I have to take a break from my stories from the road to offer my observation on AZ Sen. John McCain and his popping in to the Buffalo Chip during the Sturgis Rally... I found this a bit amusing - John, just a little advice when your talking to us - don't offer your wife up for Miss Buffalo Chip... John,.... you did what?! You're kidding,.......right? Did she slap you when you got off the stage? What were you thinking? Better yet what were your handlers thinking. What dim-witt, that had spent too much time on the "Straight Talk Express" sipping exhaust fumes, came up with the idea to 1) take you to Sturgis and 2) let you talk from the cuff at the Buffalo Chip. John, offering Cindy up to the crowd doesn't make you cool, hip, young or any more popular. In fact, just the opposite.
What made him decide to pander to the biker world and go to Sturgis for the rally. Nice. We didn't see him last year or the year before - didn't see him in the "Last ride of the Century" or the "First ride of the New Millenium". I didn't see him in the first annual "We'll Never Forget - 9/11" Rally in Arizona, I don't see him on the streets riding his scooter anywhere... John, do you own a motorcycle?.. John, my homeboy Presidential Candidate, what's up? Is Obama got you so bad that you needed to call in the bikers for security? Are you assuming that the world of bikers is primarily republican and you can get some cheap votes? John, John, John, this crowd is not filled with cheap votes and honestly, we don't like to be pandered to. Yes, we all appreciate what you've done for our country, and yes, John, we all appreciate and applaud your courage, determination and dignity while serving, and as a POW, in Nam. But John, this just looks like a cheap ass publicity stunt and fodder for the late night talk shows.
