  I bring up McCain's involvement with Keating not necessarily for you older readers,but, for those of you to young to remember this criminal episode from John McCain's earlier years. This is just the beginning of the McCain saga as he has had his hands in the pockets of quite a few questionable companies and individuals, as you shall see as the election nears.
