"The reality is they have some investment properties and stuff. It's not as if he lives in ten houses. That's just not the case," Rogers said. "The reality is they have four that actually could be considered houses they could use."

Those four include an apartment in Arlington, a ranch in Sedona, and two condos, in California and Phoenix, he said. The others include "some investment properties and things like that."

He also added: "This is a guy who lived in one house for five and a half years -- in prison," referring to the prisoner of war camp that McCain was in during the Vietnam War.

That, and threats again about Rezco. Sheesh. They can only live in 4 of them. Tiny violins are playing.

1. Holy shit. THat pow pacifier is never far from him.

Every time they mention POW, we need to hammer PTSD.

[babylonsister]

2. How far do they think that POW b.s. will take them? I'm sorry, but he's

diminishing that experience imo by talking about it so frequently.

That's not the answer to everything, McBush. :eyes:

[ellacott]

3. But he was a POW, I guess that explains it

How inconsiderate of me not to consider that.:banghead: :sarcasm:

[malaise]

4. As another DUer wrote

noun, verb, POW! :puke:

[elehhhhna]

5. I forgot that all the POW's got several houses to make up for their suffering.

[Iggo]

6. POW? Jeez...

...that was like 45 years ago.

[sharesunited]

7. The houses were paid for by peddling poisonous alcohol.

How many lives have been ruined or lost by Cindy McCain's family's beer distributorship?

[niyad]

8. this is sickening. his status as a pow is supposedly sacrosanct, but he can use it as an excuse

for everything? forget that nonsense.

wahhhhhhhhh.

[CatWoman]

9. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Solly Mack]

10. Pathetic. He's the one turning his time as a POW into caricature

and if that time meant anything at all to him he wouldn't do that. I've lived too long around soldiers and though they will make self-deprecating remarks and use a lot of bitter humor about their experiences...they don't turn them into caricatures.

17. Self-deprecating? You have to earn that.

McCain didn't earn anything. Loafed and partied through four years at the Academy, crashed a few planes and still maintained flight status (it helps to have a father who's an Admiral).

Doting admirer: "McCain, I hear you downed five planes!"

McCain: "Nada, rien, it was nothing. Anyone could have done that" (probably not a McCain answer)

[ShenandoahAspen]

11. But I thought...

McCain didn't like bringing up his POW experience..? :shrug:
Funny how he seems to bring it up at every turn..

[Vickers]

12. How in the FUCK does he manage with only 4 houses in 3 different states?

:shrug:

Jesus Christ, people, the man is a former POW!!!*

:mad:









*although he is much too modest to ever mention this

[NYC Liberal]

13. McPOW has nothing but that to go on.

"But I was a POW 30+ years ago! Nevermind the fact that I have 10 houses NOW, I was a POW!"

[mitchum]

14. Petulant Old Wanker

[fishwax]

15. that's pathetic

:nopity:

And hilarious!

:rofl:

[gatorboy]

16. So did he really take a dramatic pause before he said "in prison"?

I'd love to see that!
