Effing disgusting. This guy wasn't a one-time caver who took a bribe to escape an unpleasant situation. He was a habitually corrupt grafter. Sickening.
He had a thing for 19th century commodes.
At first I thought maybe the guy was just stupid, but now it appears quite obviously that he is nothing but a rotten criminal!
He needs to go down much harder than some plea bargain where he gets no prison time! What a complete pr*ck this guy is. Looks like a common democrat congressman.
Goes to show there are creeps on both sides of the aisle.
At first, it looked like it might be a single (admittedly major) lapse -- but this list makes it clear that the man is a habitual crook.
Unbelievable. Duke's corruption went well beyond the charade involving the sale of his home at a grossly inflated price. I'm pretty sure his decision to plead guilty must have been based in part on an agreement by the U.S. Attorney with regard to a sentencing recommendaton. However, given the extent of his graft, the judge may not accept the recommendation. Duke could (and in my opinion should) be looking at some real serious time here.
His heroic past as a aviatior is now gone, forever tarred by this. How is it that politics can do this to men like Cunningham, Murtha, and McCain?
Three words. Stong central government.
We're going to have to address this growing problem soon, we'll have no choice.
TOtally digusting.
Well, the kiddies and wifie didn't seem to mind or care how they were satisfied.
I'd hate to see a list of the Clintons dirty laundry ... .
Amazing. What a greedy crook. He could have gotten all these goodies if he quit Congress and became a lobbyist himself...
Look out - pretty soon you'll be accused of being a DU jackal, picking at the bones of the Sainted War Hero.
I'm hoping that this proof of his continuing corruption silences the defenders he has left, but I fear nothing will.
Randall was always a flake when he was here in Philadelphia, but its a shame to see it come to this.
Owl_Eagle(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
How many three night stands did he get for $12,000? Using data from the Dick Morris incident, $200 translates to 60 hours. Sounds like only one three night stand. Then again, if it was from an antique store it was probably an antique chick, so figure only 1/4 to 1/2 of the rate Morris paid for a young babe. So maybe he had several three night stands with ancient hookers. What a sickie.
This is just the stuff he admitted to.
very very sad....he let us down bigtime
no excuse for that....some game tickets, a plane ride or hunting trip or special edition 45-70...ok, I got it ...fair enough...been there, done that but this was way way over the top.
"Duke",.....there can be only one and you ain't him pardner!
The MSM loves to tear down an American hero.
Paging Alcee Hastings...
This guy sounds like Bobby Torricelli in New Jersey. Duke is not as slick. Torricelli watched his donors get convicted. He walks free. I doubt if Duke had a handle in the furniture and other junk. Sounds more like wifey was using his offices..........silly Duke
Good argument for term limits. When they stay there too long, the temptation to become corrupt, and/or "part of the problem" seems almost irresistible.
He should have started a ministry and become a televangelist, and gotten all this stuff the easy way (bilking the guillable). It worked for Creflo Dollar and all those other hucksters.
