Thanks for the clarification, JDB. I had forgotten that Neil Bush was in the S&L industry back then. Although any benefit he had was secondary and the real corruption lay in politicians who could play with laws for the benefit of their friend, Keating. I too hope you are wrong about another Bush in the White House–two have been almost more than the country can take.

THOR, my point was simply that the Bush dynasty benefited from the Savings & Loan scandal albeit small amounts (millions) out of 1.4 trillion. Just like pigs at a trough, there was no coordination, just greed. I’m sick of politicians with no integrity and now we have “say anything do anything” McCain and Hillary. My reference, although somewhat obliqe, was to Neil Bush. I should have been more specific. However, I’m pretty sure you will see another Bush in the whitehouse. I hope I’m wrong.

What is your point, JDB? The Keating 5 were (1) Alan Cranston (D-CA); (2) Denis DeConcini (D-AZ); (3) John Glenn (D-OH); (4) Donald Reigle, Jr. (D-MI); and (5) John McCain (R-AZ). There was no Bush anywhere near Keating. But the Keating 5 was made up 80% of Democrats thus allowing that party to keep its hold on its title of having the majority of corrupt politicians in the last half of the 20th Century.

At least the Bush folks didn’t kill INNOCENT civilians i.e. Randy Weaver’s wife and son and don’t forget the branch davidians. It seems to me if you hold a view that isn’t politically correct with a democrat, you stand a very good chance of winding up dead. HMMMMM.

Let me see....Hmmm, Keating Five, Savings & Loan---wasn't there a Bush somewhere in that little scandal where people's money just disappered? It's just so hard to keep it all straight in my feeble brain. Aw shucks, I have another headache. Can anybody refresh my memory? I'll be glad when Hillary's 8 years is completed so we can get back to the Bush's turn.
