There is not enough paper in the world to print even half of that list.
There's a saying that once a person gets elected to Congress, they never, ever spend another cent of their own money, for anything, ever again......even without taking graft and payoffs.
Might be time to have an unveiling of what exactly it costs working-class Americans to subsidize the lifestyle of a Congressman from the US Treasury.
At least this "Honorable" congressman was not a piker. He took with both hands.
Pete Rose was undeniably a great baseball player; a true sports hero. He was also a gambler who apparently bet on his own team's games.
Duke Cunningham was undeniably a great Naval aviator and ace; a true war hero. He also happens to be a very crooked politician.
Both examples are extremely sad.
