Cunningham Did No Wrong, Republican Controled House Panel Finds

[RedEarth]

Hey, Dukester, take heart. Federal prosecutors may have found enough evidence of bribery and malfeasance to lock you up for eight years -- and your errant sex life is now on public display

But your pals on the House Armed Services Committee say you're clean -- at least from fiscal year 2004 through 2006

The panel, led by former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham's (R-CA) pal, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), reviewed Duke's recent-year activity when he was among them, and concluded that he didn't do anything wrong, according to CongressDaily's Megan Scully, who's followed this story doggedly from the get-go.

The probe would have ended here, but Democrats on the panel demanded the review extend to cover all of Cunningham's work with the committee, stretching back 15 years. Hunter consented earlier this month.

Of course, the House intelligence committee is conducting its own probe into Duke's behavior with them. A third panel, the House Appropriations Committee (run by Duke pal Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA)) , has to date refused to look into what Duke might have done when he was in its number

1. Is Duke gonna get more time when they find out he didn't tell them about

the whores?

[Roland99]

2. Reason #1,237 why the Dems MUST take back Congress

Guess his sentence should be commuted now.

[Jack Rabbit]

3. Can you say "whitewash"?

This is incredible.

[klook]

4. Makes me wonder how many more of these schmucks are guilty

of the same illegal actions as Cunningham (or similar). I hope some of these dirtbags are up for reelection this Fall, and that the voters will send them packing.

5. JERRY LEWIS heads a House committee?!

That explains so much!

I can just see the sessions now...

"The Committee will now come to order. Oyyyyyy! Heyyy Ladyyyyy! Humnnn!"

[0007]

19. Jerry Lewis should be a director of a Funeral Parlor

Yeah, Duke was a straight shooting guy, how can ya say anything bad about an asshole after their dead.

The Duke is as dead as John Wayne

[glitch]

6. How could it be wrong if they all do it? nt

[AtomicKitten]

7. Clearly malicious prosecution if it weren't for that pesky guilty plea.

[NoAmericanTaliban]

8. Another innocent in jail. Let's storm the prison & free him.

:sarcasm:

[cascadiance]

9. Porter Goss's work behind this I think!

He'd probably get nailed if they go into the details!

I still think indy journalists who want their stories on this topic to get picked up by more "mainstream" media outlets, ought to have a subject line for their article be: "Newly Discovered Duke Sex Crimes" or something like that. Might slip through their "filters", or get picked up by some of their other news "sniffers".

[Sapere aude]

10. It was all just those loser Dems picking on poor Duke like they did with

poor Tom Delay and poor Scooter. Repubs are moral and ethical don't you know. <Sarcasm off>

[shain from kane]

11. What did the whore have to say about his performance?

Was he a good boy or a bad boy? Hit the right target or wrong target? Was he flying high or hiding in the weeds? Was the Duke the King for the Day or was he stuck with an old queen?

[Up2Late]

12. But of course he's "clean," Duncan Hunter is just as dirty as Dukey

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. :banghead: :grr:

[Bob K]

13. And Satan said....

..... I pronounce Hitler & Stalin as Not Guilty! :grr:

[LSK]

14. I hear Lewis is implicated in Hookergate

And Hunter is a fucking liar. I remember Kucinich asking him if ANWR was in the defense bill last winter and the SOB lied and said it wasnt.

[never_get_over_it]

15. Just when you think it couldn't possibly get MORE ridiculous

it does.....OH MY GOD - UFB

[Beelzebud]

16. And Darth Vader finds no fault in the Emperor, and John Gotti

has cleared Al Capone's name.

[KansDem]

17. And Bonnie says Clyde's o.k. and Clyde says Bonnie's o.k. (eom)

[Mr_Scarecrow]

18. like in the sixth sense

The dead cannot see others like them.

Pure Re-vil.

[Notoverit]

20. By GOP standards, he should be commended! Pin a medal on the boy!

[Canuckistanian]

21. And I'm sure they investigated VERY thoroughly, too

Bribes? Laudering schemes? Vote buying?

Nope, no problems here. This meeting is adjourned.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

22. What kind of a reality disconnect is this? Dude pleads GUILTY, HIMSELF,

to FELONY charges, and the House committee finds NO wrongdoing?

:wtf:

[BlueJac]

23. That is just how they see it with Bush & Cheney............

The entire Republican Congress should be censured.

[Independent_Liberal]

24. The corruption crew is at it again!

Defense contractors provided ole Duke Boy with prostitutes. I hope Jeff Gannon was one of them! :)

BTW, wasn't Gannon subpoenaed by Fitzgerald? Didn't DeLay engage in sodomy with Gannon at brothels? Weren't those brothels provided by Abramoff? It's one big clusterfuck, I tell you.

[politrix]

25. TOO LATE! He Already Tearfully Confessed And Apologized

For "doing wrong" during the initial press conferences. So, doing wrong isn't even the issue.

Now, we just need the itemized list of things done wrong.

[politrix]

26. And, Jerry Lewis' Poster Boy

Once said "Jerry can kiss my crippled ass. I never saw a dime of that money".

He said it was all a scam, Jerry's using croppled kids to stay rich, it's a racket. I wouldn't know - but, I saw the gentleman make these comments on tape.

[lovuian]

27. THis Congress are all thieves and evil...

I truly believe that they are enemies of America...
