"Ask 9/11 victims about flag burning" Cunningham being investigated

[Bluebear]

...Cunningham, 63, a former Navy fighter pilot who shot down five MIGs during the Vietnam War and was a role model for Tom Cruise in the movie "Top Gun," is being investigated by the FBI and other federal agencies for selling his house in November 2003 to a military contractor for what may have been an inflated price.

Mitchell Wade, 42, president and chief executive of Washington-based MZM Inc., bought the house for $1,675,000, then sold it seven months later for $975,000, a $700,000 loss. The house deal was first disclosed earlier this month by the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Critics suggest that Wade paid Cunningham for the house as a way to illegally funnel money to a congressman who has supported his company.

The fact that for months Cunningham has lived on Wade's yacht, named the Duke Stir, berthed in the Potomac River, has raised further questions about improper financial links.

1. We'd like to ask them a lot of things along with that.

Like: "How do you feel about Osama Bin Laden still out on the loose?" or "How do you feel about Afghanistan being forgotten?" or "How do you feel about those four mothers who are trying to sue George W. Bush about his mishandling of the whole affair?"

Gee Congressman, you just opened a mighty big can o' worms there.

3. Gee, if the value of the home dropped that much in that short of time

it's a good thing that the Dukester got out before the Supreme Court hearing on "eminent domain" . . .

5. Ask dead people about flag burning? OK.

I just got off the phone with God. He said the 9-11 victims are against the flag burning amendment and they're all pissed off proper at Republican bullshit.

6. Thank you Kraklen, that settles that!

7. My pleasure.

God also says that Cunningham enjoys masturbating three times a day to transvestite porn.
