John McCain has more houses than I have...
In case you haven't heard, a reporter asked John McCain, the guy running for President against that skinny black "elitist" kid from Chicago, just how many houses he owns yesterday. He was utterly stumped.
"I think...I'll have my staff get to you."
Well here's how many houses John McCain owns...seven. SEVEN! All of this got me to thinking...what do I own seven of? Truthfully, not much. Which then got me to thinking about how John McCain has more houses than I have a shitload of other things. I took a quick inventory of my life and came up with a short list. John McCain has more houses than I have of each of these things...
-Pairs of shoes
-Jeans
-Matching flatware
-Socks without holes in them
-Cold beers in the fridge
-Ties
-Knock off watches purchased on canal street.
-Hardcover books
-Condoms that have yet to eclipse their expiration date
-Baseball caps
-Email address accounts
-Framed photographs
-Bottles of wine
-Underwear (Disclosure: Not a fan of)
-Hard drives
-Long sleeved shirts
-Razors
-Close friends
-Unread emails in my inbox
-Siblings
-Serious girlfriends over the course of my life
-Tickets of any variety (concert, plane, traffic, etc.)

-Unread back issues of magazines that I subscribe to
-Coffee mugs
-Phone calls that I have to return
-Pillows
-Windows in my apartment
-Rolls of toilet paper
-Tattoos (Of which, I have none)
-Scars

-LSU and New Orleans Saints themed wardrobe items
-Icons on my desktop
-Threesomes
-Bath towels
-Erotic thoughts about Anna Friel in the past 24 hours
-Sunglasses
-Packs of frozen crawfish tailmeat (This is the one that pains me most of all...you'd have to be from Louisiana to understand)
Really, I could go on and on and on. Make your own list and think about it for a minute or two. Yeah. And just for kicks, check out Eric Spiegelman's side by side aerial photographic comparison of the McCain's estate (one of seven!) in Arizona and Aaron Spelling's estate in LA, thought by many to be the largest home in the LA/Hollywood/Beverly Hills area.
The Obama campaign's rapid response team has already unleashed a commercial, titled "Seven," to pounce on this. It is below...

He and his wife own four houses. As she was worth over $100m when they married, that doesn't seem that high to me.
His wife's trusts own more. John doesn't own them.
Since BHO got his $3m house from a developer and convicted felon in a sweetheart deal [convicted for his pay-to-play bribes in Chicago], he should be careful going down this road. It will backfire on him. Unless he thinks his $3m house makes him a man of the people...
Why is being smart and successful a bad thing? What is wrong with enjoying what you earn? Are we in America or Cuba?
@anonymous of the four houses....um OK, so 3 of what they own are condos not technically a house - all of which are worth around 1million each...try again.
"And she was worth over $100m when they married, that doesn't seem that hight to me." who are you - Bill Gates?!?!?! WTF. please say you are joking.
As far as BHO and his $3m house, at least he EARNED it, paid for it, while he was paying off student loans to Harvard, which he just finished paying off. THAT's what makes him a man of the people.
@Anonymous McCain touts that he is a man of the people, that he is just like middle class people, who are struggling to pay their mortgages right now.

Ummm...Is you be a liar?
hahaha....
we have as much chance of getting 'a man of the people' being elected president as cajun boy swearing off andouille...dont recall too many dems griping about mrs kerry's wealth...does mccains military service give him more common ground than obama's harvard education...just looks like slim pickins yet again...
Funny you should post this. Just read this... http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/21/us/21condo.html?em (Downsizing in LA)...in the Times yesterday.
Anon, nothing wrong with wealth but most people figure if you own more than one house you could at least remember how many. "When the phone rings at 3 a.m. at The White House, will the President remember where he is?"

Damn - so what you're saying is we should all aspire to be poor ass slobs dependent on the government to pay our mortgage?
You're saying a man who has worked hard his entire life doesn't deserve to own seven houses? Why is being rich suddenly a bad thing?
Because you barely own 7 pairs of sneakers because youre an uneducated douche with a shitty blog that means we shouldn't vote for a rich war hero with a hot ass wife?
Eh - alot of the McCain place looks like land - and I'd imagine the cost of living and the land value in AZ to not exactly be on par with that of L.A.
Also - I want to have packages of crawfish tails - I want to make etouffee SO BAD. I refuse to buy that Chinese shit though, so I'm without :( I need my tails made with Louisiana mud! ;) Everyone around here keeps trying to shove crab cakes down my throat, I want to make my own crawfish cakes! Erk - I better stop, or I am going to go into full blown rant mode. :)
That's a house for every deadly sin!
Pride -- that's the biggest one
Gluttony -- no, that's the biggest one
Envy -- Under-furnished
Lust -- Hot tubs!
Greed -- okay, this has got to be the biggest one
Sloth -- comfy!
Wrath -- this must be the one in D.C.
@brian #2...no, i'm saying that the guy who is painting himself as the common man and his opponent as an "elitist" is full of shit. and by the way, most of what mccain owns came by way of having a rich wife. not saying the guy hasn't worked hard, but he's not become a rich man by virtue of the hard work that he's done.
and if owning less than 7 pairs of shoes makes me "an uneducated douche with a shitty blog," so be it. personally, i don't need any more than four or five pairs of shoes at one time. and though i'm not poor, i certainly have been, and i have no issues with that. sometimes being poor for a stretch of time is needed to become a success at what you're chasing. i mean, not all of us aspire to just marry a rich woman, you know.
Its typical McCain/Republican evil/greed. I never understood how a group that claims such moral high ground can be worse than satanists. I mean Republicans are EXPECTED to lie, cheat, steal during campaigns. Not to mention newer info pointing to Republicans/conservatives other hobbies http://www.armchairsubversive.org/
So is it suprising that he has 7 houses. No
Is it suprising that he forgot. No
Will it be suprising when he wins and poor slobs that voted for him get even poorer. No
Give McHostage a break. How can he be expected to remember how many houses his wife bought him when he can't remember where he left his dentures?
Obama is going to beat McCain's ass like the Viet Cong never did.
McCain has more houses than I have tabs open on Firefox.
McCain has more houses than i've had:
-Cars in my lifetime.
-Bikes in my lifetime (though ive had 6 so its close)
-Computers ive owned in my lifetime.
-Girlfriends ive had (semi-serious ones, 3 months or longer)
So yea, 7 houses is alot.
what does it take to yank me out of lurkdom? The mere mention of crawfish tails. Damn i miss new orleans *deep sigh*
McCain has more houses that he forgot about than I have lawnmowers. I have bought one lawnmower as an adult. He has more houses than I have gas grills. I have one gas grill. (I fried some good fresh Louisiana Shrimp on the side burner last night.)
McCain also has one more wife than I have ever had. I've been married to my cajun wife for seventeen years.
Face it Republicans, you just don't like it when we turn your bogus criticisms onto your own candidate.
Get used to it...
With Biden coming on board, we will strike back at every bullshit charge and tell the truth about the corruption that McSame is all about.
