If Hunter Thompson were getting started today, he could kill two birds with one stone!

Feministing, why you gotta be so classist?

The campaign event that got the girls in such a huff was the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally:

One woman wore little but a deep tan. Tattoos reigned, as did black leather. The emcee praised America for its "beautiful roads, beautiful bikes and ice-cold beer."

Motorcycle engines revved in deafening approval when a rock guitarist played the national anthem at earsplitting volume and with a soaring solo, a la Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock. Kid Rock was to perform later in the evening, and Kiss was due at another nearby stage.

Suffice it to say that few political rallies can match John McCain's brief appearance on an outdoor stage Monday night before several thousand bikers at the 68th annual Sturgis Rally, America's largest biker convention and arguably its most colorful national gathering.

As dozens of engines revved again, he grinned. "I recognize that sound. It's the sound of freedom."

You better believe it is.

A final message to the gals at Feministing: I don't know if any of the women at Sturgis were feminists, but I'm pretty confident they could clobber you. When a girl is actually fighting the patriarchy, which of these two do you think she'll find more useful?
