Who's the celebrity?

By Ron Beasley

Who's and elitist celebrity?  ABC's Jake Trapper gave us John McCain's qualifications yesterday.

Which presidential candidate hosted Saturday Night Live (hint -- the musical guests were The White Stripes)?

Which one had cameos on "24" and "Wedding Crashers"?

Whose wife secretly got her pilot's license and owns a jet?

Who is pals with Warren Beatty?

Whose daughter is friends with Heidi from MTV's The Hills?

Whose wife once told Vogue, explaining the purchase of a 7th or 8th house, this one a beach house, "When I bought the first one, my husband, who is not a beach person, said, 'Oh this is such a waste of money; the kids will never go. Then it got to the point where they used it so much I couldn't get in the place. So I bought another one.”

Whose family credit cards have been known to ring up more than $500,000 in charges in one month?

Just askin'…

Yesterday in the WSJ Karl Rove said that John McCain "is the most private person to run for president since Calvin Coolidge".  This was too much for even right winger Dean Barnnet of the Weekly Standard.

McCain’s a private person? Really?

You know how you can tell really private people? They spend 26 years in public life as a politician. They also do things like host Saturday Night Live where they sing Streisand tunes before a national TV audience.
