Yo Taxi..!

Just say "No, Thank you!" to graft AND "limousines."

Park And Ride Hookers In Cunningham Case
Investigators Focus on Limo Company
"Federal authorities are investigating allegations that a California defense contractor arranged for a Washington area limousine company to provide prostitutes to convicted former congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-Calif.) and possibly other lawmakers, sources familiar with the probe said yesterday the Congressmen insist they were only trying to father a lasting majority."

Round Up The Usual Suspects...

Prosecutors May Widen Congressional-Bribe Case
Cunningham Is Suspected Of Asking for Prostitutes; Were Others Involved?

WSJ - Federal prosecutors are investigating whether two contractors implicated in the bribery of former Rep. Randall "Duke" Cunningham supplied him with prostitutes and free use of a limousine and hotel suites, pursuing evidence that could broaden their long-running inquiry. Besides scrutinizing the prostitution scheme for evidence that might implicate contractor Brent Wilkes, investigators are focusing on whether any other members of Congress, or their staffs, may also have used the same free services, though it isn't clear whether investigators have turned up anything to implicate others.
In recent weeks, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents have fanned out across Washington, interviewing women from escort services, potential witnesses and others who may have been involved in the arrangement. [continued]
I just made a phone call and directed the special agents to widen their probe to include male prostitutes (former GOP WH "reporter" Jeff "Bulldog" Gannon and Transexuals in particular) and to cross reference anti-gay Congressional voting records and statements to help narrow the list. Over the years, I have learned that if their panties are in a bunch over gay rights, they usually are...
And in case you are wondering, Duke is immune from further prosecution because technically any acts between him and another sex worker is categorized as professional courtesy.

Everything Must Go..!

Randy "Duke" Cunningham's - I've Lost My Lease To Freedom And Ill Gotten Gains Estate Sale

From AP - Silver-plated candelabras. A cedar-lined lingerie cabinet. Persian rugs. An oak hutch carved with lions' heads, tree limbs and acorns.

The spoils from former Rep. Randy ''Duke'' Cunningham's bribery scheme -- a household of valuable antiques, rugs and home furnishings -- will be auctioned off by the government Thursday to help cover the back taxes and restitution he owes.

The public was given a preview Tuesday of the loot, which was laid out in orderly rows in a warehouse near Los Angeles....

There is a leather sofa. A solid cherry sleigh bed. Nearly a dozen rugs. Marble-topped nightstands, armoires and sideboards, many featuring stained glass, brass fittings and intricate carvings.

''There's a real mix of different styles -- Art Deco, French provincial, American pioneer,'' said Britney Sheehan, who works for the company that will auction the goods.

Peyton Place Or Mustang Ranch..?

Guilty Congressman Duke Cunningham's "Co-Conspirator" Also Ran A DC "Hospitality Suite, With Several Bedrooms"
National Journal
Sometimes we read too many political clips and overlook some amazing things staring us in the face. Among those in Monday's edition, this little factoid, culled from Sunday's San Diego Union-Tribune blockbuster digging deeper into the Duke Cunningham's relationship with "co-conspirator No. 1," a.k.a. lobbyist Brent Wilkes.
According to the U-T, Wilkes also "ran a hospitality suite, with several bedrooms, in" DC -- "first in the Watergate Hotel and then" in a Capitol Hill hotel. Come again? [more]
These cases are starting to make me blush. To be thorough I will now have to review Judy Miller's tax returns and check the contents in her safety deposit box!

It May Be Too Late...

for most members of Congress.



It starts out with simple campaign contributions and that almost always leads to the hard stuff.

We don't have a large budget here at Justice for an expensive public service campaign to prevent corruption. Help us be judicious with your tax dollars by submitting your ideas for my new DOJ...
" Just Say No Thank You To Graft Program."
The winning entry (poster and slogan) will receive a signed 8 x 10 glossy of yours truly and the thanks from a grateful nation. It will then be delivered to 100 Senators and 435 members of Congress (make that 434 - we are too late for Duke).
Good Luck!
Deadline for entries is December 16th.

Guilty..!

is my favorite word of all time.
Rep. Cunningham Pleads Guilty - Admits taking bribes of over $2.4M

If you recall, Duke tried to defend his grafty ways back in June

Sorry Duke, but I love the smell of justice on a Monday in spite of your 'Top Gun' fame! You should have never left your wingman 'Integrity.'
