Buy One of John McCain’s Unwanted Mansions, For $12 Million!

by Ken Layne  10:50 am October 1, 2008

Hey, this is not technically a mansion!
Got $12 million burning a hole in your pockets? Need a new mansion in Arizona? How about this little place, one of John and Cindy McCain’s unwanted castles?

It’s a 5,000+ square foot estate with nine bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a seven-car garage, an entire extra gourmet chef’s kitchen out by the swimming pools, a 1,750-square-foot guest house, and it’s all on 2.7 gated acres. Remember, you’re middle-class if you make up to $5 million a year, so following the old rule about buying a house — the purchase price should be no more than three times your gross annual income — you can easily afford $12 million. But go ahead and offer $7.5 million, because the real-estate market in Phoenix is wrecked. [Phoenix Real Estate/Phoenix New Times/RealEstate.com]

Nice pool. Judging from McCain’s complexion he never uses it.

You could make a scathing 527 commercial out of this:
1. Show footage of WALNUTS! many homes; then provide a tour of this property
2. Intercut it with interviews of homeless American families ravaged by the housing bubble; Show some cute white children eating food out of trashcans, or sleeping on the sidewalk next to junkies
3. V.O. “John McCain supports a tax cut for the wealthiest 1% of Americans”
4. Play sound bite of “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” on a loop
5. Mournful folk music runs in background throughout
6. Post on YouTube
7. Profit

Nice place, but I’m not really crazy about the Tiger Cage in the basement. Cindy was willing to add it to the price of the house for $50 bucks. I was more interested in the well stocked in-house pharmacy, but she said that she was taking it with her for sentimental reasons.

Piece of crap house: at least one of the bedrooms has to SHARE a bath. Actually more than one does because there needs to be a bath unconnected to a bedroom for guests who don’t rate a sleep over, and for servants, and serfs. That is a travesty. They should knock off $3M just for that egregious lack of amenities.

But the neighborhood kids are excited at the prospect of the new owner returning their poorly thrown frisbees and baseballs, so there’s that.

I think I’m ready to bid. Just lined up an adjustable rate, negative amortization, interest-only loan with a teaser rate and no credit check. My buddy Al who works at H&R Block says he can securitize the whole thing and, through a combination of derivitives, shorts, and credit swaps, I’ll have the cash by Friday. Party at my new Arizona place on Saturday!

Gonna have to get the bedroom cleaned to Kosher standards though. That whole naked comment above spooked me.

Doglessliberal October 1, 2008 at 11:08 am

they list these amenities:

“5+ Bedrooms, Single-Family, Energy Efficient (Green), Multi-Zone HVAC, Multi-Pane Windows, Guest House, Health Facilities, Sauna, Pool, Private Pool, Corner Lot, Gated, RV Park, Spa, Private Spa, Mature Home, Furnished, Luxury”

Health facilities? So you can buy this if you are old and about to keel over and they have abulances on the ready in the development to come cart you away. And it is a gated community and has an RV park, so bigoted old people with mobile homes are welcome.

And “mature home”? It was built in 1951. What does that make McCain? (Ancient)

As Felipe Calderon rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It’s Arizona. It’s just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Mexico, because they are right there, they are right next to our state.

Normally I would say that the less gov’t we have, the better.

But there’s nothing normal about the United States after eight years of George Bush.

I’d say we need gov’t now more than Ever to help us rebuild from within after suffering through Bush’s personal pet projects.

We have been broken by our current president, and now McCain promises a total hands-off approach so our country can fall even flatter? Sure we as individuals can do anything we want, but aren’t we all supposed to be in this together, and aren’t we all pooling part of our paychecks to the gov’t?

I say thanks, but no thanks to hands off gov’t, at least for now, at least until we can pick up the pieces from a horrendous eight years, focus, and reunite.

[re=116629]slomojoe[/re]: It’s all about location. 2400 sq. ft. on 3 acres in downstate Illinois = $4,000 in taxes. And we’re not in BFE either – right outside C-U and the U of I.

slomojoe October 1, 2008 at 12:13 pm

[re=116658]anabellum[/re]: That makes sense. It would have been insane for McCain to have this on sale during the election, and let the media in. Of course, all other indications are that McCain IS in fact insane, so it’s still a wash in that respect.

[re=116630]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: No, they water the lawn from the tears of kittens just before they kill them. It’s true, you can look it up just like Walnuts’ claim that Obama supported a bill that would promote fellating all preschoolers, even the girls. He said that again today or yesterday to the Des Moines Register editorial board

No amount of money will purge the old man smell from that house. That’s why they’ve reduced the price.

