John McCain's Keating Five Problem In 97 Seconds (VIDEO)

Here's a new video taking a look at John McCain's Keating Five problem in just 97 seconds.

The video combines archival footage of CBS and NBC News (including a report from Andrea Mitchell!) with reporting by CNN's John King aired just last month.

The bottom-line is that two decades after his role in the savings and loan crisis, John McCain is still the same old guy, more focused on deregulation than on delivering the sensible protections we need.

Video edited by Jed Lewison for The Huffington Post.

UPDATE: ThinkProgress catches McCain being asked about the Keating Five scandal yesterday by a local Ohio reporter.

He has failed his country, as badly as you can fail.

This should be converted to an ad. For sure.

The MSM will not focus on this story at all for reasons that are unknown and baffling, quite frankly, particularly in the midst of the most recent financial crisis.

[deliriousgod]

maybe because it was a lifetime ago and the future is the only thing you can Change. Older people remember this story, and younger people can guess from all of Jodney McDaingerfields collar-pulling, twitching and eye-darting that it had to be something like that.

All that much more important to remind younger people of Johny's track record. How he was cited by the ethics committe for bad judgment and does not learn from his mistakes.
