Ethics Hearings and Cranston
Sen. Inouye says the Keating Five were just trying to help their constituents. Sen. Dennis DeConcini (D-Ariz.) had a lump in his throat and tears in his eyes from this statement.
That’s not bad; what’s bad is the people who lost all their money will have nothing but lumps this Christmas season. The tears were a nice touch.
But if you want to shed a tear, shed them for the thousands who lost their life savings and for the citizens who will have to pay the tab.
