Oliphant gets down and dirty in column today about Duke Cunningham

Oliphant: The King of Congressional Corruption
December 6th, 2005
Thomas Oliphant gets down and dirty with his column today about Randy Cunningham. In a virtual bitch slap against the wave of rampant corruption in Washington, Oliphant points out that that while Cunningham was busy pushing with the Swift Boat memes about John Kerry in April ‘04 saying Kerry had “‘energized the enemy,” just one week before Cunningham had “defrauded America by failing to disclose two $500,000 payments from the defense contractor on whose pad he served on his income tax returns.” And…

In August 2004, as the defamatory attacks on Kerry were escalating, Cunningham affixed his name to a letter denouncing the Democratic nominee that the Bush campaign arranged. He signed it, according to the federal charging papers, on the same day he was cut two more checks for a half-million dollars.

We need to “pause and salute Randy Cunningham on his way out of town toward the beckoning slammer,” says Oliphant, Cunningham is the height of “hypocrisy and corruption.”

"The truth: Wilkes was a mechanism by which public funds earmarked for national defense were funneled to G.O.P. candidates and causes."

You heard it, taxpayer funded elections but only for the GOP, funded through taxes earmarked for the military. It's a part of the whole Cunningham mess, and probably the main reason he blubbered out a confession and apology before the cameras. Too many fat cats are going to get hurt when this one really breaks open.

Now you know why we can't afford to care for the soldiers coming back in pieces from Bush's dirty war.

Interesting blend of services.

That Cannonfire link is MUST READ stuff!

cunningham is a veteran. He is a disgrace to every man and woman who ever wore the uniform. He trashed a war hero during the last election while being a typical republican when the lights were low. I'm sure with all his defense contracts, he proudly waved the flag and supported the troops as they came home in caskets.

This guy is really the tail end of what we want in this country.

is very much typical of the way ALOT of major corporations have worked the government for decades.

I know callgirls in LA who entertained sheiks and Arab princes, and a sultan or two at the behest of James Bath and his Texas friends.

And Poppy used to procure girls for his "close" friends.
