Cunningham and prostitutes
here is a story we all should be enjoying!

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Congressman-Bribery.html

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- A prostitute whom prosecutors say a defense contractor provided to former Rep. Randy ''Duke'' Cunningham testified Wednesday that the congressman fed her grapes as she sat naked in a hot tub before they headed to a bedroom at a Hawaiian resort.

The woman spoke at the trial of Brent Wilkes, who is accused bribing Cunningham with $700,000 in cash and perks in exchange for help securing about $90 million in government contracts. Wilkes has denied the charges.

Donna Rosetta said she was chauffeured to a private villa at the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel in Kamelua, Hawaii, in August 2003 by an escort service she worked for. Cunningham and Wilkes invited her and a second woman to undress and slide into a hot tub before Cunningham invited her upstairs, Rosetta said.

1. Funny that Cunningham gets a mention here -
I just met a man who is his prison eye doctor.

The doctor had not recognized him or his name but Duke immediately let him know exactly who he is and mentioned that Top Gun was all about him. What a jerk.

3. Schadenfreude...

pleasure derived from watching someone else's suffering.

I find myself thinking and using that word all the time as I watch the freepers' and chickenhawks' worlds dissolve around them.

Considering the mess that Dumbya's put us - and the world in - it's cold comfort.
