Will Cindy McCain be the geriatric contestant on this season of Dancing with the Stars? Access Hollywood, Page Six and other online sources have confirmed that the 53 year old wife of senator John McCain has been approached by the show.

“Just before Thanksgiving, Cindy McCain started talks with producers to appear as a dancer on the show, a source told Page Six. ”She wanted to do it very badly.” But according to the publication, husband Sen. John McCain “put the kibosh on it.”

Cindy McCain is no stranger to the entertainment world as she has competed in beauty pageants in the past. She landed the title of Junior Rodeo Queen of Arizona in 1968.

Sucks she won’t be able to do it… I would like to see Mrs. McCain shake it for national television!
