The DNC has sent us this lovely map of John McCain’s houses and airplanes and gnome slaves. Since they’ve made it terribly unreadable, you may view it full size in right here. But to the point: this is devastating you see! Because most of his properties are “condominiums,” a fancy rich word that the well-to-do use when referring to what common folks call “apartments.” And can you even believe this Fun Fact that one of McCain’s “condos” — that is rich slang for “condominiums” — has a concierge, a French word meaning, “house slave who shows rich people the least congested route to the airport during rush hour.”
McCain’s Houses Are Mostly Condos, Which Don’t Count

I’m trying really hard to think of a fake scandal that would bore me less… and I have nothing.
Crystal City? Isn’t that a trailer park?
Is this McCain’s ‘Supermarket scanner’ moment?
Incidentally, can anyone explain the condo/apartment thing to me? On the East Coast, everyone called them apartments. On the West Coast, the term “condo” seems to refer to an apartment that you OWN, rather than rent. It’s an odd and kind of pointless distinction.
I alway pictured ‘condos’ as being more like large townhouses on a golf course. Or as McCain likes to call it “Home Number 7″.
In each of his homes, you will find a note on the refrigerator door that reads “NO ARUGULA ALLOWED!!”
I like La Jolla.
[re=65231]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: John Edwards boffing people.
Also, if we want to deal with semantics here, a couple of the properties are estates in which there are several houses on one property. For instance: Sedona.
And then the Phoenix Condo was actually two units made into one.
So the various numbers of his/trust fund owning 4, 7 or 10 homes depends on how one would calculate as such.
It’s all subjective and up for conjecture… much like the rest of Cindy’s taxes that she has yet to give up.
Whats with the fucking gnome? That’s just mean to poor walnuts.
Well, at least we’re talking about the issues!
Just enough bathrooms so you wouldn’t have to flush for a month.
Sweet.
Those “Fun Facts” are more like “Depression Nuggets”.
McCain camp has responded again.
[re=65249]Richard Gozinya[/re]: That settles it. McCain is an ex-con.
[re=65231]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: I heard he once only paid for the all-you-can-eat pizza buffet when several people clearly saw him also visit the salad bar, which is an extra $2.99.
[re=65231]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: I’m a little disappointed that this is going to undercut McCain more than, say, his support for tax cuts for the rich, his idiotic posturing on Georgia (ooh, that sounds vaguely dirty), his lack of knowledge in his alleged specialty of foreign affairs, that his campaign is teeming with lobbyists, his shameless kissing-up to evangelical twatwaffles, his insistence that we’ve won in Iraq, his complete ignorance of economic matters, his trading on a maverick image with no substance to back it up, his history with the Keating five scandal, or the fact that he’s just plain mean.
On the other hand, if this is the rock that beats the crap out of him, I’m all for it.
Can they tell us which of these places he’s fucked Vicki Iseman?
[re=65240]TGY[/re]: LaJolla is nice, though a prefer the one just south of Puerto Vallarta.
But *three* house/condo/whatevers in SoCal alone? OK, I finally believe McCain is actually insane.
The DNC map doesn’t even include Trolloponia Grove or Cuntlebacks #1 and #2.
My my, McCain’s cheeks are awfully rosy these days.
Are they trying to say McCain looks like a gnome? I hope McCain resists the urge to show a lawn ornament resembling Obama in his response.
[re=65243]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: I think that’s the Travelocity Gnome. LOL
[re=65257]ManchuCandidate[/re]: That would be in the butt, Bob.
Like they did to him for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS!!
[re=65237]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: No, we call them condos on the east coast. In NYC, they call them apartments, whether they are co-ops or condos. They own their apartments in NYC sometimes. Other places, we don’t typically say that. We rent apts and own condos. It is really only a legal distinction regarding the ownership type and also in size (so you can have a condo that looks more like a townhouse).
[re=65257]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Oh, hell, where hasn’t he done that? The old fart has blown his dusty seed all over this proud nation while congressing with Ms. Vicki.
I wouldn’t even let my dog stay in a condo in Coronado worth less than $3 mil, so those don’t count.
