Four of the infamous five were Democrats.

No, that's incorrect. Two of them, Pete Domenici and John McCain, are Republicans.

John Glenn of Ohio was one of the Democrats.

Keating was just a world-class sleaze and operator.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five

The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The five senators:
Alan Cranston (D-CA)
Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ)
John Glenn (D-OH)
John McCain (R-AZ)
and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI)

were accused of improperly intervening in 1987 on behalf of Charles H. Keating, Jr...

Pete Domenici is not among those names.
