Not true. The Senate is a very collegial club. They don't discipline their own easily. They publicly criticized McCain for exercising "Poor judgment". Cranston was "reprimanded". Riegle and DeConcini were "Criticized for acting improperly". McCain and Glenn got off with "Exercising poor judgment".
You try loosing 150 billion dollars of taxpayer money outside the Senate, and you get a whole lot worse than "Exercising poor judgment" or -- shudder -- "A reprimand".
The telling point is that the whole debacle was brought about by McCain's passion for deregulation and laissez-faire capitalism -- and McCain learned NOTHING from it. He's been busily deregulating us into the 700 Billion mortgage meltdown.
He now claims he's going to "Clean up the greed and corruption on Wall Street and K Street. Riiiight. Erm, that's what the regulators you hate actually are for, Senator.-

In April 1986, she and her father invested $359,100 in a shopping center project with Phoenix banker Charles Keating.[15] This, combined with her role as a bookkeeper who later had difficulty finding receipts for family trips on Keating's jet,[22] caused complications for her husband during the Keating Five scandal, when he was being examined for his role regarding oversight of Keating's bank.

Unlike most of you lefties, even though I'm a Republican I have friends on both sides of the isle. I know Bob Bennett and in an open discussion with a few cigars and brandy, he was very clear, the attacks on McCain were prosecutorial misconduct and done as a political cheap shot.

Oh, in case I didn't mention it, Bob was also appointed to handle the investigation. He is a life long Democrat and worked with me on a number of legal issues.
