McCain's favorite Song from His Puerto Rican rapper endorser: is about Sperm
Republican Presidential nominee-presumptive John McCain praised Puerto Rican Rapper Daddy Yankee's song "Gasolina," which is a sex opus about a woman who loves his semen, after a campaign stop at an Arizona high school. McCain was visiting Central High School in Phoenix, the alma mater of his wife, the former Cindy Hensley (Class of 1972), the centimillionaire beer heiress for whom McCain dumped his first wife, who was crippled in a car wreck.

The Central High student body is over two-thirds Hispanic.

John McCain praised the school due to its diversity, saying that it served as an example for the rest of America. In fact, Phoenix's Central High School has failed to make the federal standards mandated by President George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind Act. Again, McCain proves himself clueless, as he did with the entire Daddy Yankee episode.

Daddy Yankee's music is characterized as "reggaeton," which is a synthesis of reggae and hip hop. His biggest hit is "Gasolina," which McCain aide Brooke Buchanan told the press was John McCain's favorite Daddy Yankee song. The McCain campaign tried to link the song with McCain's policy of "energy independence," which calls for offshore drilling.

"Gasolina" is a Puerto Rican slang term for semen or jism or the rapper term "skeet." (This is how the word is defined on the Urban Dictionary.)

6. Obama's campaign said Daddy Yankee approached them first but they said no
they were not interested .. in his opportunism.

That said he is the best known reggaeton star other than Don Omar and that counts in Florida with the youth vote.

10. Do they research anything???
Asked about the meaning of his song "Gasolina," Daddy Yankee quipped, "Energy independence."

I'd bet the campaign heard or read that response and stopped there.
