    Here's the Web site for their Phoenix condo building.

  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    actually, it does...

    ever hear The Wet Spots "Do you take it?"

    nuff said.

    Here's more of the Phoenix house.

    Kind of weird.

    The picture of the bedroom shows some young guy jumping out of the window and Cindy looking guilty.
  • scottinsf · 1 year ago
    Well, it looks pretty ugly to me. What I've seen looks like a tacky Pottery Barn ad.

    What is up with the huge, flawless green lawn. For crying out loud, that house is in Arizona. Couldn't they plant some Saguaros or something?

    No wonder McCain wants to steal all of Colorado's water.
  • shrrrr · 1 year ago
    And, think about the carbon footprint behind all this consumption. Pig, indeed.
  • stranded · 1 year ago
    I live in Phoenix and we're constantly told via local government ads how precious our water resources are and how we need to be frugal and conserve every drop. I absolutely agree with that. Keeping a lawn green in the blistering Arizona sun is not only impractically bone-headed, it's taking water away from the basic needs of other people. I can't imagine a better example of where McCain's ethics lie. He's our SENATOR, for Jeebus' sake!
  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    Scott... makes me want to send him some of the cocktail napkins I bought at Babette Schwartz's.

    HA!!! oh Charlie...Charlie Crist!
  • scottinsf · 1 year ago
    ?
  • scottinsf · 1 year ago
    You speak the truth.

    Off to Manu Chao, scientologizms, Radiohead and all that at the other end of town. They haven't contacted me about the bear avatar yet so I suppose I'll have to pay full price ;-)
  • SarainKC · 1 year ago
    No wonder McCain wants to steal all of Colorado's water.

    You just inspired the Colorado Dems next ad! Seriously, we need to et this idea to them asap! They are already hopping mad and a picture of a lush green lawn with that caption would be the final straw!
  • hawkseye · 1 year ago
    In Las Vegas they spray-paint the lawns (or used to) in order to save on water bills.
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago
    Follow up question for POLITICO:

    Mr. McCain, How many pools do you have?

    LOL

    Please read the article...it is chuck full of one liners. I LOVE IT!

    Bling-Master too funny
  • jimfromthefoothills · 1 year ago
    Who is the VP???
  • AdrianBrowne · 1 year ago
    The McCain's employ a full time harpsichord tuner:

    http://www.architecturaldigest.com/homes/featur...
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Looks like the harpsichord is mainly there to hold up the pictures.

    (I'm sure somebody told Cindy that it's sophisticated to have a harpsichord in a drawing room, and she just had to have it. You can't expect too much from a Rodeo Queen.)
  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    most Rodeo Queens I know would rather have a leather sling in the bedroom than a harpsichord in the drawing room.

    oh, wait a minute... different kind of Rodeo Queen.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    LOL!
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    I still want to see the $1 million parking lot.

    http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/8/21/154038/932

    WTF?

    McCain has a parking lot that cost as much as Obama's home?
  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    yeah... but its a MANSION of a parking lot.
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago
    Someone should do a photshop:

    HOME SWEET HOMES
    <<<<<<McCain>>>>>
  • johnosahon · 1 year ago
    LOL

    Chickens are coming home to roast, But there is not enough ovens to put them in. LOL

    mccain has been complaining for attention, here sir is your PRIZE, you win ATTENTION.
  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    not enough ovens? no prob... cindy advises buying the place nextdoor and busting out a wall in the kitchen.

    not that she ever spends time in the kitchen... how many ovens DO they have anyway?? That'd take a lot longer for either of them to answer than the 'how many homes' question.

    new question for mccain... how many of the houses has Iseman visited?
  • sittenpretty · 1 year ago
    question the conventional wisdom...did all the POWs end up with champagne wishes and caviar dreams...cause they were entitled?
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    ...champagne wishes and caviar dreams

    LOL!

    Reminds me of K.O.'s show last night.

