    $enator McCain for Sale

    So much for McCain's learning from his dealings with Keating. This guy is a whore with a temper. Sure, he may like the lobbyists and developers he personally helps out, but being a Senator isn't supposed to be about helping your buddies and screwing the average guy.

    I wonder if his second wife--the beer distributorship heiress--ever worries about her marriage. McCain started chasing her while still married to the unsuspecting first wife. Was John chasing her or her money? What if a younger, richer donor came along: would Cindy get kicked to the curb as well?

    This story makes it clear that McCain will loot this country for his super-rich friends, just like Bush did, if he gets elected. He can get as angry as he wants, but the truth is out: McCain is for sale and he listens to the highest bidder.
