Former congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, a decorated fighter pilot in Vietnam who admitted taking $2.4 million in bribes from two defense contractors, was sentenced Friday to eight years and four months in federal prison for selling his office.
I'd like to point out that the only reason he's a "former" congressman is because he resigned in the face of the charges against him. His colleague and friend, Rep. Doolittle (R-CA) has bravely - stupidly? - stood by him and denied all the charges against Cunningham. I'm sure Doolittle is as corrupt as Cunningham to try and defend those charges.
The ice is getting thinner.
