I don’t want to keep picking on the republicans, really. It makes me sad when the government of this country has its head in its ass. But GOD DAMN IT! they just keep fucking up. The latest little fun fact. Randy “Duke” Cunningham pleads guilty to being a lying cheating bastard.

Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham resigned his office today after pleading guilty to fraud, conspiracy to commit bribery and tax evasion in a political corruption case. U.S. District Judge Larry Burns accepted the pleas from Cunningham, 63, including the congressman’s admission in federal court that he had accepted bribes in exchange for performance of his official duties. “I misled my friends, family and myself. The truth is, I broke the law and disgraced my office and myself,” Cunningham said after his plea, breaking into tears at a news conference

Cunningham admitted to receiving at least $2.4 million in bribes — checks for over $1 million, cash, rugs, antiques, furniture, yacht club fees and vacations, according to prosecutors. He agreed to return $1.8 million.
