The Democratic presidential candidate:

“Somebody asked John McCain, ‘How many houses do you have?’ and he said, ‘I’m not sure, I’ll have to check with my staff,’…True quote. ‘I’m not sure, I’ll have to check with my staff.’ So they asked his staff and he said, ‘At least four.’… Now think about that — I guess if you think that being rich means you gotta make $5 million, and if you don’t know how many houses you have, then it’s not surprising that you might think the economy is fundamentally strong…But if you’re like me and you’ve got one house — or you were like the millions of people who are struggling right now to keep up with their mortgage so that they don’t lose their home — you might have a different perspective.”

Question: is one of Senator McCain’s homes a six by nine foot shack in a shanty town, situated behind a “jagged fence built from scraps of timber and rusted bits of corrugated metal.” (Better get Tony Rezko [see point #7] on the case.)
