Just as the McCain/Palin desperation flop-sweat starts to really stink up the country, good news arrives in this afternoon's release of new polling results showing Barack Obama and Joe Biden are widening their lead over John "What Economic Problems?" McCain and Sarah "I can see Russia from my House!" Palin.

At the heart of the scandal was Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which took advantage of deregulation in the 1980s to make risky investments with its depositors' money. McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating with federal regulators tasked with preventing banking fraud, and championed legislation to delay regulation of the savings and loan industry -- actions that allowed Keating to continue his fraud at an incredible cost to taxpayers.

Watched the video. Seems that, as a joke, someone translated his script into Japanese, then back to English.
For his next trick, Brian will release a cover of
"Everybody Walk the Dinosaur."

Here's the thing. He did end up on Letterman.
Fifteen minutes of fame is more than I've had. Collins is a footnote, not a laughingstock. When he's 65 and talking to his grandkids, he'll be able to look back and laugh.
Heck, look at William Hung. He made a couple of shekels from Cingular ads, etc - and all because he embarassed himself on national TV. Not a bad swap.
And now we're writing about them...

I am a Telecommunications major at Ball State University and friend of Brian Collins. He lived on my floor this past school year. It was great to see Brian on Letterman last night (Thursday, June 9, 2005). I'm glad he finally became a good sport about it. For so long, he would hope that it would all just go away. Last night, Letterman helped him out big time. From the ashes of live television infamy, Brian Collins has morphed from laughing stock of Generation Y message boards to household name for the entire country. WAY TO GO, BC! "BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!"

Hey! The guy also got on the Early Show, so eventually CBS'll suck him dry. That or every other network will ask for him.

Here is the thing - I am a tcom student at BSU as well and I think he is a big baby. What the nation doesn't realize is that after this happened, Brian cried like a little school girl - all the while I knew it would get him so much publicity. Publicity that someone who wants to be an anchor would kill for. He was embarassed, whined, and tried to disappear when the whole time he should've embraced it as a mess up and moved on - and cashed in on his ebaumsworld.com success. This kid is a complete tool and makes me very angry by acting like he loves his clip on national tv and that he didn't hate it. After fellow students repeated his famous mantra in one of my tcom classes over and over, one student yelled at them telling them it was so horrible what happened. Well I think he got great publicity and he should stop being a big baby.

Wow - I didn't think there was. It makes no difference if he is a male or female. Maybe you and Brian should get together and have a TV show about complete morons - starring yourselves.

In response to the hostile princess.: What makes Brian Collins someone people are interested in is the exact thing you lack. He doesn't think he knows everything. He has humility and sincerity. He responded genuinely to a situation that was upsetting, and didn't think how he could profit from it. Had he responded as you would have, like a pompous jerk, no one would have wanted to see him on Letterman. Seems to me like someone is jealous.