[re=65249]Richard Gozinya[/re]: Holy crap, I thought you were joking about that last line…you were not. How ridiculous!
[re=65237]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]:
Condos have two kinds of fees.
In basic terms:
Apartment = Rent is due, but maintenance is on the house
Condo = Mortgage (Rent + Death) + Condo fees which = paying for all the free maintenance you get with an apartment which, depending on location, can go from expensive to Ungodly Expensive (from the perspective of the non-elitey type folks like me, and 98.5 percent of the Amurkan populace.)
McCain’s spokesman says Barry lives in a frikkin’ mansion. Not just a mansion, a FRIKKIN’ mansion. At least he bought it with his own money, which he earned from the books he actually wrote himself.
[re=65266]Doglessliberal[/re]: (PS: I live in a condo that we own. If we didn’t, and rented, I’d call it an apartment).
…if the Branch Dravidian and Heavens Gate Cult taught us anything, its to NEVER trust anyone who calls their home a “Compound”. Secondly he has 3 homes in the Mexican cities of Coronado #1, Coronado #2 and La Jolla; this reveals John McCain’s TRUE Panamanian agenda! And finally his home in the city of “Camelback” shows that John McCain is so sexually depraved that he would buy a house in a city named after sexual position that he does with his wife!
…is that gnome about to attack the west coast Godzilla style?!
[re=65244]freakishlystrong[/re]: Remember when he tried to talk about the issues, and his numbers started going down? This is the way to explain his inability to understand economic problems. I wish we could be talking about McCain’s terrifying health care plan that will take away incentives for businesses to provide health care to their employees or that we could talk about the fact that off-shore drilling will do NOTHING to prices. But no one listens to that. It is too complicated. They’ve already made up their mind. So, dems have to make McCain look like an even scarier Bush. They have to remind people that he isn’t some middle class hero maverick. Sadly, this is what they have to do… and hopefully it works. Because I really like having health insurance.
“In terms of who’s an elitist, I think people have made a judgment that John McCain is not an arugula-eating, pointy headed professor-type based on his life story.”
Pointy headed? Jesus H. Christ.
Why don’t they just accuse BO of picking his nose and eating it?
Fun Fact that one of McCain’s “condos” — that is rich slang for “condominiums” — has a concierge, a French word meaning, “house slave who shows rich people the least congested route to the airport during rush hour.”
Let’s be honest, Walnut’s concierge is there more for helping him change his depends and feeding him applesauce than finding the least congested route to the airport.
[re=65243]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Classier than a pink flamingo. Besides, he doesn’t have any houses in Florida.
[re=65273]The Incomparable Tiny Valdez[/re]: Obama has ONE house that he bought for $1.6 mil. McCain has one condo worth more than that. And then six more houses/condos. I know that they have to respond somehow, but talking about how Obama lives in a mansion isn’t going to work. Hopefully.
Man… I just want to hibernate. Wake me up for Thanksgiving.
[re=65249]Richard Gozinya[/re]:
Jesus Horatio Christ. I know that redefining the question is important in political campaigns, but come on. Five And A Half Years is quickly becoming McCain’s personal 9-11.
condos are like houses only you share walls and then you can hear your neighbors fuck
Well, this map will certainly help him remember how many homes he has. To be fair, the Crystal City one is his DC pied-a-terre, and McCain needs it for his job of inhaling the johnsons of lobbyists.
[re=65257]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Quite possibly all of them, plus the jet.
Isn’t a condo just an apartment that you own?
Still, I have a feeling that McCain’s “condos” are like the high-rise in Land of the Dead, very exclusive and meant as a bulwark against encroachment by flesh-eating zombies (AKA beer drinking bitters).
[re=65281]MoodProcessor[/re]: picking your nose is less damning than being knowledgeable.
[re=65286]floraway[/re]: Not until you fill out your early ballot.
This gets better and better:
In response to Obama’s criticism Thursday, McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers asked: “Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses? Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people ‘cling’ to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans?”
