John McCain can't remember how many houses he owns. For real.
Yeah, I have that same problem. Oh, wait.........NO I DON'T.
And, in my humble opinion as a public relations professional, McCain needs to keep this guy away from the press. First of all, don't threaten to bring up someone else's relationship with a shady financier when you work for the guy who the Senate Ethics Committee officially determined exercised "poor judgment" as one of the Keating Five. Second, one "mansion" =/= seven houses and $750,000 in credit card charges in one month. Third, you really shouldn't use language like "frickin'" and "arugula-eating, pointy headed professor-type" unless you're running for president of the South Park Elementary student council.
But finally... McCain and his handlers have been accused of exploiting the fact that McCain survived five and a half years in the Hanoi Hilton, using it whenever they need to deflect criticism. As the child of a Vietnam vet, I keep my mouth shut. Both sides have waved the bloody shirt for political gain over the years. But this:
[Rogers] also added: "This is a guy who lived in one house for five and a half years -- in prison," referring to the prisoner of war camp that McCain was in during the Vietnam War.
Yeah, that just pisses me off. What, a Vietnam vet automatically deserves to marry a gazillionaire trophy wife with so many houses he can't keep track of them all? I'm sure these guys are thrilled to know it. Or maybe they can just drop in on John and Cindy sometime...if they can figure out which house to go to.
