This isn't a political post...

But is anyone else uncomfortable with John and Cindy McCain as a couple? I mean seriously, doesn't she look like 30 years younger than him? Actually, for all I know she might be 30 years younger than him. Either way, the whole thing creeps me out.

Of course, this didn't help:


In case you missed it, here's what he said:

“I was looking at the Sturgis schedule and noticed that you have a beauty pageant and so I encouraged Cindy to compete,” McCain said to cheers from the (mostly male) crowd. “With a little luck, she could be on the only woman ever to serve as both the first lady and Miss Buffalo Chip.”

Which wouldn't be so bad except that, according to ESPN:

Miss Buffalo Chip pageant is essentially a topless beauty pageant. And occasionally bottomless, too.

Another source (albeit from the web) characterized the contest this way:

Miss Buffalo Chip isn't a beauty contest in the traditional sense — it's a relatively debauched topless (and sometimes bottomless) multi-day contest where women dance, jiggle and reportedly even perform blow jobs on bananas for the titillation of the spectators.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure the senator didn't know all the in's and out's of the contest (so to speak), and probably thought he was paying his wife a compliment. Instead of offering her up to the equivalent of a "Girls Gone Wild" video.

Either way, the whole thing creeps me out.
