Simple Question, cont.

A reader writes:
I would say John Kerry, the richest person in Congress. The houses, cars, and
corporate jet you would add for McCain are not his according to the pre-nuptial
agreement. To be fair, the wealth of John Kerry probably is not his either.

Don't deflect. Kerry's not a candidate, and McCain called Obama an elitist.

And don't split hairs that they're not his assets because they are his wife's. He may not own them, but he certainly enjoys the lifestyle they provide. That makes him supremely elitist. And if he was so in touch with reality, he wouldn't have hesitated when asked how many houses he owns.

But if by calling Obama an "elitist" he meant Obama was fantastically educated, honorably idealistic, devoted to his wife and children, and disdainful of the Republican brand of gutter-level politics, he was right on the money.
