Cindy McCain ‘Unsure’ How Many Half-sisters She Has
Says Staff Member Will Handle Sibling Tally

Presumptive first lady nominee Cindy McCain responded to a reporter's
question today about how many half-sisters she had by saying that she
was "unsure" about the exact number but would have "a staff member look
into it."

Ms. McCain's claims of being an only child were clouded this week by
revelations that she has at least two heretofore unmentioned
half-sisters, leading to reporters' queries as to whether more
undisclosed half-siblings were waiting in the wings.

When a reporter from the Toledo Blade asked Mrs. McCain at a campaign
stop in Ohio about how many half-sisters she had, she looked momentarily
startled by the question before handing it off to a staff member.

Mrs. McCain's uncertainty about the precise tally of her siblings,
coming on the heels of her husband's confusion about the number of the
couples' homes, might not be as big a problem for the McCain campaign as
some might expect, says Davis Logsdon, professor of economics at the
University of Minnesota.

"As long as the couple has more homes than half-sisters, they could
easily house one of the half-sisters in each of the residences and keep
them happy," Dr. Logsdon says. "However, if the number of half-sisters
grows faster than the number of homes, that could potentially lead to
crowding."

For his part, Sen. McCain said that the campaign would provide a
"guesstimate" of how many half-sisters and homes the couple has by the
end of next week: "Right now, we're trying to put it all on a spreadsheet."

From Andy Borowitz.

BTW, the question and answer regarding the half-sisters was legit.

I wonder what the McCain's *do* remember.

They could house them for $12 a year in Africa.
