‘Wet & Wild’ McCain courts biker vote

Presumptive GOP Presidential nominee John McCain's "do anything for a vote" strategy takes him today to the anything-goes town of Sturgis, South Dakota, where the candidate will court the biker vote amid naked beauty pageants, nude mud wrestling events, public nudity and drunken fights.

McCain will speak at the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, a gathering of 400,000 or more motorcycle riders, hangers on and party girls. McCain's speech is sandwiched in between the "Ringing Wet & Wild" women's mud wrestling event and the Miss Buffalo Chip contest.

Bikers, many of them vets, might seem like a natural audience for former Vietnam Prisoner of War McCain but a candidate who also tries to cater to the self-righteous right-wing of the Republican Party may be courting disaster by mixing politics with naked women, drunken brawls and public debauchery.

It's that kind of political year.

It’s that kind of political year.

Writes Sam Stein in The Huffington Post:

The town of Sturgis, South Dakota will witness, on Monday, the rare fusion of drunken debauchery, public stripteasing, motorcycle rallying, a live performance by Kid Rock, and – last but not least – a veterans-themed speech by presidential candidate John McCain. Seriously.

On Sunday, the McCain campaign announced that the Senator will participate in the Sturgis Rally 2008 at Buffalo Chip in South Dakota, an annual tribute to American veterans. The event is up the Arizona Republican’s wheelhouse, attracting thousands of active duty and former servicemen, many who have a natural affinity towards the Senator.

But it is hard not to notice the evocative, non-political sideshows that will literally surround McCain’s speech. As the presumptive nominee takes the stage, the “Ringin’ Wet & Wild” women’s wrestling event will be taking place on the main amphitheater. Two hours before then, the “Miss Buffalo Chip Beauty Pageant – Bikinis on the Beach” will be staged at a different venue. That affair is described by ESPN’s Jim Caple as “essentially a topless beauty pageant. And occasionally bottomless, too.”

  1. Whoa!!! If you’re going to sport a photo of one of the biker babes couldn’t you find one that had a little less cheese? 🙂

  4. I’ve been to Sturgis once before but I’d give anything to be there with McCain because I guarantee you I’d have five
    batteries in rotation on my high definition television camera and I’d be bringing back the video Johnny boy hopes the rest of the country never sees.

    If someone doesn’t deliver a YouTube moment out of this trip then America really IS asleep at the wheel.
