More Bailout Funds for S
I hope that every voter in California saw Conrad’s cartoon on Sen. Alan Cranston (Nov. 12) “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The shadow knows!” and read the front-page story (“Bush Hints He May Oust Top Thrift Overseer”), noting that Cranston (D-Calif.) and four other senators received $1.3 million in political contributions from Charles H. Keating Jr., Lincoln Savings & Loan’s chairman.
The fact that Cranston’s intervention with regulators on Lincoln’s behalf has resulted in a $2-billion bill to be paid by the taxpayers, will, hopefully, be remembered on election day. Keating deserves to be in jail, and Cranston, most assuredly, does not deserve to be in the U.S. Senate!
