Too bad he wasn't a Democrat. He would be walking right now

Corrupt politician.

Sort of an understatement.

Sad day when our nation's heros feel it best to cheat, especially when you don't have to. At the same time, I know he had a bone to pick with Washington, over the motivations and horrid management of the VN War. You never know.

Don't know. His party should throw his ass out if they have real integrity.

If he's been convicted of a felony, doesn't he get booted automatically? I just think Cunningham would be better off if he left on his own, and didn't make them do it for him.

Be prepared for a new barrage of "culture of corruption" 24/7.

This will come from such "clean gov." reps like Rahm (what Streets and San workers?) Emanuel, Jan (I didnt know my husband was a crook) Shakowski (sp) and Jesse ( what bud beer distributorship shakedown) Jackson Jr.

I am getting nervous about what will happen when the Noe case develops in Ohio.

We have some serious problems in '06 Speaker Pelosi anyone??? Majority Leader Reid?? God help us.

Another good man letting greed take hold. A damn shame. I don't know if he has already resigned but if he hasn't, he will. Very dissappointing. Now he will be remembered for this rather than his honorable and heroic service in Vietnam.

SAD!!

..bad health, who knows what events led up to turning left instead of turning right on what was clearly a deal with impropriety written all over it.

Wrong as this is, this still doesn't measure up to the shenanigans of say Barney Frank or Ted Kennedy.

Wasn't this guy a fighter pilot and war hero?
Doesn't that make him untouchable?

Think "Murtha", whose treason doesn't get a pass from me, even under the " drooling, dazed-and-confused senility" defense.
