McCain's 10 houses -- more

Apropos my post this morning and my mention of McCain's multiple homes: I see that my friend Robert Greenwald of Brave New Films has made a video, in conjunction with leading unions, on exactly this subject. It's about four minutes and well worth a look.

So it is getting out there. But here's the thing: No actual Democrats are pushing this meme; just unions and a filmmaker. If the Obamas owned 10 homes, you can be sure that several Republican House members would make themselves willing to go on cable and drive the point home. But unless things have really changed, Democrats won't touch this.

By the way: The main McCain abode is apparently a condo in Phoenix worth $4.66 million. How on earth could a person even contrive to spend that much on a condo in Phoenix? Well, here's one building offering a three-bedroom, four-bath, 4,268 square-foot unit for $4.199 million. Take a gander at these pictures and to get an idea of how the McCains might live. Why they're just like you and me.