However, the McCain campaign erred in part of its criticism: Hawaii has no private beaches. Obama, who was born in Hawaii and spent most of his youth there, visited relatives during his vacation and joined members of the public swimming and surfing in the ocean.
If, at 44, dumping your wife for a 25-year-old cheerleader worth several hundred million is wrong, then damnit, I don’t WANT to be right.
I can’t believe how fast the Obama campaign is responding to this — first the ad, then his speech today, and now the map? That’s pretty awesome.

[re=65243]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: [re=65263]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: The gnome is in reference to the tradition of taking pictures of a gnome at exotic locations…to sort of show where you’ve been. I, however, have an 8×10 of Wilford Brimley that I tote around the world to depict. I really need to get those online…
And in Chicago, you rent an apartment and own a condo.
And, of course, there’s the inherent humor in this:
http://bourbonroom.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/08/21/mccains-builds-houses-for-obama-economic-attacks/
I’m not sure which is better…the fact that the address starts with “bourbonroom,” the fact that the author looks like a goon and is named Major Garrett, or the fact that the title seems to be poorly constructed from an elitist grammatical perspective.
Fuck anyone who owns any real estate called a compound, unless their surname is Corleone.
[re=65294]NotNotLickingToads[/re]:
I’m sure the McCain campaign simply couldn’t conceive of a sitting Senator actually attending a public beach, mingling with the unwashed.
Barry does not live in a “mansion,” not by Chicago standards. A million dollar home in this era of inflated house prices is just a really nice freakin’ house, not an estate or two complete with a staff like the McCains have. There are homes like Barry’s here in southern Ohio that cost the about the same, and the people who live in them are usually two income families with upscale jobs and 1 or 2 kids, and a hefty mortgage.
The idle rich live in a different neighborhood, with 1 acre minimum plots. Those are the Bush/McCain supporters.
[re=65281]MoodProcessor[/re]: Yeah, who wants a smart president anyway? We’ve done just fine with Dubya, thank you very much.
[re=65280]floraway[/re]: The brilliant electorate, always willing to bitch, never willing to listen…
[re=65233]liquiddaddy[/re]: That’s the local cops nickname for Cindy’s supplier in the area.
[re=65237]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Additionally, when you pay off a condo, you get profits, etc. from selling it, as far as I understand it. In a sense, it’s like owning a small house and you pay for the “community’s” groundskeeping.
Does the gnome signify that Waluts! is sponsored by Travelocity? Or can we book reservations to them on their site? Imagine…living like a Trollop/Cunt for a week on vacation.
[re=65255]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Oh, c’mon – you and I both know that his isn’t going to do any damage to him. A pro-Obama group puts out an ad mocking McCain for being rich? (Obama didn’t approve of that ad, did he?) I mean, we’re talking about a populace that will believe anything so long as it prevents an uppity brown man from being their leader.
[re=65304]wallythepug[/re]: I pray that the Obama campaign makes a simple comparison regarding how much the McCains will benefit from his tax plan versus how little the Obamas will benefit from his…
[re=65278]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: No, it’s his bank coming to repo the LaJolla properties.
You don’t bullshit with a giant gnome.
[re=65255]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I’m a little disappointed too but considering the media only covers stuff like this then bring it on. And you could look at it as karma for calling Obama an unpatriotic, arugula eating celebrity. Or all those times they made fun of Edwards and Gore for their houses. Or all the times they made fun of Kerry for having a rich wife. Or all those times they made fun of any Democrat for not being a man of the people because they’re elitists. Sometimes payback is a bitch.
Plus, it’s kinda fun watching all the Republican’s heads explode.
They only bought the one in Crystal City cause Cindy thought that’s where they make meth.
I want a concierge who does my hair and makeup in the morning, then rubs me down every evening before feeding me homemade meatloaf and roasted potatoes for dinner.
[re=65308]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: No, seriously. This is going to backfire on the Dems so badly. When we look back at the failed Obama campaign while huddling in our bomb shelters as the world above us dissolves in a nuclear holocaust, we are going to be able to pinpoint the failure of what could have been an amazing political achievement as the day that one moderately-wealthy candidate allowed his team to go negative on a slightly more wealthy candidate.
