I could care less about his temperment.

McCain was involved in the Keating Five.
Keating Five - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is John McCain a Crook? - Chris Suellentrop - Slate Magazine

In February 1991, the Senate Ethics Committee found McCain and Glenn to be the least blameworthy of the five senators. (McCain and Glenn attended the meetings but did nothing else to influence the regulators.) McCain was guilty of nothing more than "poor judgment," the committee said, and declared his actions were not "improper nor attended with gross negligence." McCain considered the committee's judgment to be "full exoneration," and he contributed $112,000 (the amount raised for him by Keating) to the U.S. Treasury.
Next question?


He spent his 70th. birthday on Raffaello Follieri's yacht. Follieri was convicted this week of 14 counts of wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy.

There are reports of him spending it on some Russian guy's boat. I'm waitng for FactCheck to look at this one.
