Regular guy, John McCain, can’t remember how many houses he owns.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in an interview Wednesday that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own.
“I think – I’ll have my staff get to you,” McCain told us in Las Cruces, N.M. “It’s condominiums where – I’ll have them get to you.”
The correct answer is at least four, located in Arizona, California and Virginia, according to his staff. Newsweek estimated this summer that the couple owns at least seven properties.
I know the ranting against the Obama-is-an-elitist narrative is a little bit pointless. Whatever the facts on the ground might be, the narrative has been set for a decade or more: Democrats are elitists; Republicans are regular guys. The mainstream media pundits will cherry-pick facts that fit the narratives and will ignore those that don’t fit the narrative.
Update Apparently the correct answer is “seven.”
This ad juxtaposes a house with a foreclosure sign, McCain’s uncertainty about his own houses, and a statement about how we can’t afford to have him in the White House.
McCain’s people hit back by reminding us Obama took a vacation in Hawaii. What a bitter old grump McCain is turning out to be.
The number of houses he owns is greater than the number of planes he’s crashed. That’s a large number for either category.
Can’t remember because the houses are all in Cindy’s name.
Pretty funny, T.
That didn’t take long. McCain spokesman points out that he only had one “house” during the 5 1/2 years he was in a Vietnamese Prison.
They trot out his POW status so often, they’re in danger of it attaining the same status as the “in bed” thing you add to the end of fortune cookies. Or maybe it will become like a Yakov Smirnoff routine. “So McCain owns seven houses. When he was a POW in Hanoi, seven houses owned HIM!”
I’m guessing he didn’t want to accidentally say “I have 8” and then have someone realize that he has a house that he lives in that no one knows about, which is being paid for by some wealthy Texas oil magnate who also happens to be a gay pedophile and eats little baby bunnies raw with imported rhino horns grated on top.
Dave –
Is the imported rhino horn really that much better than the domestic?
Buy American!
Gary Glitter is loaning a house to McCain?!?
Oh, wait, he’s not a Texas oil magnate…..
