You want to talk about William Ayers, says the Obama campaign? Then we’ll drag up John McCain’s involvement with Charles Keating and the S&L scandal back in the day. This 13-minute video reprises those events and tries to tie today’s economic crisis to McCain’s longtime support of deregulation. (Hmmm, do you think the mainstream media will adopt the Obama campaign narrative and revisit events of nearly 20 years ago? Of course they will.)

But with the market in freefall and talking heads warning that the sky is falling, why try to explain a stale scandal when you’ve got fresh meat on the table?
