Open Left

McCain was one of the Keating 5, who got us into the whole S&L; debacle.  I know that Wikipedia isn't the best source, but let's take a trip on Memory Lane:

McCain and Keating had become personal friends following their initial contacts in 1981. Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in lawful political contributions from Keating and his associates. In addition, McCain's wife Cindy McCain and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard Keating's jet. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating's opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay.

Of course, I'm assuming that anyone in the MSM would go there.  Silly me.
