Next question, "How many McMansions do you own?" "Uh, I don't know? 3 or 4 maybe?"
C'mon, this guy doesn't even know how many homes he owns? Uncle Ronnie had more lucid moments before he got elected. I am glad to see someone who did know McCain speak up supporting him, but not his presidential campaign. It shows a side that most of us don't get to know.
A correction to the article: McCain didn't graduate fifth from the bottom in a class of 800. He graduated fifth from the bottom of a class of 899.
Recently, Barack Obama and John McCain were both asked "How much money do you have to earn to be considered rich?" Obama's answer: "If you earn $250K, you're in the top 3 or 4 percent of the country - you're doing well." I like that Obama shows an awareness of how much the people of the country he intends to lead are earning.
McCain, on the other hand, answered "In terms of just income? I dunno... maybe five million?" Apparently, if I were just earning $3 million a year, I wouldn't be 'rich.' Damn, I have farther than I thought before I can break out of the middle class. :(

Um, yeah, we can do better than that. :/
