You're John McCain, a fallen hero who wanted to become president so desperately that you sold yourself to Charlie Keating, the wealthy con man who bears such an incredible resemblance to The Joker.
Obviously, Keating thought you could make it to the White House, too.
He poured $112,000 into your political campaigns. He became your friend. He threw fund raisers in your honor. He even made a sweet shopping-center investment deal for your wife, Cindy. Your father-in-law, Jim Hensley, was cut in on the deal, too.
Nothing was too good for you. Why not? Keating saw you as a prime investment that would pay off in the future.
[Snip]
So what if he gave you $112,000? Just keep smiling at the cameras and saying you did nothing wrong.
Maybe the voters will understand you took those tiring trips to Charlie's place in the Bahamas in their behalf. Certainly, they can understand you wanted to take your family along. A senator deserves to travel on private jets, removed from the awful crush of public transportation.
You sought out a master criminal like Keating and became his friend. Now you've discarded him. It shouldn't be surprising that you are now in the process of selling out your senatorial accomplices.
You're John McCain, clearly the guiltiest, most culpable and reprehensible of the Keating Five. But you know the power of television and you realize this is the only way you can possibly save your political career.

Works for me.
Better yet: “One and done”
“My TV will be off until its all over.”
Good idea.
” (the prime difference is that McCain didnt drown a girl)”
No, but McInsane did divorce a woman he considered too ugly even after she spent 5 years waiting on him to return from Vietnam and he was ugly.
If the media and public would take the time and energy to do a background check on McCain they might not spend any time praising this worthless person.
Those who survive will be the sociopaths who can tell a lie with the most sincere, straight face. You are especially adept at this.
Mark.
The media is having a fit because the flag over the White House isn’t at half staff. Well, it was at half staff for the preceding two days and under protocol, the flag is only flown at half staff for ONE day for a dead senator (exception: Obama had it at half for five days for Teddy Kennedy, maybe part of that was for Mary Jo).
I, for one, do not believe that “If you cant say something good about someone, its better not to say anything at all.”
Particularly in the case of John McCain!
John McCain was a dishonest, disreputable, self-serving, self-aggrandizing, skirt-chasing womanizing son of a bitch!
He was a liar, a cheat and a thief!
He was a rotten Naval Officer, a terrible pilot, a miserable Congressman and a total failure as a US Senator. He was a stain on the Body Politic!
I dont know how many times he took an oath to . . . support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. . . . over the course of his life, but he certainly did not pay any attention to it! He was an oath breaker! In many different ways and on many different occasions!
[Most of us who served in the military were and are “Oath Keepers!”]
There are rumors that Songbirds time in the Hanoi Hilton was tainted by treasonous behavior. Manchurian candidate, indeed!
We are VERY fortunate that he got his ass kicked every time he ran for President!
He will not be missed, and the USA is better off now that he has died!
We can only hope and pray that he is roasting in Hell!
I find it VERY DIFFICULT to understand why this noxious, venomous assholes sins have been forgotten so quickly!
I did not like John McCain! His behavior as a Naval Officer and as a “public servant” professionally and personally offended me greatly!
It REALLY offends me that people who know better insist on making him into a person that he most definitely was not! Those people who laud McCain will be on my personal shit list until the day I die!
Ill not hold my breath waiting for someone to write the true story exposing this mans perfidy and treason!
Thanks!
“John McCain was a dishonest, disreputable, self-serving, self-aggrandizing, skirt-chasing womanizing son of a bitch!”
“He was a liar, a cheat and a thief!”
That would be complimentary if he was a high ranking democrat....oh wait.
When he was murdered on his ranch east of Douglas, McCain said "OK, I'll build the darn fence".
He lied.
Bob Krentz died.
You can’t even say they are being respectful to the office.
Because McCain didn’t represent The People.
At least not the American people.
Words to reflect on:
Ezekiel 18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
My sentiments towards the late Senator from Arizona:
I respect him for his military service. I have the greatest respect for his service while imprisoned as a PoW.
As for his political career, the less said, the more charitable.
Does anybody remember reading the story about when a group of POW pilots wives came to ask for his help he threw them out of his office?
It was years ago that I read that but have never forgot it.
I did not remember Bob Krentz. Thanks for sending me the link to his Wikipedia article.
The fact that the border has not yet been closed is still VERY troubling!
I moved to San Diego in late 1965. Politicians were talking about illegal immigration and the need for a tight border then.
They are still TALKING about it now!
DISGRACEFUL!
Fortunately, President Trump IS doing something about it - he is both talking, tightening border security AND BUILDING A WALL!
With McStain finally out of the way, perhaps he’ll have some more success?
The “John McCain Border Security Wall?” </sarcasm>
“Because McCain didnt represent The People”
Most importantly, he didn’t represent Arizonans.
The ultimate carpetbagger. Everyone voted for him because of the POW thing - “the longest place I ever lived was in Hanoi”.
That was then. After that, he was a permanent resident of the District of Criminals. Arizona was just a flophouse he used to collect blondes and votes.
Great article - I worked with people who lost their life savings and homes because of the Keating 5 Bank Scandal. One guy had a mortgage on his retirement home thru Lincoln Savings and Loan. When the Bank went under, he lost everything. McCain never paid back a dime to anyone.
I've preached that for years (by tagline). Two three-year terms in the house, two five year terms in the senate, then back into the real world. No special pensions; make them provide for their own retirement as the rest of us have to do. And if they become wealthy while in office, require a full accounting of the source of the wealth when they leave office. You can't get rich on a $174k salary in a high cost-high tax environment like the DC area unless there is outside income.
