House-gate

Or is it Houses-Gate? The question of the day is:

HOW MANY HOUSES DOES JOHN McCAIN OWN?

Honestly, you might think this would be an easy question to answer. At least for regular folks. For instance, I own exactly zero homes. Just like most of the people I know.

I do know one guy who's a lawyer and does very, very well. He also owns some investment properties. If I were to ask him how many homes he owns, this is how the conversation would go:

Me: Hey, how many homes do you own?

Him: 4, my house and three other that I rent.

Me: Cool, thanks.

Him: How many you own?

Me: None. You know that; I make jack shit as a scientist.

Him: oh...


Yet here's what John McCain said when asked the same question:
"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."
He doesn't even fucking know how many homes he owns? WTF? Is he that f-ing rich? Or is he just senile? How can anyone not know how many homes they own? WHAT. THE. F?

Anyway, the DNC has put together a helpful guide to let McCain know just how many homes he owns:

Must be nice to be so f-ing rich that you don't even know how many homes you own...

Update:

Here's the audio of John "I'll have my staff get back to you on that" McCain
