McLame was also involved with the Keating 5, he has a long history of shady political deals, just like Rudy - both are toast.

Soros and his Open Society Institute are also heavy contributors to McCain's "Reform" PAC.

Recall that Soros has always favored "campaign finance reform". And got what he wanted in McCain-Feingold -- which empowewred him to buy the Democrat party.

“Toast....right. This is what I know about the Keating 5:

“Although the evidence is in conflict on this, it appears that Senator McCain at some point communicated to Senator DeConcini that he was unwilling to put a lot of pressure on Chairman Gray or to negotiate on behalf of Lincoln. This was passed on to Charles Keating.

Senator McCain’s refusal to go along with Mr. Keating’s agenda regarding the regulators caused Mr. Keating to call Senator McCain a wimp. Word of this remark reached Senator McCain through Senator DeConcini’s office. As a result, when Senator McCain and Mr. Keating met on March 24, 1987 to discuss the upcoming meeting with Chairman Gray, they had a heated argument. . . . Mr. Keating left in an angry state. This argument ended Senator McCain’s personal relationship with Charles Keating.”

Is there something different that you know about the Keating 5?
