In a confidential report submitted to the committee on Sept. 10, the special counsel, Robert S. Bennett, concluded that there was not adequate evidence to merit a full-scale investigation of John Glenn, an Ohio Democrat, and John McCain, an Arizona Republican, several officials said. . . . [/b]

Mr McCain was one of five senators - known as the Keating Five - to be investigated by a Senate ethics panel over their intervention with banking regulators on behalf of Keating.
 
 He was found to be less involved with Keating than the other senators but was criticised for "poor judgement".
 
 Mr McCain has himself described the affair as "the worst mistake of my life", and one which led him to sponsor legislation on campaign finance reform.  (source)
 
 on the upside, this may be one of the few times in recent memory that a republican leader admitted he was wrong, and did something to correct it.

i would not buy gold at this particular time. . .buy it when low and hold on to it for times like these.  however, campbells. . .that's a stock to hold on to.
 
 the link may be "too tenous" but mcardle goes on to state that there is something there to go after.  and, obama has not adequately explained his relationship with bill ayers, instead, he continues to obfuscate and dance around it.  but, you're right, i have no idea what, if any, real substantive role ayers played, but it sure seems like ayers was there a lot of the time.

Of course McCain regrets his association with Keating after getting BUSTED and having it blow up in his face.  And he's used that "greatest mistake of my life" line elsewhere - e.g. the failure of his first marriage following 43 year old McCain's affair with 25 year old debutante Cindy - who went on to bankroll his political career and life.  
 
 He'll REACT as politically necessary, but what are his natural instincts?  His instincts appear to be aligned with the rich - even if they are corrupt - unless it becomes politically necessary to act otherwise.

yet, as the L.A. Times notes "Obama displayed not just poor political judgment but a lack of moral imagination," which is what the media says everytime an unsavory character emerges from behind the obama charade. . .oh, and he's a white sox fan. . .i mean, come on.

the obama charade?  and after all of those intelligent LA Times quoting posts, you come to that?  he's probably even a white guy with a lot of makeup on too?