[re=65237]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: The distinction is you own your condo, but rent an apartment- at least here in the Midwest. It’s sort of an elitist thing I guess, but owners tend to take better care of their places than renters.
[re=65266]Doglessliberal[/re]: That’s not how it works everywhere. In Chicago it was all apartments, whether you owned or rented. I always thought a ‘condo’ was something that happened in other places and involved more rules.
[re=65249]Richard Gozinya[/re]: I gaffled this comment from that thread, had to make a few changes though:
“McCain was a child of privilege who was helped into the Naval Academy by his influential family. He was an poor student who finished 894th out of a class of 899 (that’s the bottom, folks). He was then mysteriously included in flight training, an opportunity usually afforded only the top of the class. This anomaly makes me believe there is a real value to the usual selection procedure, since McCain proved to be a less that proficient pilot, destroying a total of 5 airplanes in his short military career. His capture and imprisonment are certainly unfortunate, but they in no way qualify him for the office to which he aspires. Interestingly, the most grievous complaint about McCain is his cruel abandonment of his first wife after she waited patiently for five years for him to return from Vietnam. This is made more disgusting because McCain’s abandonment of his first wife was fueled by his adulterous interest in a more attractive and conveniently wealthy younger woman.”
It’s funny because it’s true.
[re=65310]NotNotLickingToads[/re]: They should illustrate the point by framing the savings in terms like:
“Under his proposed tax plan, John McCain would save enough money to buy himself 4000 pairs of his favorite $520 Italian loafers, or another luxury condominium… “
[re=65314]Hooray For Anything[/re]: But we live in country full of bullies with middling IQs! I mean, Jesus Christ, today NPR ran a story about how Kerry suggested that intelligence and police work would be more effective against terrorism than pure military force and he was mocked heartily and at the and OMFG it turns out that he was right.
The same thing is going to happen here. It’s happening. Five years from now, McCain is going to quietly sign a new constitutional amendment requiring that we all keep our tires inflated in order to conserve oil. And Repubs will get behind it, having long ago taken to using their Obama-branded tire pressure gauges as buttplugs used while jacking off to photos of Ann Coulter in a mini-shirt.
Somebody fucking get me some motherfucking whiskey. I can’t even tell you why I hate hope so much right now.
[re=65320]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: I agree with you but I’d argue with the phrase “slightly more wealthy.” McCain is a whole helluva lot more wealthy than Obama. (I know the point is that they are *both* wealthy men.)
[re=65231]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: I totally hear you, and yet, as others have said, if the repubs can get months worth of mileage out of some fake scandal like Obama really being a secret muslim (and that bullshit meme is still making the rounds), I’m cool with the dems hitting back with a fake scandal about how old Daddy Warbucks McCain is actully a secret rich person with seventy billion houses, French maids and pool boys called Jeeves. Except of course the bitterz will somehow admire that and wish they could be more like him…a rich old white man. Sigh. This will backfire on us, won’t it?
[re=65294]NotNotLickingToads[/re]: That’s right. There are no private beaches in Hawaii. That’s because Hawaii is a commie-pinko-socialist hell, where decent citizens like John McCain are prohibited by law from owning their own beach where they can land their own plane and have sexy times with Vicki Isemann and not be observed except by passing sharks and puka-shell animals. Stalinist hero Barry Osama is a product of this environment, so look out, America. No more private beaches for you!!
[re=65330]MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend[/re]: Yeah, Obama’s only upper middle class in a McCain world.
[re=65258]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Well, when you “live” in Arizona, you gotta get the fuck out any time you can, particularly in summer. I’m pretty sure the two condos on Coronado have been combined into one–they’re in a group of old buildings called Coronado Shores that were once, when rich Mexicans kept buying them, were known as Taco Towers. Crystal City is a futuristic dystopian complex of dreary apartments and offices (including lotsa DoD stuff) that no one like Cindy would dream of staying in longer than a night or two.
