Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling is very open about his political leanings, as he is with everything in his life. Schill is shilling for John McCain and had an interesting encounter with McCain’s wife Cindy at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Shonda Schilling tells the story:

From the Boston Herald:

“We all got separated in this huge room with lots of people,” Mrs. S told the Track. “I walked ahead with (racing legend) Richard Petty while Curt stopped to sign autographs.

“So when he started to walk away, he grabbed Cindy’s hand. She didn’t seem to mind and went along with it,” said Shonda. “But when he realized what he was doing, he held up their hands and said, ‘Hey, Shonda, look at this!’ Suddenly, Richard grabbed my hand and I said, ‘Don’t worry, I’m being taken care of.’ ”

Cindy McCain didn’t seem to mind huh? Maybe she’s like the mom in The Wedding Crashers, or maybe she was happy to be holding anything but her husband’s hand.
