        \_ Scanlon/Abramoff may take out a dozen or more.  The Duke's situation
           may take down a couple more before it's through...  I just popped
           some fresh popcorn.
        \_ As a native San Diegan, I can assure you this couldn't have
           happened to a more deserving scumbag. --erikred
        \_ May he rot in jail. -emarkp
           \_ One can only hope.
           \_ I'm glad you served your country. I'm glad they made a movie about
              the highlight of your time in the service. I'm so glad you can sit
              there and judge, sleep in a nice, comfortable bed at night when you
              never lived in a communist state.

              \_ Poor troll indeed.
        \_ Traficant was really not guilty, so was Jim Wright, too.
           I'm sure good old Danny boy Rostenkowski was not guilty as well.

           \_ Out of curiousity, who here defended Trafficant?  Grow up,

           "I broke the law, concealed my conduct and disgraced my high
            office. I know that I will forfeit my freedom, my reputation, my
            worldly possessions, and most importantly, the trust of my
            friends and family." -Duke Cunningham 11/27/05
            \_ This would be interesting if the quote dates were reversed.
               \_ Actually, you are right. That would be hysterical in fact.
                  I am going to start reporting them backwards like that.
            \_ Compared to Tom Delay, Duke Cunningham *is* an honorable man
               of high integrity.

Congressman Resigns After Corruption Guilty Plea POSTED: 12:42 pm EST November 28, 2005 UPDATED: 5:29 pm EST November 28, 2005 SAN DIEGO -- Rep. The resignation comes after guilty pleas Monday to corruption charges. When asked by US District Judge Larry Burns in open court in San Diego if he had taken bribes in exchange for performance of his official dutie s, Cunningham answered, "Yes, your honor." Cunningham sold his home two years ago to a defense contractor at an appa rently inflated price. Around the same time, that man's company saw its defense revenues triple. Cunningham was a member of a House subcommittee that controls defense dol lars. He entered guilty pleas to charges of conspiracy to commit mail fr aud and tax evasion. The eight-term congressman is a former Vietnam War flying ace who is know n as "Duke." He's known for his interest in defense issues, and for his occasional outbursts. Cunningham wiped away tears as he announced his resignation after the hea ring. "I can't undo what I have done, but I can atone," Cunningham said.