[re=65307]loudmouthredhead[/re]: You own the interior of your unit. You basically share ownership in the “common elements” (elevators, hallways, pool, parking lot) with the other unit owners in a condo unit owner’s association (a corporation). You all pay monthly condo dues to the association to cover repairs, landscaping, etc. And yes, your unit ownership is just like a house. You buy for $100K, you have a $50K mortgage, you sell for $200K, you have $150K in equity you cash in at closing.
And thus concludes this afternoon’s boring seminar on real estate law.
The DC area is rife with luxury condos with concierges who will do just about anything you want them to (probably schedule your appointment with a 4-diamond whore). But it is also rife with luxury apartment buildings with concierges. I’d rather have a lower condo fee and no concierge. There is just a lot of money thrown around in this neck fo the woods.
[re=65327]obfuscator[/re]: 200 hotel room rentals for lobbyist rogering.
“Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses?”
What’s wrong with you people? As the McCain spokesman pointed out, Obama is so rich he had to have help from a felon to buy his home. It makes perfect sense.
Did I say Ann Coulter? Sorry, replace that name with some male pundit. I forget that we are talking about COP faithful sometimes.
[re=65336]Doglessliberal[/re]:
The DC area is rife with luxury condos with concierges who will do just about anything you want them to (probably schedule your appointment with a 4-diamond whore).
Hey, watch it now. I don’t like the implications of this line of discourse. John McCain does not patronize whores… 4 diamond or otherwise. When he tires of his wife he finds a newer, younger one. No whores for McCain.
[re=65332]Whiskeybaby[/re]: You know what I mean, right? We’re talking about some very seriously delusional people. People that pitched Bush Jr. as someone who “served” his country and painted Kerry as a man who faked war injuries. AND THE COUNTRY BOUGHT IT.
For those of you who are utterly tired of my ranting, I just popped open a beer and everything will be fine in another twenty minutes or so.
[re=65249]Richard Gozinya[/re]: Holy hell… McCain’s campaign has become a parody of itself… It’s very post-modern and meta.
[re=65291]Serolf Divad[/re]: Remember, if not for beer-drinking bitters, McCain wouldn’t have all those condos.
The apt versus condo terminology is status-based. If you live in a condo, you are ELITE, because you are a property owner, and deserve the right to vote in America, as our Founders intended. This terminology is used everywhere except for NYC, where everyone is “just folks” and not class-conscious, and they call everything “an apartment.” The end.
[re=65343]Serolf Divad[/re]: McCain is the whore, though, so really, the concierge is just keeping his schedule.
[re=65345]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: I think we are all there with you. Some days I feel like marching down to 1600 with a pitchfork. But you have to laugh to keep from crying, right?
Beer is not the answer. I would suggest something much, much stronger. Ask Cindy.
[re=65351]MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend[/re]: a Wonkettini!
I have to get out of New York. I have absolutely no sticker shock and even the grand total is somewhat underwhelming. I don’t get the number of homes or the location decisions so much. It does seem excessive and impractical.
Obama is an elitist btw and not because he has a big house. I think they mean his intellectual pretension.
No one here would have any idea what that looks like.
calm down, people. how the hell is he supposed to provide for all of Romney’s wives. they can’t live together and, you know, synchronize.
[re=65357]trophy(forparticipation)wife[/re]: Nice sticker price elitism.
[re=65329]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: That seems to be the Republicans strategy since Bush was elected– slam every Democratic idea and call them all sorts of names, and then quietly move to the Democratic viewpoint. Today they just announced some sort of timeframe to get the troops out of Iraq despite all the screaming and squawking they’ve done everytime a Democrat called for that. It’s like why are those people in polls saying that they have more faith in McCain in foreign policy when Obama’s been pretty much right about everything.
Of course, understanding any of this would involve paying attention to the news or the political reporters actually doing their jobs. Which brings us back to this story because it’s probably the only thing people will hear/read about.
[re=65345]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: It has really started dawning on me over the last few weeks that Barry has a serious chance of losing this thing. And the most depressing part of it is that if he loses it won’t be because of his policies; it won’t be because he stayed above the fray or went negative; it won’t be about whether he stayed faithful to Michelle or was found to have fathered 15 love children which he shares with John Edwards on weekends…it will be because a creepy majority of this country would rather die than see a black man get into the white house. And the craven assholes in the msm who are always desperate for some new drama to keep the election exciting will have enabled it.
