From the Annals of Regular Guy-dom

FROM THE ANNALS OF REGULAR GUY-DOM....The McCain family owns 13 cars, including "three 2000 NEV Gem electric vehicles, which are bubble-shaped cars popular in retirement communities." Mostly in Cindy's name, of course. Don't you wish you owned three bubble-shaped electric scooters?

I'm so elite that my wife and I share 1 car and only rent 1 apartment.

Could we get a picture of McSame in one or all of these vehicles, and make them look a lot like the Mondale in a tank photo?

The wheels are coming off of his campaign but the kool-aid consumers refuse the antidote.

like the Mondale in a tank photo?

That was Dukakis in the "infamous" tank photo oh puzzled one

Well no wonder he had to ask a staff member for the answer, when he was asked what kind of car he drives.

We could always photoshop him into one, with the tank helmet on. Call it the new bulletproof armor plated Bond model.

If you click on the link you can read the newsweek article. The Obama's own one vehicle...They walk the walk and talk the talk.

The number of vehicles maintained the Arizona Mc Cains does not matter, since John Mc Cain a/k/a Johnny Walnuts, cannot drive. Due to injury sustained during FIVE & AN HALF YEARS, ALAN COLMES, FIE & AN HALF YEARS, in a Viet Namese prisoner of war facility, he cannot acceptably operate the steering-column. So, problem solved. Not that there ever was a polemic in Cindy's car ownership. She's not running for President.

... & oh, yeah, Michelle Obama -- who is also not running for President -- has never been proud(er) of her country. Chew on that, 'Merica. Do we want that attitude of antichauvinism in the White House? Or do we want John Mc Cain, bankrolled by money from America's leading beer -- AMERICA! BUDWEISER! -- in the White House?

No. But I do want an incredibly wealthy wife who doesn't care how I treat her. I wouldn't want to treat her badly, mind you, but everyone makes mistakes and imagine how adoring Cindy would be to a husband who only rarely and accidentally treated her badly?

They own three GOLF CARTS? Popular at retirement communities? Like the one he was riding in with Bush, Sr.?

John McCain - he owns more golf carts than you own cars (and he owns more cars than your whole family).

So, it's not that they live in a bubble, it's that they drive in one.

while we're talking about the cars, what about the $273,000 McCain pays for household help? that one seemed to have slipped right by, but it just resurfaced in these video spots:

hilarious.

Here at the Michigan GM plant where I work, everyone is agog about the Honda and VW the McCains own, and the Prius his daughter owns (and which Daddy may or may not have purchased for her).

Silly, knee-jerk protectionism it may be, but I'm hoping this might be one issue that cuts into the otherwise solid McCain support I'm seeing among my (white) coworkers here.

McCain and Me.

We relate. [fist pump]
