Bush Moves To Remove Iraq From The Campaign By... Adopting Obama's Position-- McCain Too Busy Counting His Homes To Realize
DownWithTyranny! —
After a sudden and unannounced flight, Condoleeza Rice is in Baghdad this morning. She's hammering the Iraqi political leadership on the timing of the withdrawal of U.S. forces And on the issue of extraterritoriality (i.e.- the "issue of immunity for American troops from Iraqi prosecution.") The U.S. and Iraq have been haggling over this since early March and Condi said, “This agreement will be ready when it’s ready." It's especially funny because American neoCons are yelling about Russian troops occupying a couple of checkpoints in northern Georgia near where Stalin was born just as the UN document making the U.S. ...
McCain can't remember all his houses? The "I don't recall" routine is starting already!
Daily Kos —
The money quotes: But then there was another interview – this is yesterday, same day – where somebody asked John McCain, how many houses do you have? And he said, I'm not sure. I'll have to check with my staff. [Audience laughs.] True quote. I'm not sure. I'll have to check with my staff. So they asked his staff, and he said, at least four. At least four. Now, think about that. And by the way, the answer is John McCain has seven homes. As we all know by now, McCain's really stepped in it with ...
McCain can’t remember how many homes he owns
Crooks and Liars —
Only non-elitists have trouble keeping track of all their multi-million dollar houses.
Politico: (audio available here)
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in an interview Wednesday that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own.
“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.”
Is McCain’s memory so shot that he genuinely can’t remember? Hell, a parking lot he owns is ...

The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
A liberal group puts out a Youtube citing McCain's "Black Centurion" Amex card, the type you get if you spend more than a quarter of a million a year on it. This is getting pettier. On the other hand, McCain started the personal attacks, with the celebrity mockery. If he hadn't, I think the media would be tougher on the Dems. ...

In other news, the McCain campaign dropped another 'Celebrity' ad this morning. The media and voters across the nation barely stifled a collective yawn.
Is McCain really worried about his family budget, paying more for gas and food, his family budget and paying tuition? Really?
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth —
McCain has a new ad out today, which, of course trashes Obama. It's actually quite mock-worthy. I'm not linking to a McCain ad, but here are the first couple lines: ANNCR: Celebrities don't have to worry about family budgets, but we sure do. We're paying more for food and gas, making it harder to save for college, retirement. I bolded the use of the word "WE" because I find it very curious. Is McCain trying to include himself in that "WE"? Because, I think the political reporters and pundits need to ask McCain when was the last time he had to worry about a family budget. When ...

So, let me see if I have this whole “Let’s attack McCain and his pretty wife because she’s rich” campaign right.The democrats/left have sucked down decades of self-importance in women’s right and equality, and a level playing field for women in the workplace and big business corporations.Cindy McCain is independently wealthy. Doesn’t NEED a man to take care of her. Spends loads of time, energy, and money doing ‘good deeds’ around the world. Raised children. Fell in love with and adopted a poor, different race, ‘deformed’, unwanted ...
