Duke Cunningham: ICK!

[JPhillips]

I got this from another site. It's an excerpt from a soon to be released book on Cunningham. Very well done filet and a hot tub full of Potomac River water.

...even Wilkes drew a line on what he would do for the congressman. For one thing, Wilkes was totally disgusted by the hot tub Cunningham put on the boat's deck during the autumn and winter. What repelled Wilkes -- and others invited to the parties -- was both the water Cunningham put in the hot tub and the congressman's penchant for using it while naked, even if everybody else at the party was clothed. Cunningham used water siphoned directly from the polluted Potomac River and never changed it out during the season. "Wilkes thought it was unbelievably dirty and joked if you got in there it would leave a dark water line on your chest," said one person familiar with the parties. "The water was so gross that very few people were willing to get into the hot tub other than Duke and his paramour." That was a reference to Cunningham's most frequently seen girlfriend, a flight attendant who lived in Maryland.

One of these parties started at the Capital Grille with Cunningham ordering his usual filet mignon -- very well done -- with iceberg lettuce salad and White Oak. Wilkes used the dinner to update Cunningham on the appropriations he wanted. Cunningham then took the whole group back to the boat where they drank more wine, sitting on white leather sofas while Cunningham told more war stories. Cunningham then took his clothes off and invited all to join him in the polluted hot tub that was hidden from the neighbors by a white tarp. There were no takers.

Thank heavens he's behind bars - no further violence can be done to those helpless filets.

May I present Lord and Lady Douchebag.

Wow. I guess after a while, that power goes to your head and no one bothers to deflate it, because they've got their own issues.

Good point. If I ever end up with copious amounts of unchecked power, I am going to hire rkmsuf to be my full-time douchebag police. Everytime I act like a douchbag, and no one will tell me because they are all yes men afraid of what I might do, I'll have rkmsuf there to keep me in line.

C'mon in!, the water's......well......thick.

I remember in 5th grade writing a report about his so-called greatest air combat battle in Vietnam. I guess at one time he had hero status. Tough to get, easy to lose.

I work cheap. Just feed me. An occasional hand job perhaps.

Looks like Duke likes his fillets like he likes his Viet Cong.
