A story in the Guardian cuts straight to the point regarding “Kerryopoly”:
Players begin with just $40,000 in Kerryopoly money, the average national household income. “After a few trips around the board, most players will be millions of dollars in debt, proving that John Kerry’s lifestyle is out of reach and out of sync with most Americans,” RNC communications director Jim Dyke said in a statement.
Three leading Republicans in the federal government – President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee – are multimillionaires. Asked Tuesday if their lifestyles also were out of reach of most Americans, RNC spokeswoman Christine Iverson responded “no” but declined to elaborate.
Of course not. Most people own ball teams, don’t they?
