Ok Kenneth, let talk about Keating... In February 1991, the Senate Ethics Committee found McCain and Glenn to be the least blameworthy of the five senators. (McCain and Glenn attended the meetings but did nothing else to influence the regulators.) McCain was guilty of nothing more than "poor judgment," the committee said, and declared his actions were not "improper nor attended with gross negligence." McCain considered the committee's judgment to be "full exoneration," and he contributed $112,000 (the amount raised for him by Keating) to the U.S. Treasury. slate.com End of story...should we go back to discussing REAL issues? Thanks for playing, we have some nice parting gifts for you. Johnny, let's tell Kenneth what he has won...:) Diz-

As long as the Keating episode was not pure politics on the part of congressional Dems, it's fair game for debate during the upcoming general campaign. Democrats often spend taxpayer revenue on expensive congressional hearings as an adjunct to their re-election campaigns.
