs the question of whether Sen. McCain fully grasped what that contest entails.

… essentially a topless beauty pageant. And occasionally bottomless, too.

My pal Kevin Woster at the RC Journal noted that McCain’s appearance lasted all of 7 minutes.

Here’s some video from the RCJ, in which Gov. Mike Rounds talks about worshiping and veterans:

There’s more video at KEVN TV, not so much from the other TV stations.

I haven’t read all of the national stories, but there are plenty of them. Find them here.

I’ll have more today, including some insights from McCain and Sen. John Thune on the Straight Talk Express.

    Hogs? You left out male chauvinist pigs, including the one making tasteless cracks about his wife.
