“ABC’s George Stephanopoulos clearly had John McCain’s houses on his mind Sunday, for during the latest installment of “This Week,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s real estate holdings were discussed with every guest,” Noel Sheppard at NewsBusters reported August 24, 2008.
What Stephanopoulos may not have expected was Time’s Mark Halperin claiming that “this is going to end up being one of the worst moments in the entire campaign for one of the candidates, but it’s Barack Obama.”
Adding delicious insult to injury, much to Democrat strategist Donna Brazile’s dismay, Halperin saw the Obama campaign’s attack on McCain not knowing how many houses he owns as opening the door for the Arizona senator to bring up the Illinois senator’s connections to Tony Rezko, Reverend Wright, and William Ayers.
Sheppard included the following YouTube clip of the exchange, followed by a partial transcript.
And who is William Ayers by the way? Like George didn’t know.
