Comcast Close To Buying NBC
I don’t understand the plaudits Cunningham is receiving from certain quarters about his resignation letter today. He resigned because the bastard got busted! The man was bribed like a hooker — to authorize the purchase of material for our armed forces. If he hadn’t been caught with this hand in the cookie jar, he’d be laughing it up. He’s a common criminal who abused the public trust and he should be scorned. No speech filled with phony contritition can change that.

His contrition might be more moving if it hadn’t come after months of loudly professing his innocence. He may also be collecting brownie points in advance ofhis sentencing hearing. But I see no point in piling on the man. I think we should focus on drawing the contrast between Cunningham, who forthrightly owns up to what he did, and Republicans farther up the ladder for whom deflecting and denying responsibility has become a full-time job. The contrast is pretty embarrassing for the liars in the White House.
In Tuco’s world, two staffers who were fired for unethical behavior is identical to a congressman taking $2.4 million in bribes.
Sort of like Katie Barge and Lauren Weiner, eh, Oliver? Remember, we were supposed to stop making a big deal about them because they resigned, right?
Tuco must be this weeks designated cultist for the “ya but” answers. It’s been humorous to watch him dig as deep as he can to find these “ya buts” going so far as to bring up some drunk idiot.
Now he compares a couple of staffers to this.
In 2004, the people of California’s 50th Congressional District elected Duke Cunningham to his eighth term in the House of Representatives. As the voters returned a Republican majority to both chambers of Congress, Congressman Cunningham retained his position on the powerful House Appropriations Committee. Cunningham serves on the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations subcommittee, which is instrumental in providing key funding for education and medical research, two of his priorities. He also serves on the panel’s Defense subcommittee, which provides funding for our national defense and armed services. At the beginning of the 109th Congress, Cunningham was selected to serve as the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Human Intelligence Analysis and Counterintelligence on the House Select Committee on Intelligence. Cunningham was first named to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence by Speaker Hastert in the 107th Congress. His extensive military experience, continued service on defense and intelligence committees, and recognition as a congressional leader on national security issues make him an ideal fit for this prestigous position.
Tuco may want to resign himself and find someone that doesn’t suck so much at his job.
Is The House Corrupt? The Investigation Fires Up
Is Congress collective clock about to be cleaned? The Abramoff vitriol is being resurrected and it seems that the DeLay indictment was just the tip of the iceberg&
Now we have Randy Duke Cunningham pleading guilty to briber…
Don’t worry about old Randy. Southern CA has a fine tradition of rehabilitating political criminals. Roger Hedgecock is now a local celebrity and few remember the dark days of his shameful end as mayor of San Diego.
No, as I recall, they were fired. And I haven’t seen anyone praising the way they showed such strong character as they were getting the boot.
Cunningham plead guilty to taking bribes. You wanna stick up for him?
On the other hand, after reading the link OW provided and seeing this:
I have to ask: Where are the “plaudits” you were talking about, OW?
Read your links … failed to find any plaudits. Quite the contrary …
