But I drink a lot. [Come to think of it, I own a half a house, which I share with my wife, Indymac Bank and Countrywide Mortgage -- it's so rare to be more financially savvy than the people who hold your mortgages.]
Nothin' says man o' the people like a cover story in Architectural Digest.
Leave John McCain alone!!! He was a POW.
Can you fucking imagine if Barack Obama said he doesn't know how many houses he owns or if Michelle Obama ever said that she needed to buy a second multi-million dollar beach condo because the kids were crowding up the first one?
Seriously, I represent pension funds that have smaller real estate portfolios than St. John of the Tiger Cage. Not to mention smaller staffs. (McCain's budget for household staff increased from $184,000 in 2006 to $273,000 in 2007 -- why am I guessing that this wasn't due to really big raises?)
The Obama campaign needs to hammer this thing home over and over and over. Yes, exactly so. You can already hear these fuckers squealing like pigs. [I love the response by one -- "Americans aspire to be rich. They don't want to eat arugula and hang out with celebrities." Yes, Americans are really celebrity averse; a message driven home to me every time I stand in the supermarket check out line (when I give my staff the day off).]
Still, at least he doesn't get $400 hair cuts.
