McCain's temper was key to the Keating scandal

Just in case anyone's forgotten this account...

]i]Keating asked McCain to pressure bank auditors not to enforce the law against Lincoln S&L. McCain told Keating he was uncomfortable strong-arming the nation's financial regulators. Keating taunted him, "McCain's a wimp." At 1:30, in his Senate office, McCain exploded into fury, "One thing I'm not is a coward." McCain screamed at Keating that he hadn't lived in a box for five years to have his courage questioned. McCain's aides were very surprised by McCain's tantrum and even Keating begged him to calm down.

McCain didn't back off. He shouted that he knew it was not appropriate for him to negotiate on Keating's behalf with regulators who were looking into the illegal activities at Lincoln Savings and Loan. Keating told McCain that he should not bother going to the meeting. McCain was still mad and replied, "No, I'm going to that meeting."

Later that day, Keating boasted that he "knew how to get McCain's attention."


I have no doubt that the Obama campaign has taken this to heart...

:shrug:

:think:

:rofl:

I like McKeating! Great idea.

Sounds like he almost has himself convinced.

Who else knew how to do it?

Geez. Can't you picture this scenario being playing over and over again in board room across this nation where the principles are always having to prove they have the longest dick?

He is clearly not stable and is reckless. Get ready folks it has to be coming, next time he will not utter "bulls**t" under his breath on Tuesday.
