Feds Finally Seize Failed Bank That McCain's Son Ran - Huffington
wowee...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-nickolas/feds-finally-seize-failed_b_124854.html

The failure is expected to cost the FDIC deposit insurance fund between $450 million and $550 million... estimated there was about $20 million in uninsured deposits.

But nothing from the McCain camp. Maybe they fear the obvious comparison.

Recall that John McCain was at the center of the S&L scandal when he tried to keep federal regulators from investigating the bank of then top donors and Cindy McCain's business partner -- Charles Keating. That scandal -- forever known as The Keating Five -- would emerge as the biggest black mark on McCain's political career resulting in a rebuke by the Senate Ethics Committee.

As they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...Is it too much to ask the media to do its job?
