Not even the Village can get McSame out of this one.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in an interview Wednesday that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own.John Aravosis at AmericaBlog takes it from here:
"I think — I'll have my staff get to you," McCain told Politico 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.
How rich do you have to be, and how cognitively impaired, to not remember how many homes you have? Folks, this is just weird. McCain's oddly inconsistent mental state is a serious, valid question in this election, and the media seems afraid to address it head on. Real people don't have so many homes that they can't remember, unless they're absurdly rich, or they're losing their faculties. McCain didn't make these kind of gaffes eight years ago, when he was 64. What's going on?What's going on is that the GOP and the Village have been pounding and pounding on the uppity elitist Obama meme for two months now and they have gotten McSame within "tight race" territory with it.
NOTE TO DEMOCRATS: This is manna from heaven. Run a freaking ad about this, non-stop.Between this and the whole "I don't disagree with you" gaffe on the draft the Obama camp has a double-barrel blast that can put this race back solidly in the Democrats' favor.
It is time to fight back.
