Awe Poor Baby.....

After months of insisting he had done nothing wrong, Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham tearfully acknowledged taking $2.4 million in bribes, saying: "The truth is I broke the law." The eight-term Republican and former Vietnam fighting ace pleaded guilty to graft Monday and resigned, admitting he took money mostly from defense contractors in exchange for government business and other favors.
"In my life, I have had great joy and great sorrow. And now I know great shame," a tearful Cunningham said after the plea. "I can't undo what I have done but I can atone."
But Cunningham, who could get up to 10 years in prison at sentencing Feb. 27 on charges of conspiracy to commit bribery and fraud, and tax evasion, may not be the only person ensnared in the case. Prosecutors have indicated they have more than him in mind.

This pathetic scumbag took 2.5 million in bribes from Defense contracters while in the House and used them to pay for his lavish lifestyle. He came out yesterday all in tears saying he was sorry for what he did, well screw him let him rot in jail and think about it. He is one of those "your with us or against us" nutjobs who wraps themselves in the flag to scream about patriotism all the while screwing the country by taking bribes. I have no compassion for this thug, he deserves getting the book thrown at him and hopefully more will go down because of this. Its time to clean up Washington and if it takes one politician at a time, so be it. We already have Delay on the ropes, Rep Ney from Ohio is next and the list goes on.
