Indeed! And you notice how it's always "John McCain and the Keating 5" "John McCain and the Keating 5" "
JOHN McCAIN and the Keating 5." Makes you wonder if anyone else was involved besides a guy named "Keating" and guy named "McCain."
Could the reason for that be that John McCain was the only Republican in the group? So for the benefit of the rabid, John McCain was "exonerated." That means, to the satisfaction of those investigating the case, he didn't do it. Sort of like the "Duke University rape case." The accused weren't just found "not guilty." They were exonerated. That means the State came to the conclusion that they had been falsely accused of something THEY DIDN'T DO! Now, was the Lacrosse team party ill-advised? Most likely. Was it an "error in judgment?" Most likely. But there is a difference between a lapse in judgment and commission of illegality.
But the way, of the "Keating 5" one other of the "5" was also exonerated. Doesn't matter who, though, since John McCain is the only one who's guilty of being a Republican, right?
