The Keating 5 are the five U.S. Senators implicated as cooperating with Charles Keating, a savings and loan banker who was convicted of fraud, conspiracy and racketeering following a scandal in the late 1980s. The senators were Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI).
This brief video story was produced by the Barack Obama campaign as an effort to discredit Obama's opponent, John McCain. The video details the investigation into Charles Keating and the five senators he supposedly bribed, including John McCain. More from the Washington Post:
"McCain was ultimately exonerated by the Ethics Committee, which did fault him for exercising poor judgment in attending two meetings with federal regulators about their case against Keating, a once high-flying savings and loans owner who contributed $112,000 to McCain campaigns (as well as making gifts that were not found to be illegal). The collapse of Keating's thrift ultimately cost taxpayers billions, and Obama's campaign mounted a full-scale assault today on McCain's involvement, with an ad and short web documentary questioning his judgment."
Being the only Airman assigned to an Army Combat Outpost on the outskirts of Afghanistan-Pakistan border can be a little intimidating and scary.
Being assigned to COP Keating while under attack by hundreds of insurgents armed with assault rifles and rocket propelled grenades is absolutely frightening, and exactly where Staff Sgt. Matthew McMurtrey found himself on the morning of Oct. 3.
Sergeant McMurtrey is an Airman from the 755th Air...

Bill Keating says $150 city offer was too low after body shops gave higher estimates
Spray from a graffiti-blasting crew's paint guns covered Keating's Jeep with a mist of white paint. Saying the paint could be removed with a good power washing, the city would only offer him $150 for repairs.
