Republican Ethics and Values - in case you forgot:

[Coexist]

CREW has published this little thing. What a pleasant reminder of the kind of men who were running the country and allocating our tax dollars.

You really have to read through then entire thing - the bigger the picture gets, the angrier you will feel.

For the Scandalmongers, TPMMuckraker has the most sordid bits posted,

"Among the staggering laundry list of bribes of ex-Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-CA) listed in the second indictment issued today, there's one that's bound to get a lot of ink.

The indictment alleges that, during a trip to Hawaii, Wilkes paid for a prostitute for Cunningham. I'll just excerpt the indictment here, since it displays the prosecutors' fetish for detail (no bribe goes undescribed):

On or about August 15, 2003, at approximately 6:30 p.m., provided and assorted other guests with a dinner served on a private lawn outside the Hapuna Suite ; which consisted of Seafood Gyozas of Kona Lobster, shrimp, scallops, seared hawaiian snapper, "Manoa" lettuce leaves, and an open bar featuring fine wines;

On or about August 15, 2003, at approximately 11 p.m., Prostitutes "A" and "B" and their "driver" arrived at the Hapuna Suite. Persuant to instructions, an ADCS employee escorted the prostitutes into the Suite and paid the driver $600 in cash;

On or about August 15, 2003, after approximately 15 minutes in the suite, and escorted Prostitutes "A" and "B" upstairs to separate rooms. At approximately midnight, Wilkes tipped Prostitute "A" $500 for the services;"

However, my favorite parts describe how the Dukester pressured DoD officials to continue funding his "earmarks", and how he worked to have those who opposed his candy store fired.

Great stuff, this.

Enjoy.
