5 more members of Congress probed in bribery affair-Katherine Harris & Virgil Goode among them
Five other members of Congress are being probed in association with the bribery scandal linked to former California Republican congressman "Duke" Cunningham, according to a little-noticed legal filing discovered Thursday.

The 42-page sentencing memo was published online by Seth Hettena, an author who has published a book on Cunningham. It was made by the attorney for Mitchell Wade, the former defense contractor who pleaded guilty to bribing Cunningham in 2006 who has cooperated with the government in their investigation.
<snip>
Though none of the additional congressmembers are named, Hettena believes they are "no doubt" Republican Reps. Virgil Goode and Katherine Harris. Harris became famous during the Florida recount in 2000, was elected to Congress in 2002, and was defeated in 2006. Goode represents Virginia and was narrowly defeated in November.

8. Katherine Harris is from an extremely wealthy family -
Forbes 400 rich - her grandfather Ben Hill Griffin was the largest landowner in Florida when he died and KH is the beneficiary of a huge trust, it would be a big surprise if she was taking bribes.

10. Santa's list............
Dear Santa:

Could you somehow please make sure that the "official papers" that are about to be delivered include the name of Katherine Harris? I've been a good boy and Katherine - well, she's been very, very bad!

Her name on an indictment would make this my very best Christmas ever (thanks to your early gift of Barack Obama.)!!!!
