Federal agents on Friday searched the offices of a defense contractor tied to Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-Calif.) as well as the boat Cunningham lived on for more than a year, the latest sign of a growing investigation into the relationship between Cunningham and Mitchell Wade, founder of MZM Inc.

Well, he is a politician, in America, 2005 AD. It will be interesting to see each and every species of vice uncovered.

Duke, I've supported you for years but it's time to pay the piper - resign and fight like hell if you want - but unless this is a fabrication you must step aside.

[Clintonfatigued]

This is looking really bad, like more than a lamestream media hatchet job (like Katherine Harris has gotten). At the very least, Cunningham has been so co-opted by the D.C. lifestyle, he needs to go home and rediscover where he came from. It's very sad.

In any event, the district he represents is safely Republican.

[dk/coro]

In this case, it would appear that the old Washington Syndrome has once again kicked in: Cunningham essentially caught up in blatant greed and unfocused sense of raw criminality.

Proves the old adage that both parties are rampant with hacks that would steal from their mother's grave-sites to further their raw quests for power and lucre.

My God, how I hate entrenched politicians!!!!!

Amen, AEMELIUS!

[Kuksool]

The RATS 2006 election plan is to portray the GOP as a party drunk with corruption and power. It doesn't help when our Congresscritters lives up to Nancy Pelosi's rhetoric.

[muawiyah]

Look, whatever that Pelosi woman says about Republicans, she's the one who told us the other day that it's good to steal from the poor to help the rich ~ that it's much better than giving them tax cuts.

So much for her moral standards.
