It wasn't long before he found himself accused as a member of the Keating Five of trying to block an investigation of savings-and-loan mogul Charles Keating. The accusation was loaded with politics, and to this day he still gets red-faced over what he considers the taint on his honor. But rather than lick his wounds, McCain has fired back at some of the Senate's most treasured domains — campaign cash and pork-barrel spending — and damn the party affiliation.

Full disclosure - This article is from February 1997

Bit it is relevant today, considering the butt licking Democrats are giving his corpse.

McCain was no statesman, he was just a senator, for too long at that.

"He just comes out and blows up every once in a while," says a congressional correspondent, who didn't want to be named. "You can almost see the steam coming out of his ears."

The steam is now but a cool breeze compared to the hot gases swirling around him in his current location.

Also from the same article is this:

“ROSS PEROT MIA/POW groups denounced McCain when he backed President Clinton’s efforts to normalize relations with Vietnam. When Ross Perot, who had financed the POW cause, joined the attack, McCain told a reporter that Perot is “nuttier than a fruitcake, and you can quote me.” When Perot phoned to complain, McCain called him “nutty” again.”

To show you what an ungrateful bastard McCain was, he attacked Perot forgetting the fact that Perot had helped pay for his first wife’s medical expenses after her crippling car accident in 1969.
