The family man, he liked to invite women to his yacht. There, two women told Copley News Service, he would change into pajama bottoms and a turtleneck sweater to entertain them with chilled champagne by the light of a lava lamp.
While this Cunningham bribe scandal makes for a little humor, Republicans likely won't be chuckling as the story of the Dukester gains more traction.
With Porter Goss resigning and Dusty Foggo being implicated with the same mob (no pun intended) this may end up being as big as the Abramoff corruption which has yet to net all the players.
Gwin said the continuing investigation into three unindicted Cunningham co-conspirators and others who may have assisted them in the awarding of defense contracts is a widespread probe with many different avenues.
"This is much bigger and wider than just Randy 'Duke' Cunningham," he said. "All that has just not come out yet, but it won't be much longer and then you will know just how widespread this is."

Righties like to cry corruption is a bipartisan event and there is some minor validity to that claim. William Jefferson is a Democrat and will likely be joining Duke in the big house before long but, the scale of corruption on the Republican side really compels the Dems to run on this issue this year.
Jefferson v. the Republicans looks like some guy sneaking a twenty out of a church collection plate vs. a gang of men jumping up during the offering and mugging the ushers. Both are wrong but man these Republicans give a whole new meaning to corrupt.
