I really hope McCain is involved in some way. Wouldn't shock me, McCain is very corrupt. (Keating Five)

Yes. Just wishful thinking but I can hope. Not that McCain isn't corrupt though even if in other ways.

Oh yeah:

So? McCain should be better than associating himself with corrupt trash.

Multiple choice:

"This is proof of corruption, while the Obama/Rezko thing is a-OK, because..."

A. "...they weren't photographed together, and a photograph is a sacred bond.  A sacred bond!"
B. "...I'm a shameless partisan hack."
C. "...I really want to dislike John McCain."
D. B and C

The conclusion in the matter was that McCain had "potentially questionable conduct," not that he was corrupt.  Obama's Rezko conduct was also "potentially questionable," as far as I'm concerned.

Considered a cough suppressant for that hack-hack-hack*?

As much as I'd love for McCain to be involved (because it would help the Democrats), he isn't.  John McCain is an honest person.

You're being assinine to insist that McCain is corrupt because he's been photographed with Renzi.  A few things to consider...

1.    Renzi has been indicted.  Not convicted.  That mean's his innocent.
2.    If he is guilty, what has that to do with John McCain?  Barack Obama has had his picture
       -taken with William Jefferson (D-La.).  It doesn't mean Obama asked Jefferson to stash some
       -stolen cash in his freezer for him.
3.    If by some improbable stroke of misfortune or comeuppance, McCain turns out to be as
       -corrupt as Duke Cunningham could have hoped to be, then what do we do?  Crow?  Strut?
       -We'd best be careful because our ethics-house has been (and will be again) a complete mess.

If he's honest why was he involved in the Keating Five?

So the rumors were true...

At least the Justice Department waited till after his 2006 reelection bid to announce this news. This is how U.S Attorney Chris Christie should handled the Bob Menndez investigation. Instead he violated federal guidelines and attempted to create a false ethics cloud to harm Bob Menendez's election chances.
