Satan's Helpers Play Nice

I see John McCain was a big hit at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Good for him. I happened to find myself in the middle of that event last year and spent a good deal of it feeling like I'd stepped into the Satan's Helpers bar from Pee Wee's Big Adventure.


I say we stomp him, then we tattoo him, and then we hang him and then we kill him!

Yeah!

Not that I had a bad time. I didn't. It was the craziest I ever saw a Best Western lobby get. But I wasn't interrupting the festivities. Apparently, Sen. Thune warned McCain this might be a hostile audience, but they seemed to love the Republican nominee--without him even having to do the Tequila dance.

Just don't hire them for inaugural security, Johnny Mac.
