Corrente Boldly shrill ... http://www.correntewire.com/node/13199/atom/feed 2008-09-06T14:36:29-04:00 So, what were Andrew McCain's "personal reasons" for resigning from the board of his failed bank? http://www.correntewire.com/so_what_were_andrew_mccains_personal_reasons_for_resigning_from_the_board_of_his_failed_bank 2008-09-06T14:28:19-04:00 2008-09-06T14:36:29-04:00 lambert Now, since John McCain's son, our Andrew, isn't a 17-year-old girl or a special needs baby, it's less fun to go after him, but still. AP:

Regulators on Friday shut down Silver State Bank, saying the Nevada bank failed because of losses on soured loans, mainly in commercial real estate and land development.

Nevada regulators closed Silver State and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was appointed receiver of the bank, based in Henderson, Nev. It had $2 billion in assets and $1.7 billion in deposits as of June 30.

Andrew K. McCain, a son of Republican presidential nominee John McCain, sat on the boards of Silver State Bank and of its parent, Silver State Bancorp, starting in February but resigned in July citing "personal reasons," corporate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show. Andrew McCain also was a member of the bank's audit committee, responsible for oversight of the company's accounting.

Hmmm.

What was it Bill Clinton used to say... "That's the...." No. "It might be..." No. "It's a ....", no, but maybe ... "It's the... It's the... It's the 17-year-old's uterus?" No, not quite. "It's the eccch?" ... "It's the ecdysiast?" ... "It's the EC?" No, none of that seems right.

Wait, wait, I think I've got it:
