Keating Economics

Politics Buzz John McCain’s role in the Keating Five corruption scandal has finally entered the ‘08 election. Obama’s campaign has put together a web site and a documentary focusing on McCain’s role in the scandal, which was a part of the Savings and Loan Crisis of the ’80s and early ’90s in which Savings and Loan institutions lost billions of dollars after making risky investments and had to be bailed out by taxpayers — sounds eerily familiar, right?

Kathy Hilton Vs. John McCain

Politics Buzz Paris Hilton’s mom thinks it’s “a waste of time” that a John McCain ad includes images of her daughter as a way to slam Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama’s “celebrity status.” Do we foresee a new political roundtable show featuring Mrs. H. as political moderator? Sure, it would be fun to watch, but nothing compares to The McLaughlin Group.

McCain’s Obama Love

Politics Buzz McCain’s latest ad tries to expose the media’s left-leaning tendencies by compiling a video montage of journalists expressing their undying love for Obama. I think it’s safe to say the video fails miserably.
