Grampy McClone a "trophy" husband

McCain Suck-up Watch

Head over to the sponsors {see below} and check out this chart, "Comparing Their Wealth," that Wolf Blitzer ran on The Situation Room. It shows, in bar graph form, the income of all the presidential candidates, along with [Preznit Privilege] and [evil cyborg Dick "dick"] Cheney. Each candidate or official is shown with a picture of his or her spouse -- and the income total includes both people, which is especially notable in the case of the Clintons, because it increases the figure dramatically.

Humbly sitting at the very end of the chart, with the lowest income, is Senator McCain. He looks lonely -- his wife, Cindy, who incidentally is worth $100 million, isn't pictured. Nor is her income added to the total. Well done, Wolf! Incidentally, one wonders where his CNN salary would appear on that chart ...

You really have to look at someone's ASSETS as well as their income (and debts) to get a true idea of an individual's overall wealth position. Rich people often spend large amounts of money (especially the greedy ones) to pay people to figure out how to reduce their tax burden, and they sure don't want a large income to stick out if they can avoid it...

Factor in McCain's 8 houses and the results might appear slightly different, oui?

Once again, a mainstream media outlet says to John McCain;
"DONUTS!"
