It is Time for Keating Five: After the First Debate
As you know, the demented liar John McCain has been invoking Raines, Johnson, et al as evidence that Barack Obama has been benefiting from the collapse of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae...implying that Obama is a crook. Demented people have a decent recollection in their long-term memory, so I believe that McCain remembers his Keating Five Scandal, where he along with other 4 Senators (Democratic, deceased) committed crimes and misdemeanors. The corrupto McCain, always living from lobbyists and Washington insiders only received an admonition from Congress when he should have gone to jail, like the petty criminal that he is. So now the time is coming that we should remind the American people that John S. McCain is not only a liar, a man without honor and integrity but he is also a criminal who should have done jail time. It is time for Keating Five to explode in McCain's face.

1. The hilarious thing is, McCain KNOWS it's a sword just dangling there above his head...
...You'd THINK he'd want to tread a little lighter around "banking" issues.

2. Maybe he's trying to diminish its effect by saying Obama is doing it first
That seems to be his modus operandi for a lot of things in this campaign.

3. Drop it on his head
DURING the domestic policy-themed debate. I'd love to watch that old sot try to handle that one for the first time with no prep time and no time to spin. His head may explode right on camera, and we may all see the meltdown that's bound to happen right then and there. That'd be priceless. The more they get McCrap and Churchy Spice thinking on their feet in public, the more ridiculous these fools will look. I don't think most folks will remember a lot of the merits of the Keating issue, but they'll sure remember McCrap flipping out if he has to handle that bomb for the first time in front of the country and without help from his handlers.

5. Actually, I Think John Glenn Is Still Alive...
...but yeah it would be sweet if McCain tried to repeat this lie in next Friday's debate and Obama replied with "first of all you're a damn liar; and secondly, does a rebuked member of the Keating Five REALLY want to go there?"

McCain THINKS he wants this argument.

He doesn't.

And he'll find out when it's too late.

Obama will get 317 Electoral votes at least.

Mark 'em.
