McCain: The Most Reprehensible of the Keating Five
An interesting 1989 article about McCain's role in the Keating Five scandal, published by his hometown folks at the Phoenix New Times News:

http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/1989-11-29/news/mccain-the-most-reprehensible-of-the-keating-five/1

Notable quote:

You won't let anyone forget that you were a prisoner of war. But you have played that tune too long. By now your constant reminders about your war record make you seem like a modern version of Arthur Miller's tragic failure Willy Loman.


Wow... The noun, verb, POW thing was getting old even back in 1989.

Another notable quote:

Keep saying that cynical newspaper people don't understand that every move you make has always been for the enrichment of Arizona . . .


He's been playing the unfair media card for decades, too.
