The British are obsessed with houses, and they do stinging criticism very well. And so it is not surprising that The Guardian has jumped on the McCain house story with some excellent snark.
Here's a taste, but I suggest you click through for the original, which includes photos:
In the kind of stupefyingly disastrous gaffe that the Obama campaign normally only fantasises about at the end of a working day, when they're down at the bar, knocking back pints of hope, John McCain has admitted that he doesn't know how many homes he owns. "I think -- I'll have my staff get to you," he told Politico. "It's condominiums where -- I'll have them get to you." Even though John McCain is so small that he could live without problems in a Ferragamo shoebox, he appears to own so many properties that he's lost count. So it's only fair and proper that we should help jog his memory.
If snark were an Olympic event, Team GB would be even higher up the medal table than they currently, surprisingly, are.
