then why mock someone – in our own voice – for a deviation from reactionary gender roles?

i think this is a tough one, not trying to say there is an easy answer – but i do think this deserves some thought because i see us unthinkingly accepting and amplifying a right wing frame wrt gender roles (and issues wrt $).

I’ve been a bit puzzled by the methods used to find out how many houses McC owns. When the newsmen/women seemed puzzled about how many were on a single property because the picture was blurry, I wondered if they knew about assessor roles which lists the number of structures. I also wonder if all of their holdings are in the trust, or the family trust, or are traceable by their own names. Anyone who knows real estate knows that there are any number of ways to hold real estate if you don’t want it to be easily traced back to you. Just put it in a corporate or partnership name, for instance, as the McShames did with a nearby property to their “ranch” (which is not, technically, a ranch. It’s more of an estate, I think.) The property is held under the name “Sedona Hidden Valley Limited Partnership.” I took a brief peek, and I found five different entities that Cindy McCain is affiliated with in one way or another. Included was “Dream Catcher Family LLC” and “Western Leasing Company Limited Partnership.” I’m fairly sure there are others, but one would have to take more time than I’m willing to devote to finding them, and then you can’t be sure you’ve got them all.

then how about this fictitious one:

and if the republicans openly espoused the ideals of the KKK, would we mock mccain if he had married a black woman?
