Anyway, they have the same, amazing Florida sleaze factor!
Nixon was a Californian that was born in the state and served as a politician there up until becoming vice-president. It was in California that he was first called "tricky Dicky". The sleazy California effect cannot be understated. In 1969 Nixon appointed Charles Keating head of a sleazy commission (
President's Commission on Obscenity and Pornography).
As we all know Charles Keating was a crook defrauding and destroying the lives of thousands of investors through Lincoln Savings and Loan in CALIFORNIA. It was also discovered that another sleazy politician, John McCain received free trips and money from Keating and helped Keating in his criminal endeavor.
And there you have but one small example of the California sleaze factor.
You can do this with most states and make Democrats or Republicans guilty by association with a particular state.
The state rests. Too fking funny.
Mr. Keating was a businessman who later went to prison after fleecing thousands of depositors with help from a group of United States senators dubbed the Keating Five.