Anyway, I have really depressed myself now. I will have a beer in solidarity while I try and think of some assfucking jokes.
Today’s the day everything turns. WALNUTS! just stepped in it, and Barry’s out there looking like he’s having fun. This is the perfect opportunity to allow Barry to drive home the point that WALNUTS! doesn’t, to borrow a phrase, “feel your pain.”
And if I were Barry, and were planning to announce my VP pick today, I’d hold off just because this too good to crowd out.
[re=65345]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: I feel your pain, but hope against hope that Hopey’s rapid response team makes a difference. I thought Bush Sr. was an asshat for his “amendment to prevent burning of the flag”, and Dubya’s swiftboating accusations were laughable, considering there’s still no one who remembers seeing Bush in the military the time he just went AWOL. I remember the PT Barnum quote “no one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American people.” I’m hoping that Hopey does a mult-tiered approach, rational policy statements for the thinking populace, as well as keeping the rest of America happy with peppy soundbites.
So if he doesn’t win, are they called apartments or condos in Canada?
[re=65362]NotNotLickingToads[/re]: Not really.
[re=65374]trophy(forparticipation)wife[/re]: Sure it was. You made sure from the get-go that everybody knew that you don’t think that it’s much of a big deal because you live in New York, where everything is sooo expensive and blah blah blah. You then proceeded to inform us that Obama is an intellectual elitist and then employed that classic device, passive aggression, to imply that Wonkette is also populated with elitists.
[re=65237]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]:
At least on the New England end of the East Coast, we make the distinction between ‘condo’ and ‘apartment’.
‘Condos’ you own, and if something breaks inside, you have to fix it or pay to get it fixed, which is fine if your wife has millions of dollars from distributing an addictive drug called ‘beer’ (my addictive drug of choice, fyi). Also, you have to pay some sort of ‘association’ fee, which allows your rich neighbors to tell you what color drapes you can have.
‘Apartments’, such as mine, are usually shittier and once a year, the landlord can double your monthly payment, or just kick you out. If something breaks you just call the landlord and tell him to fix it. Then he’ll ignore you for a while and you end up fixing it yourself. It’s totally different.
[re=65366]Whiskeybaby[/re]: He cannot lose because I simply cannot live through four years of hearing McCain say “my friends,…”. My head will explode.
Have hope and send more money to Barry.
[re=65385]NotNotLickingToads[/re]: Yeah, and in Obama’s case, it’s not pretension. He’s actually pretty smart, and people are intimidated by that. Can anyone honestly say after 8 years of a Tard-in-Chief that a bright guy like Obama as president isn’t appealing? If so, we’re more fucked than I thought.
[re=65372]snig[/re]: You’d think I’d know that, seeing as how I’m half-Canadian. But all my relatives live in houses. Because they are elitist Canadians, which might be the best oxymoron I’ve heard in a while.
My feeling on this is that the Dems need a more or less covert team of Karl Roves that they can deploy to mock everything that John McCain does and says. Sort of like us, I guess. But, you know, with more outreach.
[re=65368]econdave[/re]: Precisely. They have to wait on VP announcement. The Hopey team wants this story to stay fertile and take a firm root. The desperation response of McOuttatouch was proof of narrative gold: Hawaii, arugula, $4M… Time for some good ole American class distinctions. Really…. 7 houses or condos or whatever you want to call them, but more importantly than even having them: he could not recall he has them.
[re=65388]ProfessorJukes[/re]: yeah, but when the condo building needs a new roof, you and your fellow unit owners get the dreaded “special assessment”, which divides up the $150K roofing bill among the 20 owners. Yay.
[re=65345]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: *comforts* Don’t let it get to you. Despite doofus polls, scientific (math!) analysis shows Hopey rather far ahead of McCain, and will most likely win.
