Try again, that mud didn't stick.
I'm not the one who started slinging mud, and that mud stuck a long time ago. Glenn and McCain were found by the Ethics Committee to have used "bad judgment".

EDIT: As with any of these institutions, their self-policing can be questionable, and it's arguable as to whether being cleared of acting improperly means anything; certainly there were those at the time who felt that was the case.
