John McCain and Charles Keating
Remember this really damning picture of McCain celebrating his birthday with Charles Keating, the villain of the last big taxpayer bailout of unrestrained Republican greed? Here’s the article where bmaz got that photo (pdf from The Phoenix Sun Gazette, September 12, 1993).
