Congressman 'Duke' Cunningham who just got convicted of bribery had a nice gig where a limosine company - which also had a homeland security contract - provided him and allegedly some other VIPs with hookers and poker games at the Watergate hotel.

The FBI has been all over DC investigating and it looks like the s*** is starting to hit the fan. I would expect more resignations and indictments.

It is alleged that, in addition to his vast stash of bribes, Duke Cunningham (and maybe others) were treated to parties in a hospitality suite operated by Cunningham's defense contractor benefactors. Poker, cigars, liquor and hookers. It has been speculated that other Congressmen were involved in the parties, and that the #3 at CIA was in attendance. It has also been speculated, but denied, that Goss was in attendance while he was a Congressman.

That's the nutshell.