This is all part of the (hypothetical) fun and (theoretical) games. Also, Wonkette likes to be controversial to keep our interest, just like the rest of the MSM and blogosphere.
Why are you Satanists picking on John McCain? He was tortured. In the war. And it was painful. So he can own as many houses as he wants. He can also get as much pussy as his pecker can stand. Stop being jealous and go and get tortured yourself. Then you, too, can have these privileges.
[re=65366]Whiskeybaby[/re]: “And the craven assholes in the msm who are always desperate for some new drama to keep the election exciting will have enabled it.”
Correct. They used to call it yellow journalism in the late 19th C.

[re=65402]Aurelio[/re]: heeeey, was John Edwards tortured? Does he think he was? That might explain a lot.
I’m not sure if I’m just used to seeing Dems find a way to lose so I’m looking for how this will go downhill for Obama, or if there’s really a reason to be worried… If I thought people were rational I’d say there’s no way anyone could vote for Walnuts!, and yet…
[re=65385]NotNotLickingToads[/re]: I’m just a cougar looking for buttseks with a bitter who has trucknutz who hates Hopey and McCrapulent . . . Now get off my lawn!
I love this place. Really, truly, deeply.
Honey, I couldn’t buy a decent condo in Fairfield County, Connecticut for less than $300,000. So this whole “it’s a condo!” line is BO-FUCKING-GUS.

Igloos.
The Dems have alter the message from “change” to “we cannot afford more of the same.” And for some ironic zing: “it wouldn’t be prudent, not at this juncture.”
Rogers vowed to intensify efforts to link Obama to Rezko in the coming days.
“That’s fair game now,” he said. “You are going to see more of that now that this issue has been joined. You’ll see more of the Rezko matter from us.”
BAWAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

[re=65237]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: The difference between a condo and an apartment?
This a condo:

This is an apartment: http://tigger.uic.edu/~pbhales/fasi/riis_pedlar.jpg
[re=65388]ProfessorJukes[/re]: But in the New York end of the east coast, there are “apartments”, there are “condos”, and then there are “co-ops”. If you have an “apartment”, it means that you get to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a ridiculously small space, unless you have an “apartment” that is “rent stabilized” or “rent controlled”, in which case you get to spend next to nothing, cannot get kicked out, and get to torture your landlord until you die, unless your children get to inherit “your” apartment, in which case they can also torture the landlord, if he is still alive to torture. On the other hand, in a “co-op”, you get to pay a ridiculous amount of money to a mortgage company for the privilege of owning stock in a “corporation” that owns the building where “your” apartment is located, and you get to occupy “your” apartment providing you behave yourself and do not “piss off” someone on the “Board”. Finally, in a “condo”, you also get to pay a ridiculous amount of money but you actually “own” your apartment, and the “Board” cannot “fuck with you” as much. However, in a “condo”, you run the risk of living with rich Russians, Israelis, and other “undesirable foreigners”, so you may be better off in an “apartment”, especially if it is “rent stabilized” or “rent controlled”.

He has places in Coronado and La Jolla? Aren’t they a bit close together and near the naval base? Obviously they have a lot of sailor friends….not that there’s anything wrong with that, as The Seinfeld reminds us.
Just proves my point: Cindy is out of touch. A nattering effete hobnob. An impudent, pusillanimous pussy snob. Jes’ lookit how all her houses are in the blue zones, mostly. Even her Crystal Meth house is located smack dab in the middle of Rev. Tubbs Jones’ denomination.
Nary a red house nowhere to be scene.
Juan looks better and better ever’day. An average Joe sexpack…when he’s wearin’ his teeth and remembers his name.
Dump Cindy! Dump Cindy! Dump Cindy!
“A chair is still a chair, even when there’s no one sittin’ there
But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home
When there’s no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight”
And how is this a salient issue in the 2008 presidential race?
However, I give the DNC mad props for the gnome. Nice…
I have some French words with which to describe John “I don’t know how many houses I have” McCain.
Quel dick.
Merci beaucop. Je suis ici jusqu’au Vendredi. Bon soir.
Looks like the DNC will bring out the Keating 5 stuff, if they have to…
