The enormity of Cunningham's crime

i suspect, with what's going on with abramoff, scanlon, noe and the other sleazy characters, we may only be seeing the tip of the iceberg...

Yesterday's guilty plea by Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham -- make that former representative, since he resigned after entering the plea -- reveals the most brazen bribery conspiracy in modern congressional history. A San Diego Republican and Vietnam War veteran who served on the House Appropriations defense subcommittee and the intelligence committee, Mr. Cunningham admitted taking $2.4 million in bribes from two defense contractors angling for government contracts and from two other co-conspirators. [...] The bribes are breathtaking in their scope, audacity and sheer greed.
