Well, I Forgot How Many Toasters I Have

personally don't mind that John McCain and his wife own seven or eight or 11 homes, depending on whose count you accept. I also don't mind that he doesn't really know how many he and his wife own.

In fact, the more I read about it, the more confused I got, too.

McCain himself may even be homeless. According to Politico.com — which has done some of the most rigorous analysis of this question and which is currently going with a hard eight as its McCain domicile number — all of the houses and condos are actually owned by his wife, Cindy McCain, "her dependent children and the trusts and companies they control."

I even get the feeling that Cindy has kind of a Lucy Ricardo streak when it comes to real estate. Every morning, when Ricky — I mean John — heads off to campaign for president, he says, "Now, honey, don't buy any more condominiums while I'm out. And don't try to fool me by having the Porky and LaToya McCain Worm-Baiter LLC buy one like you did last time, because I'm wise to that now."

2. Bing Crosby had something to say about that....
"Was in a Paris cafe that first I found him
He was a Frenchman, a hero of the war
But war was over
And here's how peace had crowned him
A few cheap medals to wear and nothing more
Now every night in the same cafe he shows up
And as he strolls by ladies hear him say
If you admire me, hire me
A gigolo who knew a better day

Just a gigolo, everywhere I go
People know the part I'm playing
Paid for every dance
Selling each romance
Every night some heart betraying
There will come a day
Youth will pass away
Then what will they say about me
When the end comes I know
They'll say just a gigolo
As life goes on without me

Just a gigolo, everywhere I go
People know the part I'm playing
Paid for every dance
Selling each romance
Every night some heart betraying
There will come a day
Youth will pass away
Then what will they say about me
When the end comes I know
They'll say just a gigolo
As life goes on without me "

3. It doesn't matter if you have nothing to put in them
America is hurting.

McCain can't understand that.

4. The criticism of McLame is appropriate.
He tried to paint Obama as an elitist who is out of touch with most Americans. Then, after his chief economic advisor called Americans a bunch of whiners, he couldn't remember how many mansions he owns? The hypocrite deserves all the piling on that can be mustered and I'm enjoying it.

5. Rofl!
Everyone I know is talking about McCondo's housing crisis. No one can believe he's that elitist that he doesn't know what kind of car he drives or how many homes he has. Simply. Amazing.
