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.

I just read the piece to which Pollack refers. The comments are realistic, but hardly insensitive or despicable.
Keep up the good work, Rob.

"I can't take it anymore, Felix, I'm cracking up. Everything you do irritates me. And when you're not here, the things I know you're gonna do when you come in irritate me. You leave me little notes on my pillow. Told you 158 times I can't stand little notes on my pillow. "We're all out of cornflakes. F.U." Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Ungar!"

Hee, is Paul the troll-magnet up to his tricks again? They find him even if it's by accident :) Paul, are you sure you didn't make that e-mail up? How can we raise your acceptance level of admiration up from trolls to maybe more hot Lebanese babes instead? Would you give up your craving for troll-attention if I sent you pictures of me swimming in the nude every day? Imagine Ann Coulter with Dolly Parton's assets? What can the ladies of Wizbang do to ween you off your beloved trolls?!! :)

Actually BR I have another from today that is a dozy!
I'm trying to decided if I should publish it or not.
I told the guy I was, but it is sorta redundant.....
The other guy was a complete loon. He emailed me 3 times asking me to stop emailing him. 3 times I explain it was him emailing me. He was off his meds.
But they do seem to find me. Next I'll say the word "dog" and Andy will see it in the mirror and think I said "God" and he'll start braying too. The loons love me.

Man, I've never gotten any hate mail. Hateful comments, but never hate mail.
I feel so jealous. What do I have to do to get hate mail?

Your insensitive comments about Mrs. Sheehan is despicable.
Why is it that every moonbat seems to have failed to learn basic grammar?

Huh. Nearest thing I ever got to honest-to-goodness hate mail was when I politely asked a proto-Phelpsie (this was years before I'd ever heard of Inbred Fred) not to e-mail me any more of her ... unique theological insights.
Her response was to inform me in colorfully descriptive (and downright gleeful, I thought) terms that, because I didn't want to receive her kindly unsolicited epistles, I was most assuredly going to burn forever in hell.
The next message I got from her was to inform me that because of my wickedness she had lost her e-mail account and had to get a new one. To which I replied offering to cost her that one too.
Oddly enough, she seemed to have gotten the message. Heh.
Maybe that's why I don't get hate mail anymore.

Jay,
I used to get hate mail when I was just a commenter. Now that I have my own blog, I don't even know what to say..... and no more hate mail just one recent hateful comment on the name of my blog - ie rightwingnut whom I hope is never allowed to do a carnival of any kind, he's so mean.
Cindy
