That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw that.

Like the kid next door who, when I left the townhouse I'd bought 2 months earlier with the intention of renting it out to my brother, and sat down inside of a 1988 Ford Mustang 5.0 in desparate need of a paint job, asked me: "Do you work for the Homeowner's Association?".

You should've seen his jaw fall when I said, "No, actually, I own this house".

Inconceivable to that kid that someone who has the money to buy a townhouse would drive around in a then 14-year-old car needing a paintjob.

To some people, image is everything.

Why didn't any of you remember the comment about sitting around their swimming pools during the first debate. I still have a chill up my spine from that comment.