[re=116687]madtowngooner[/re]:

Now, now… the bill clearly only supported the age-appropriate fellating of pre-schoolers. Brit Hume made that point the other day just to emphasize how fair and balanced Fox News is, and how they were in no way in the tank for McCain.

WALNUTS is a MAVERICK against good taste.

natoslug October 1, 2008 at 12:26 pm

If anyone’s got a spare $1.10 and is willing to split the deed with me, I’m willing to offer $5.50 for the house. You can take the guest house and cover the lawn expenses. I’ll pay for the pool upkeep and the meth and condoms in the party room.

Lascauxcaveman October 1, 2008 at 12:27 pm

*Only* 2.7 acres? Hell, my place is an estate of 5 acres covered by lush cedars, stately maples and whispering alder trees.

Of course the 2 bd 1 bath tin shed I actually live could fit comfortable in Johnny’s garage with plenty of space for a Hummer and my old crapbox Camry…

But I got more trees than McCain, anyway.

OH MY GOD that palace is hideous! It has “Cindy” written all over it…broke-down, unhappy, wanna-be Louis Quatorze…i can see her scanning all those nasty rugs (gifts from lobbyists obviously) for any pill to take her far, far away from WALNUTS! and his smelly diapers…

kdaddy October 1, 2008 at 12:30 pm

8 bathrooms are still not enough to contain all the bullshit that emanates from John McCain.

Wow, those VP briefing books must be costing a lot more than the McCcampaign budgeted for. Do they all have custom-shot moose hide bindings?

OMG! There’s a CNN video tour of the place! http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/09/30/dnt.mccain.house.for.sale.ktvx

I think I love the reporter. “An air-conditioned playhouse for the kids? It’s bigger than my apartment.”

Deepthroat October 1, 2008 at 1:07 pm

It listed the cooling system for the house as “refrigeration”. His whole fucking house is a cryogenic chamber that he must retreat to for at least 12 hours a day to keep him walking and upright!

By the way, it looks like the pool area is paved with lapis lazuli. That may be why McCain decided we have to pay attention to Afghanistan after all. If Cindy’s decorator changes his mind and chooses to re-tile with terra cotta while McCain’s in office, we’ll invade Tuscany.

TeddyS October 1, 2008 at 1:22 pm

Another image that proves John McCain can connect with the average American. “Vets know me. They know I’ll take care of them. I’ll put them in one of my garages.”

Any guesses as to what kinda of car is in the background of the garage shot?
I think Mercedes, which means McCain bought foriegn which is NOT ch-ch-change we cna believe in.

Outstando October 1, 2008 at 1:56 pm

[re=116542]Truculent[/re]: Totally. The thing to do is get an desperate mortgage company to give you an option arm, then buy a credit default swap on your own mortgage. That way when you go belly up after one month, you get all the cash and can buy a nice place in Manhattan or SF.

Outstando October 1, 2008 at 2:06 pm

Ken, this was very artfully done. I applaud you.

Jamie Sommers October 1, 2008 at 2:37 pm

[re=116831]Grumpyshoes[/re]: Not really. That’s how much the McCains sold the house for two years ago. Now the 2006 buyers are trying to use McCain’s name to make a tidy profit in the midst of a shitty housing market.

Tony K. October 1, 2008 at 3:05 pm

I like McCain, but the Arizona sun should be the last place he should be basking his face in unless there’s such a thing as sunblock SPF 1 trillion. My advice is to move to(or spend most of your time in) states like Washington, Oregon, Wisconsin or Maine.

gliberal October 1, 2008 at 3:08 pm

Dr. Spaceman October 1, 2008 at 3:36 pm

I grew up in a house a mile from this house. Our house was much smaller, and not gated. But everytime we drove by, my mom said McCain lives here. Of course, that was back when she would vote for the guy.

“People come and go; five move here, three leave. Our static population may be one of the reasons that planned and gated neighborhoods are in demand.” If five move there and three leave, the population is increasing at the astounding rate of 40 percent — which of course prompts the conclusion of “static population.” Yet in Bush League America, this kind of writing passes for common sense. Can someone make enough to afford a $12 million house and not comprehend the stupidity of this statement? Perhaps it’s the old used car dealer trick of trying to appear deranged so the consumer thinks he has a bargaining advantage. (are these the two ugliest expensive bedrooms in America? Methinks.)
