I've got a new piece up at The Guardian's Comment is free America, "John McCain's housing problem."Anyway, it's Obama who's the fancypants elitist, with all his arugula this and Europe that. Like McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers says: "Does a guy who made more than $4m last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses?" Seriously. The way Obama carries on, you'd think he was born in Hawaii and was practically like the president or something. Yeesh.Read the whole thing here.
And I've heard he didn't even inherit his money, but earned it himself. How gauche.
BTW: The latest report puts the McCains' properties at eight. (Why is this so hard to quanify, anyway?!) And Attaturk notes that the McCains are spending "more than a quarter-million for what in common parlance would be described as servants," according to their tax returns.
