In 2004, Congress, led by Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, banned the Air Force from working out a lease and purchase deal with Boeing after a federal investigation uncovered improprieties at the highest levels of the Air Force procurement process.
He just lost my vote....
In his defense, I will point out that the original contract he objected to was so crooked, two Boeing executives went to jail (Darleen Druyun and Michael Sears).
