Okay, read the McCain link – it was stupid, but it sounded like he’s trying to backpedal on the “John McCain is mean his wife” gaffes, and didn’t realize quite what the nature of the contest was.
Personally, I’m inclined to go with the “oblivious, confused old man” theory over the “septugenarian pimp” theory.
Man, I live in Madison, and all I can say is that if Favre goes to the freakin’ Vikings? This place will erupt.
I bet that Toby Keith song becomes a number one hit and earns him a lot of money. The man completely disgusts me, but I think that incidents like this prove that we are not living in the post racial world the media keeps speaking about.

Me too, but it’s still hilarious. And even if McCain just thought it was a standard-issue beauty pageant, it does say something that his support for his wife is all about her being pretty.
