McCain's mansions, pt. 2

John McCain doesn't know how many homes he owns.

Here's McCain answering a question about how many homes he owns, from Politico:
I think - I'll have my staff get to you. It's condominiums where - I'll have them get to you.


Is it 7 . . . or 13 . . .? This is the estimate that investigators have.

Even yahoo news has picked it up, in Jonathan Martin and Mike Allen's " McCain unsure how many houses he owns."

Brave New Films has yet another
viral video, this time on the number of homes that Hon and Cindy have. ... all of this in a time of mortgage, Freddie and Fannie crises.

[Thanks to the Blue Mass. Group.]

UPDATE

"The Chicago Sun Times" couldn't have said it better: "It's true; McCain has seven homes in five cities and three states."

And now, the Barack Obama campaign, using McCain's own words of bafflement in a 30 second TV ad, "Seven."

McCain's mansions

This just in, courtesy of Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films. It's very well-put:
"Most working families today do not have homes that have anywhere near ten rooms. John McCain has ten houses. Many working people in America have to work two and three jobs to provide for their families and pay their car loans. John McCain hops on a private jet. Is it any wonder why McCain champions a George Bush agenda of cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, helping oil companies turn record profits, and leaving working families to fend for themselves? McCain's velvet world leaves him utterly unprepared to make the tough choices we need to restore the middle class and ensure that everyone in America has quality, affordable health insurance."
