See the Miss Buffalo Chip Contest -- the one John McCain wants Cindy to enter

On Tuesday, we posted the video of John McCain in Sturgis, South Dakota. He thought Cindy should compete in the Miss Buffalo Chip beauty pageant.

Now, imagine what the Republicans would do if any Democrat said their wife should participate in a topless and sometimes bottomless beauty pageant. Imagine the field day the traditional media would have. We'd never hear the end of it from the talking heads at CNN, MSNBC and Fox. The GOPers would be sending out Buffalo Chip tiaras and sashes. But, John McCain said offered to pimp his wife in a topless, sometimes bottomless, beauty pageant. So, under the rules of this campaign, no one can do anything or make hay with it.

We could just refer to Cindy McCain as "Miss Buffalo Chip." That's better than calling her a former drug addict who stole drugs from a charity. We can't mention that either.
