So Who Is An Elitist??
A housing issue: McCain not sure how many they own
By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Days after he cracked that being rich in the U.S. meant earning at least $5 million a year, Republican presidential candidate John McCain acknowledged that he wasn't sure how many houses he and his wealthy wife actually own.
"I think — I'll have my staff get to you," McCain responded to a question posed by Politico, according to a story Thursday on the publication's Web site. "It's condominiums where — I'll have them get to you."
Later, the McCain campaign told Politico that McCain and his wife, Cindy, have at least four in three states, Arizona, California and Virginia. Newsweek recently estimated the two owned at least seven properties.
On the campaign trail, McCain doesn't refer to his wife's wealth, estimated by some at $100 million and based on her late father's Arizona beer distributorship. McCain's campaign didn't respond immediately to a request for comment Thursday.

Did you hear Gov. Tim Kaine's response?
He had the best line. He said the reason McCain couldn't answer is he couldn't count high enough! LMAO!

And of course, since Cindy isn't a histrionic black woman, as all black women are, wink wink nudge nudge, but a poster child for Aryanism, she's deemed off limits by the press. Thus, all this loot is imaginary.

Hey, anyone calling Johnny McRealestate a rich elitist might just get their ass kicked by one of his pair of $520 black leather Ferragamo shoes.
How dare anyone suggest the favorite aristocratic son of the military industrial complex is an elitist?

McCain's comment about $5 million being rich was minimized and excused away laughingly but you can not minimize or excuse this away.
Obama elitist shit! I am so sick of the hypocrisy and these lying pukes get away with it. Obama better jump on this and should have already!
