Idiot Lefties And America's Lurch Into Socialism

The idiot crooks and liars at Crooks and Liars seem to have missed the exoneration of Senator John McCain in the Keating Five Scandal.

Allow me to quote (emphasis added) from the New York Times (the very liberal paper of Gotham):

The cloud of scandal did not lift until Nov. 20, 1991, when he was exonerated by the Senate Ethics Committee after an investigation that included weeks of televised hearings. The committee found that Mr. McCain had ''exercised poor judgment'' in attending, with four other senators, two meetings with federal banking regulators, but it found no improper action on his part.

''I found nothing in my investigation which caused me to question Senator McCain's integrity,'' said Robert Bennett, the Washington lawyer who was special counsel to the ethics panel during what is called the Keating Five investigation. Mr. Bennett, more recently, has been one of President Clinton's lawyers.

Senator McCain had taken $112,000 in Keating-related campaign donations, trips aboard Mr. Keating's corporate jet and family vacations at the executive's Bahamas hideaway. While legal, these gifts made his attendance at the meetings with federal regulators all the more questionable. (The other four senators had also taken large contributions from Mr. Keating, some of them far more than Mr. McCain.)

He survived and was re-elected easily in 1992 and again, with almost 70 percent of his state's vote, in 1998. Three other members of the Keating Five were more seriously rebuked by the ethics panel and all of them retired rather than face difficult re-election battles. John Glenn of Ohio, who was exonerated with Mr. McCain, was also re-elected in 1992, but retired in 1998.

Commentary

The children of Crooks and Liars would be well-advised to consider why Democrats in Congress are not calling for Congressional Hearings and Special Prosecutors in the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac financial disasters?

I will tell them why...because the blame for this lies squarely at the door of far more democrats than Republicans, and several of those Democrats are well-connected with the Obama Presidential Campaign. [1] [2]

Perhaps the best place to start learning about this problem, and who is responsible, is The Great One, Mark Levin. I have downoaded and posted the audio of last Friday's show:

Mark Levin is one of my favorite radio hosts, and I listen to his show every evening.

You can download show audio (or subscribe to his podcast or iTunes) every day and listen to it.

In my opinion, there is no other person in America who is on top of this situation as thoroughly and eloquently as Mark Levin.
