A bribery kingpin who was calling all the shots

More charming revelations regarding the prototypical Republican congressional asshole Randy Cunningham.

<snip>

Fresh details of the crimes of Randy “Duke” Cunningham make clear why he has never cited the corrupting culture of Washington as an excuse for his behavior.

Cunningham, we now know, took to corruption with an enthusiasm and single-mindedness that are rare even by Washington standards.

His conduct over six years, as spelled out Friday by federal prosecutors seeking a maximum 10-year prison sentence, was unflinchingly mercenary, especially as it pertained to his love of extravagant living and expensive toys. Once, he demanded the use of a private jet to take him yacht shopping, with no intention of paying for either.

But for all the instances of free dinners and French commodes, what stands out most about the Republican ex-congressman in the government sentencing memorandum is his insatiability.

This traitor to the country was one of the loudest yammerers to label those that disagreed with Bushevik policies as "disloyal". Now his lawyers are attempting to reduce his potential sentence based on his "service to the country" as a Naval aviator.

I say lower the boom on him. And then go get Duncan Hunter; since he's so fond of Gitmo cuisine, I think he deserves to take up residence there for a few years himself, because he's probably just as dirty as "the Duke".

1. Dude, he's going to be the most popular belle of the ball

Someone better send Duke some Astrolglide or some type of lubricant.

2. Who'd wanna touch that shriveled up old hag.

Even inmates ain't that hard up.:puke:

3. Rape is usually about power and asserting it over others

I think the black inmates that are somewhat politically savvy know what he's about.
