Personally, I don’t really care how rich Oily McWar and Miss Buffalo Chip are. I really don’t.
But since the right has made a living out of portraying liberals and democrats as out-of-touch elites, I feel like mentioning that the McWars reportedly own nine houses.
Nine.
9.
IX.
Nueve.
That may help to explain why the Senator doesn’t seem to feel the economic pain of his fellow Americans, and why he thinks many of our economic problems are “psychological.”
Well, Oily, I have news for you – most Americans don’t own nine houses. In fact, many Americans don’t even own five! Seriously!
(Here’s a question: what do you think would go through McCain’s head if he met a homeless person? Dude! Talk about awkward!)
Hey – that gives me an idea. In these tough economic times, I think we all need to make sacrifices. So I am hereby calling on John McCain to make a sacrifice on behalf of his fellow countrymen. Senator – please give away three of your houses to homeless Americans, and see if you can get by with six. You can do it! I know you can!
Now, while you try to decide which six houses to keep, we’ll watch a little video highlighting your “straight talk.”

Since we know that he’s not going to give up a house or three, we need to help McCain think about how he could put his resources to work without actually giving up any personal wealth. Perhaps, inspired by his insights into the human psychological condition, McCain might push Congress to fund nationwide initiatives for treatment of Homelessness and Foreclosure Disorder. (HFD is found under the umbrella the You’re Getting Screwed By Elites And They Don’t Care Disorders. See? It’s all just psychological.)
From CNN:
“Cindy McCain recently gave a rare private interview to CNN in which she disclosed her opinions on transportation in Arizona, her home state. The McCains have tried to distance themselves from elitism, but apparently Mrs. McCain believes that the only way to get around is by ‘small private plane.’”
