There have been DOZENS of McCain scandals, not the least of which was the “Keating Five” (1980–1989, google it), involving the failure of Lincoln Savings and Loan, which led to Charles Keating (R) donating to the campaigns of five Senators for help. Keating served 42 months in prison. The five were investigated by the Senate Ethics Committee which found that:

Alan Cranston Senator (D-CA) reprimanded
Dennis DeConcini Senator (D-AZ) acted improperly
Don Riegle Senator (D-MI) acted improperly
John Glenn Senator (D-OH) used poor judgment
John McCain Senator (R-AZ) used poor judgment

Of all those, only McCain remains in office. And he was the only Republican among Democrats.

Yea and how he didn’t get taken out by the Keating scandal is one for the books. There is a new sheriff in town and McLame seems to be hell bent on really pissing him off.