    They read some quote from the McCain staff, ripping Obama for eating some kind of "elitist" vegetable, and then they showed a clip of McCain with Keith intoning "and here's senator McCain eating a much more masculine dish of cous cous.")
  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    bushco better get the Big Oil Boys to lower gas prices right now, big time.
    McBling is gonna lose his ass if he tries to say anything about the economy....la la la la la!
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago
    McBling

    I LOVE IT !!
  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    i admit...i stole if from moreleesafer, i think it was

    isn't this a blast!!!
  • barts · 1 year ago
    Oh my God! I believe this story is taking a life of its own. I can't believe the media is having a field day with this and I'm loving every minute of it.

    I wonder what else Obama staff has up its sleeves to drop bombs like this once a week until November.
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    Whatever they do, they better keep this one alive and get all the mileage they can. This is making the old fart lool reeeeeeaaaaaaaaal bad.
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago
    I saw this on Daily kos:

    John McCain - The Leona Helmsley of American Politics.
  • hawkseye · 1 year ago
    Perfect!
  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    this was from yesterday, but it's so good...


    Get Off my Lawns!

  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    LOL!

    I'll have to remember that one.
  • chapstickmeg · 1 year ago
    I wonder, theoretically, how much it costs to keep a Secret Service security detail at each of McCain's innumerable houses.
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    Hey there chapstick! Excellent point. Keep this question flyin' high.

    Give us 4 more years of high gas prices, mortgage crisis and at least 100 more years of war in Iraq at $10 BILLION DOLLARS A MONTH
  • AdrianBrowne · 1 year ago
    from Think Progress:

    Flashback: McCain didn’t know what kind of car he drove.»

    "In our News interview, [McCain] was asked what kind of car he drove. As with Politico’s question about home ownership, he didn’t know and had to ask a nearby aide. “A Cadillac CTS,” she told him.'
  • NinaKatarina · 1 year ago
    But McMeghan has a Prius, and he has solar panels at one of the mansions, so he's Green! Green! Green! (cue Green Acres music)

    On second thought, I don't want to hear Cindy saying "Dahhhhling!"
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
  • phillybits · 1 year ago
    Notice the heading under the image?

    "New amenities include 'bio-metric fingerprint readers' that restrict access to residents."

    Will we see RedState-esque outrage, a la Donald Rumsfeld's house and his Lens in the Birdhouse as well as a subsequent hilarious smackdown?
  • larz · 1 year ago
    Here's a link to the 2005 Architectrual Digest tour of the Arizona home of McCain and his beautiful, drug addict, wife Cindy:

    http://www.architecturaldigest.com/homes/featur...

    Granted - from a cultural and fashion standpoint, it is stil 1983 in Arizona. Cindy, in her meth induced decorating frenzy, has made sure that every square inch of wall space, counter space, shelf space, piano space, is used regardless of how tacky, frightening, or just plain offensive the "artwork" is.
  • Mark in Florida · 1 year ago
    This could be McGAFFES credibility blunder. I love it. It won't go away....and the response from the McSame camp is so desparate, they sound like babbling fools..... It took them 2.1 seconds to invoke McCain's suffering in a prison camp when they heard about this.

    No matter how they are critized, the response is the same....well....blah blah blah, prison camp, blah blah. It's turning his service into a joke.

    .....and that response ad about Rezko, was not only a big lie, but too complicated and lame.
  • EvilPoet · 1 year ago

  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    HAR!
  • CaenAshlar · 1 year ago
    I’ve looked thru the video clips and photos. the house is surprisingly tackey – perhaps not so surprising. The same broker has a house for 16M $s. Far more stylish. Obviously rodeo queen Cindy did not study French Impressionism or Aesthetics. Should have gone to Smith with the silver teaspoon set.
  • Stevens · 1 year ago
    Robin Leach and the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous? Are you kidding me? Yet McCain calls Obama the celebrity? Bwaaaah!
