"Sturgis, Rev Your Engines!"


Meghan McCain, please forgive TPMtv. It simply had no choice but to steal your headline verbatim, as it is impossible to improve upon it in any way.

Many of you may remember John McCain's delightful trip to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota earlier this month, during which he offered up wife Cindy as a participant in the Miss Buffalo Chip Beauty Pageant / "Show Us Your Boobs!" Contest, and even had a few moments that made it into our Dazed and Confused and Bonus Nonsense highlight reels.

But the fun doesn't stop there, people, no sir it doesn't. Daughter, Columbia graduate, and blogger - excuse me, blogette - Meghan McCain has posted a video diary of all the fun and frivolity of the McCain campaign Sturgis experience:



Ok let's see what we got here...

Bikers (:07)... more bikers (:11)... biker flashing devil horns (:14)...



... lots of motorcycles (:19)... John McCain shaking bikers' hands (:21)... John McCain hugging bikers (:24)... American flags, more bikers, some veterans... dude with no shirt on (:35)... Meghan McCain talking on a couch (:37)... lots more bikers, etc. ... Kid Rock 'Live' Trucker semi-trailer (:48)... aaaaaaaaaaand....

BUSTED! (:50)


Pole dancer! Pole dancer!

What, was the simulated 69-ing left on the cutting room floor? For shame, Meghan McCain's video editor, for shame! As a grizzled, frosty vet of the video business, TPMtv knows: ya gotta lead with the A material!

Also 1:44 "cheering in applause"? Meghan McCain, that's redundant! Kind of. I don't know, maybe not.

Also 2:07 Kid Rock, eh? You say you're a "huge fan"? Yeah? Well, are you a huge fan of the Kid Rock song Cadillac Pussy? How about Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp? Hmmmmmm? TPMtv says: Outrageous. Disgusting. Classless. Naive. Dangerous. Outrageous.

[Just for the record, TPMtv was joking. TPMtv doesn't believe McCain should get in trouble for the profane song titles of artists with whom he allows himself to be associated (whether or not he should get in trouble for allowing his daughter to like/admit to liking garbage like Kid Rock (except that one song American Bad Ass, which kind of gets TPMtv's motor going, but only because of the awesome Metallica song it rips off pretty much completely) is another question altogether). But if Obama is going to take heat for Jay-Z and Ludacris lyrics (from which, a certain set of Ludacris lyrics that is, the Obama camp was very swift to distance itself), well, let's just have a little consistency is all.]
