<nettime> McCain, Daddy Yankee and what is 'Gasolina??'

["jd in .hu" <budapestfoto {AT} gmail.com>]

Check out this DailyKos post, quite funny and really shows the incredible
cultural obliviousness of the McCain Campaign....


...a Latin music superstar named "Daddy Yankee" appeared with John McCain at
a mostly Latino high school in Phoenix. As Kos diarist LeftofArizona pointed
out, that McCain appearance was a violation of Arizona state law.

But the story doesn't end there. Before a crowd of giggling, excited Latina
teenagers, McCain plugged Daddy's big reggaeton club hit, "Gasolina." *What
McCain may not have known at the time was that "Gasolina" is a song about
"fucking."*

Last night the Wall Street Journal posted an article quoting McCain aide
Brooke Buchanan saying that "Gasolina" was McCain's "favorite."

When asked what that song was about, the rapper smiled: "Energy
independence."
