Yes, Senator McCain, we know you were a POW and we all honor your sacrifice and courage in the face of that horrible experience.  However, being a POW is not, and should not, be the answer to every question you don’t like.

I guess I’m of two minds about how many houses John McCain owns.  On the one hand, it’s just stupid.  Who cares how many homes John McCain, or more accurately Cindy McCain, owns?  It’s not as if Barak Obama is middle class.  On the other, I have to agree with Paul Krugman: it is an issue that can be used against McCain, who is trying to paint himself as this everyman while Senator Obama is a puffed up elitist.
