A major theme of John McCain's denial that he had an affair with a female lobbyist is that he has never done anything improper in all the time that he has been in public service.
Too bad that he was reprimanded by the senate ethics committee for his involvement as part of the Keating 5. Also, even if you leave the allegations of hanky panky at the door, the idea that he accepted plane rides from someone who had active business in front of him as chairman and that they were asking him to act on their behalf is more troubling than the more sexy headline about what McCain and the lobbyist were doing.
I could care less about McCain's sex life. I have known to0 many people I like who have had affairs and to0 many I don't who were faithful and loyal spouses to judge anyone by that stick. However, the underlying issues here is that McCain's image is one he has built in the media out of air through empty rhetoric rather than one built one reality.
