"Reprimanded" does not appear to be a word used in this context. Unless you have a bone to pick... From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five The Ethics Committee ruled that the involvement of McCain in the scheme was also minimal, and he too was cleared of all charges against him.[45]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five#cite_note-Salinger-44> [44] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five#cite_note-PBS-43> McCain was criticized by the Committee for exercising "poor judgment" when he met with the federal regulators on Keating's behalf.[8]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five#cite_note-az-keating-7>The report also said that McCain's "actions were not improper nor attended with gross negligence and did not reach the level of requiring institutional action against him....Senator McCain has violated no law of the United States or specific Rule of the United States Senate."[48]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five#cite_note-nyt-sen-eth-47>On his Keating Five experience, McCain has said: "The appearance of it was wrong. It's a wrong appearance when a group of senators appear in a meeting with a group of regulators, because it conveys the impression of undue and improper influence. And it was the wrong thing to do."[8]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five#cite_note-az-keating-7> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:272615 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
