Hitchens unloads on the left's idiotic obsession with McCain's wealth

I mention this mainly because Barack Obama has repeatedly advertised himself as a new type of candidate and as a stranger to the usual idiocy of the partisan cheap shot. Yet he and his chosen running mate have now made a series of demagogic references to the income and property, not just of their rival for the White House, but to that of his wife. Nice going. It didn’t even occur to them that John McCain might actually not know the full extent of his joint property and that this could conceivably have been for the decent reason that he didn’t care that much.
