Yes, it's true. John McCain does not know how many homes he and Cindy own.
But that's only the beginning.
I have obtained a complete transcript of the Politico interview with McCain. In it, McCain is also unable to answer a number of relevant, simple questions posed by Politico reporters Jonathan Martin and Mike Allen.
Read, below, for the complete, albeit brief, transcript...
Q: Senator McCain, how many homes do you and Cindy own currently?
A: I think — I'll have my staff get to you. It's condominiums where — I'll have them get to you.
Q: Well, what's your current address?
A: Um... It's a red brick house... It's got trees and--
Q: Your phone number?
A: I know it... I do... It's on the tip of my tongue...
Q: Shoe size?
A: Look, I'm wearing tie shoes today and if I untie them, Cindy will have to help me put them back on. Can I tell you later?
Q: How many children do you have?
A: I'm not sure, but I know Cindy brought a couple more back from Asia or Africa after Mother Teresa asked her to do so.
Q: From which state are you a United States senator?
A: Don't tell me. It's in the southwest...
Q: Middle name?
A: (Checking waistband of underwear) Damn! I TOLD her to write that in there!
Q: Today's date?
A: QUIT TRYING TO STUMP ME!!!!! Interview's over!!!
Martin and Allen have promised to release this full transcript, but I don't trust them so I'm publishing it here first at Daily Kos.
