The Last Decent Senator

John McCain is giving Boeing and the DoD all they want. The score so far:
  • Boeing CEO has resigned
  • Boeing finance director has resigned, faces jail time
  • Air Force Secretary has resigned
  • Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition has resigned
  • Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition (who steered contracts to Boeing and then was hire by them) is in jail
The Financial Times has a nice reviewof the smackdown here.

As richly as Boeing deserves this pain, McCain cast his lot with the most despicable president in the last century, and will never get forgiveness or respect from me. He matches the subject of a classic punk rock poet's rant:

"These are the kind of people who, when the SS finally comes for you, offer to water your plants while you're away."
