Remember the Keating Five?

I thought so.


Carry on then....

Considering Keating was a Californian, I remember some stuff about it. :)

I knew it!

You would think it involved the Palen 5 these days here at DU?

And maybe that astronaut guy?

McCain and Keating had become personal friends following their initial contacts in 1981.<8> Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in political contributions from Keating and his associates.<14> In addition, McCain's wife Cindy McCain and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard Keating's jet. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating's opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain did not pay Keating (in the amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken, when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln.<6><15>

great sounds from a great time

I'll bet they have singles on 45s too.

Don't make a bit of difference if we remember them....well maybe a bit, if we remind people about it.

i heard a radio RWer saying frank keating had actually been contacted about a VP spot
dont know if itys true
but as ron simmons would say


"Damn!"

I wonder how long it will take before someone asks the right questions? I would think any inquiries might set McGoo off...which we're all waiting to see happen, right?

and is that why maybe the Democratic leadership doesn't make more noise about the scandal.

Imagine what the Democrats would say if John McCain had been in the Keating Five 20 years ago.

Wait a minute.

Hey, why aren't the Democrats being as aggressive as the Republicans would if the shoe was on the other foot?

Answer: Because the Democrats want to lose. They're losers.

I'm tired of waiting for the Democrats to ever fight back, ever wake up, ever wise-up.

then this would be the ultimate piss off for me. All this quality stuff against McCain-Palin (truckloads) and never used is just silly. The campaign has begun now that the conventions have finished...now we shall see where those hundreds of millions to Obama's campaign is going.

I have a lot of faith in Obama et al! They always surprise me.

I thought I'd read recently that McCain's son was involved in a scandal similar to his own.

DNC - perhaps this should be out on the airwaves?????

I do not care to put in the Oval Office someone who was in the middle of that scandal.

McBush showed 'bad judgment'. Where are the ads??

How much money did Grandpa cost the US Taxpayers?
