McCain Paling Around with Criminals

In the last day this video has had nearly 900,000 views, which means all five of you have probably seen it, but just in case you haven't, here is "KEATING ECONOMICS: John McCain & The Making of a Financial Crisis". Yep, it was produced by the Obama/Biden campaign but — alas — it relies on facts of record to describe McCain's efforts to suppress regulation enforcement for financial crook Charles Keating, ultimately leading to the $3 billion bail-out of Lincoln Savings & Loan in 1989. (More information.)




(Is it just me or does it seem somehow significant that Sarah Palin's big buzz-phrase uses the word "paling", which is her name but with the added 'g' that she habitually leaves off?)
