I covered this yesterday. Im still scratching my head over John McCain thinking that he can relate to everyday America when that is just one of his houses. And they call Obama an "elitist".

10 fireplaces in a desert home mean burning fireplace for romance -- while the air conditioning runs.

It should be confiscated and the money returned to the American people, as a small part of McCain paying back the nation for the deregulation disaster he helped bring about.

Hmmm, wonder why they are auctioning it instead of listing it on the market. Will be fun to see what it sells for.

There's probably a reserve price. It's a ploy so he can say he sold his mansion on eBay just like Palin sold that jet in Alaska on eBay too.

Well, then he won't own as many houses & he'll be able to claim that he's also suffering from the housing slump.

I don't have a problem with the 14.5 bathrooms, the house is huge, McCain is 72. He probably needs to make a few "pitstops" as he wanders aimlessly from wing to wing.

Isn't an extra second garage a third garage or in this case a 7th? An "extra second garage" is some elite bs.

well unless the one in the Louvre is a fake that is indeed a copy of the Mona Lisa in the bedroom. So,,,,a fake Oval Office and a fake Mona Lisa. Thats truly bizzarre. I think they may both disappear if he has regular oily injections in his bottom. But therapy takes several weeks to work, so the effect will not have cut in before the election. But does that matter....?

Yeah, I thought a Mona print in the midst of the Olive Garden themed furniture showroom was very odd. I don't think I've ever noticed anyone hanging a print of this unusual and most famous painting in so obvious a place...Not quite the same as the thousands of Renoir's 'Girl with a Watering Can' prints festooning western living rooms across the planet. I imagine the McCains like the Bush mater and pater are complete boors...Cindy likely just phoned 'Art by the Foot' at the mall, gave them the Olive Garden theme and let the store rip... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b46hplQx7_Q

Anyone check the tax, employment and immigration records of the staff that is needed to maintain a home of that size? I imagine there was at the least a full time housekeeping staff of two or three, a groundskeeper or two, and a chef. At a minimum. At least, thats what I would require...;)

Gosh, you're not trying to suggest that John and Cindy, or Cindy, or the Beerco would employ illegal aliens are you? Has anyone actually checked to see who actually owns all of these tasteless displays of conspicuous consumption? This may be Cindy's way of telling John if he doesn't win the White House, she not gonna buy him the Senate seat any longer.. She might have ideas of replacing him in general. Maybe if he was just another down-on-his-luck veteran living under a bridge he might finally be able to connect with real people and their real problems... you know John McSixpack so to speak.

I sure hope they aren't consolidating property, believing they will be moving to the White House. When people live such plush, shameless lives, why do they even want to win the presidency? Power, I know! No other reason!

I thought the plan was for McCain to lose, then set him up in a fake oval office so he wouldn't know. So why did they set up the fake oval office? Do they have 11 more?

I'm certainly not going to defend McCain's ten fireplaces, however, I will say that multiple fireplaces are an important feature in older desert homes. I have no idea how old McCain's place is though.
Most older desert homes have very little insulation and it gets damn cold in the Winter from time to time. This is the desert, not Florida. Fireplaces in those older homes are great.
Having said all that, I have nothing more to add other than McCain is an asshole.
