She must dearly want to be First Lady. Otherwise I expect she'd have kicked him to the curb long ago. McCain must loathe being indebted to his wife for his current career.

Plumbing, electrical wiring, roofing, window replacement and other assorted household chores? Keep ‘em at home, barefoot and pregnant and roofing the garage? Is that what he means? Does McSenile realize that behind every CEO there’s a female executive and/or private secretary and they are completely lost without one? Nah. Guess you wouldn’t know that if your millionaire wife takes care of the finances and only allows you a $50,000 bank account. She may not know how many houses she owns but I guarantee you she knows about every transaction that occurs on that particular bank account. “They need the education and training, particularly since more and more women are heads of their households.
