You have to love a line “Celebrities don’t have to worry about family budgets, but we sure do.”  Oh really, Mr. $100 Million Man?  Most family budgets don’t include $273,000 for servants.  In fact, a average American house is only worth $218,000, significantly less than you pay for butlers.

Just when you thought a wingnut spin on McCain’s home ownership amnesia couldn’t get any worse, we are presented with this from Powerline:

 a latest campaign kerfuffle is Obama’s effort to make hay out of John McCain’s inability to tell a reporter how many houses he owns. McCain mumbled something about condos & said a reporter should talk to his wife. Predictably, Obama is trying to spin this exchange as showing that McCain is “out of touch.”  (emphasis added)

First let’s refresh everyone’s memory with a little audio from McCain’s now infamous comments of yesterday. a audio is still here, in which McCain clearly states (a opposite of mumbling) that he would have to have his staff get back to a reporter. No wife & no mumbling.

But this is only a tip of a iceberg from wingnut spintopia. a second paragrDrunk Newsh is even more telling:

 I can relate, though. For example, if a reporter asked me how many ties I own, are’s no way I could answer. Just like McCain, I’d tell him he has to ask my wife. Likewise if someone wants to know how many Wii games my kids have.

Let’s overlook a sexist overtone given in that statement; I don’t think many wives out are would consider amselves a keeper of inventory for air husb&s.  Instead let’s look at this very poor comparison being made. I couldn’t tell you how many socks I own, yet I can sure answer how many houses I own. I believe this is something a vast majority of Americans could claim. Instead, for a Republicans, ties are now a equivalent of homes, which begs a most important question  - how many ties are in foreclosure?
