Something in the Ayres

While John McCain is pushing the association card hard, and the RNC has launched a new Ayers ad, the Washington Times ran a piece yesterday that demonstrates a close personal relationship between John McCain and Charles Keating.
McCain wrote: "As you know, I am deeply appreciative of your friendship and support over the years, and I would not want to do anything which would offend you. Please accept my apology, and be assured that there will be no future repetition of this kind."

Six days later Keating sent a handwritten note back assuring McCain he has done, and can do, no wrong. "Don't be silly. You can call me anything, write anything or do anything. I'm yours till death do us part."

While the Keating Five attack was launched by Obama to blunt the Ayers attack this week, one has to wonder which relationship voters should be more concerned with: the membership of Obama and Ayres on a philanthropic board or that of two men with questionable ethics, one who was convicted after his financial house of cards fell and the other who was criticized for his poor judgement.
