BREAKING: Thurston Howell III Defends Sen. McCain’s 10 Homes

[Joanne98]

Plutocrat Thurston Howell III is defending longtime friend and presumptive GOP presidential nominee John McCain from criticism by “those dreadful, just dreadful one-at-a-time home owners.”

Reached by satellite-phone, Howell a scion of Newport, R.I. society and a 1932 graduate of Harvard College, said that he doesn’t even know how many homes he personally owns. “Counting homes is for the little people, those wage earners who tend to the bowling green on the estate.”

In 2006, Howell and wife Lovey were listed among Forbes Magazine’s Richest (Fictional) Characters. Recent claims that Virginia House Speaker Bill Howell is a family-relation have yet to be substantiated.

1. Robin Leach of the lifestyles of the filthy rich also defends McMansions

Robin Leach on the lifestyles of the rich and political -- John McCain
Robin Leach isn’t your usual political pundit. But the former champagne-toasting host of the TV hit of the mid-'80s to mid-'90s, "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," may be more qualified than most to opine on John McCain's now-infamous inability to remember how many homes he owns.

In an early morning phone call Friday from his fabulous crib in Las Vegas, Leach told The Times that he isn’t really surprised at McCain's odd memory lapse given the complex lives that the super-rich lead.

"He probably was confused as to which homes are in his name, his wife's name, or corporate names," Leach explained in his familiar, deep British baritone. "In his attempt to be honest, he put his foot in his mouth."

17. oh, look, professor! It's a plebeian! (wrinkled nose)

note to Lovey:

the Plebeians were Rome’s working class, the plebeians had little individual power. Grouped together, however, they became a Roman mob and had to be handled carefully.
