Taping his fellow Republicans in order to get a better plea deal.

I know this is Newsmax, so who the hell knows how reliable it is.

But, if true... holy shit!

Top Republicans in the House are buzzing - and scrambling - at news alleging that Randy "Duke" Cunningham, a former San Diego congressman who's pled guilty to bribery and other illegal activities, was wearing a wire for the FBI during the summer and early fall of 2005.


The undercover operation, according to senior Justice and federal law enforcement, is part of a broadening investigation into the Jack Abramoff bribes-for-favors scandal now roiling Washington.


The disgraced former lawmaker initially began cooperating with federal investigators after they uncovered evidence of his illegal acceptance of bribes in cash and luxury items from at least two small California defense contractors.


Cunningham began cooperating shortly after announcing last summer that he would not run again for Congress and before his November 28, 2005, plea agreement. Court documents reveal he admitted to accepting nearly $2 million in graft money for political favors.

1. Wow

Dishonest and conniving even among their own ranks.

2. I had read earlier that he only wore the wire for a short time, but if

this story makes them have encopresis, oh well.
Buy stock in dry cleaning.

3. Please let Pombo and Doolittle be the lucky targets of that wire.
