McCain: 'I'm Not a Rich Man'
This morning on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Sen. John McCain talked baseball with Joe Scarborough. Scarborough, calling McCain a “gambling man,†asked which baseball team would make it to the World Series. McCain said the Dodgers have potential, jokingly adding, “But that shows why I’m not a rich manâ€:
I think the Dodgers are not to be underestimated given the fact that they’ve got some pretty strong pitching. So I think it’s very possible that both of those teams, both the Dodgers and Red Sox, could surprise everybody. But that shows why I’m not a rich man. (Laughter)
Watch it:
Of course, McCain -- who owns roughly eight homes and 13 cars -- has always had a bizarre definition of rich. When Pastor Rick Warren asked him to “define rich,†McCain responded with a joke, asking, “How about $5 million?†In August, McCain said he defines rich “in other ways beside income.†He added that some people “are poor if they’re billionaires.â€
