An Impeccable Example of Refinement, Like Fred Astaire!

I recently posted about McCain pimping his wife Cindy for the Buffalo Chip Beauty pageant in Sturgis, South Dakota. I was critical of McCain. As it turns out, I was a little sarcastic and said "Classy" in a very facetious way. After all, if she had participated, she would have gone topless like the other entrants. Call me old fashioned, but McCain's behavior doesn't seem very presidential to me.

But, isn't that cute and folksy of McCain? Wasn't he just workin' the crowd in a fun, man-of-the-people kind of way? Haven't your husbands ever suggested that you flash a crowd or do a lap dance perhaps at a bar, or shake your money maker for a huge bunch of bikers? No? Yeah--me neither. Well, maybe our husbands don't respect us the way McCain respects Cindy...no, wait. That doesn't make sense does it? Husbands don't offer up their wives to enter a topless beauty contest do they? They don't call them c***s either, or trollops do they? What do the etiquette books say about that? Hmm.

I don't know, perhaps I judge McCain too harshly.

A person, a certain "Anonymous", brought me up short by posting this gem, this truly insightful comment:

And what was classy about Bill having Monica suck on his dick? Oh, I forgot, "That's his personal life."

I didn't realize that visitors to this blog could be quite so refined! Actually, Anonymous, with your pithy Cole Porter like comment I suddenly can't stop thinking of Fred Astaire.

This is you!

And I envision you speaking with a heavy French accent--am I right? C'est bien!! I'm sure you're very worldly and sophisticated, what with such precise, focused political criticism and nuanced communication. I bet it's hard to keep up with you!

A topless beauty pageant is one thing but I think it's upwards and onwards for the straight talk express and the next thing will be that McCain will suggest Cindy shake her money maker like this. This one's for you Anonymous!

Enjoy!
