Jack McCain! Ask Chelsea Clinton To The Dance

This rocking suggestion came from Jack McCain's buddies on the plebe bulletin board of the Naval Academy, where they put pictures up of the midshipmen and the person who would be his/her most outrageous date. Jack (class of '09) already has a real date for the big May Ring Dance -- he's dating a local college student.

In an exclusive, funny interview with David Ausiello at GoMids.com, the second-oldest child of Cindy and John McCain talks about grades (even though he scored a perfect 800 on his verbal SATs, he's ranked 1002 out of 1100 students), his father, pictured back in the day above ("I don't think he's a person I've ever seen get choked up"), demerits (Jack has only 60 or so, for wearing flip-flops outside and forgetting to shave; his Dad was a record-setting legend at the Academy), and getting used to discipline thanks to training from his older sister Meghan ("she always kept my younger brother Jimmy and me in line; until we got big enough to fight back, she was always in charge.")

Speaking of 19-year-old Jimmy (or "Shorty," as his brother calls him), who's a Marine engaged to a chef named Tess and just returned from his first deployment in Iraq, Jack's a proud big bro. If Jimmy joined him at the Academy, Jack says, "I don't think I could say anything to him. He was the point man for his platoon in Iraq."
