McCain flap is reverse sexism

So I feel a need to speak out on a yet-unexpressed part of the flap over John McCain not knowing how many houses he owns.

(A problem that plagues many of us working class folks. I mean, I know I have two or three houses my wife doesn't know about, and I figure she does, too. Until the wills kick in, we'll never know. And it's hard to tell the condo in Malibu from the ones on Maui or St. Croix, since they're all on Ocean Drives.)

But really, we don't expect Giuliani's former mistress to know about his finances, even now that she's his wife. Spitzer pulled down a big salary, and I'll bet his girl toy didn't know more about him that his hotel room number.

And face it, rich guys have been marrying poorer women for years, and we never expect them to know much more than how to find their way back to one home. That's the definition of traditional marriage.

McCain's marriage is untraditional. Cindy makes the real money, pays the housing and airfare bills, and pretty much wears the pants. John McCain was the catch who dumped his old lady to take up with the richer prospect.

He's a kept man.

So yea, he's a senator, a part-time job which apparently take very little of his time. He didn't even show up to vote down the bill he opposed for more veterans' benefits. He's like the little lady who takes a part-time job at the boutique to keep herself busy.

We wouldn't expect her to know her family finances. To expect John McCain to know his is reverse discrimination. Or at least, a clear bias for kept men over kept women.
