John McCain's Keating Five Problem In 97 Seconds (VIDEO)
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Here's a new video taking a look at John McCain's Keating Five problem in just 97 seconds.
The video combines archival footage of CBS and NBC News (including a report from Andrea Mitchell!) with reporting by CNN's John King aired just last month.
The bottom-line is that two decades after his role in the savings and loan crisis, John McCain is still the same old guy, more focused on deregulation than on delivering the sensible protections we need.

Did McCain's Keating Five Corruption And Savings And Loan Bailout Lead Directly To His Involvement In The Current Wall Street Meltdown?
DownWithTyranny! —
With McCain's voting record and his relentless activities on behalf of ideology-driven deregulation, as chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, coming into focus because of the Wall Street meltdown and his confused and confusing answers about his culpability, it is probably a good time to go back into McCain's sordid history of corruption and pull back the carefully tacked up curtains of the Keating Five Scandal. As we mentioned yesterday, the only lessons McCain seems to have learned from a near-death experience with that first scandal, was covering his tracks more carefully and using a media hype machine to paint himself as a ...

Viggo Mortensen : "Unsurprising economic meltdown, and hope for the future"
culturekitchen - fresh dissent served daily —
My (imaginary) boyfriend has a few things to say about the craziness on Wall Street :
Steal from the poor and give to the rich: this is the policy that we have in recent days seen the U.S. Government unhesitatingly and irresponsibly sanction by bailing out the big gamblers and law-breakers with tax-payer money. At least now this short-sighted and destructive approach to governance is undeniably out in the open.
We saw this happen in the 1980s with the savings and loan scandal and bail-outs, and we are seeing now, as we saw then, people like John McCain, Phil Gramm and the usual assortment of corporate pirates get off ...
McCain's Keating Five problem - this is a must see
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth —
Jed has a video summary of John McCain's Keating Five problem. What will it take for the corporate media to start making this part of the discussion? Since McCain loves to drone on about his extensive history in Washington, this is how he started his career in politics, so it needs to be covered. It's simply unimaginable that we have not heard more though now that an Ohio news team dared ask the question (the video link is in Jed's report) maybe the national media will jump on board. Maybe.
