Finally, the Cunningham sex scandal resurfaces

the irs seized the assets of an escort service that may have been used by a defense contractor to provide prostitutes for duke cunningham... it's a tentative link, to be sure, and, so far, nothing to link it to the foley mess... but, i swear, there's gotta be a ton o'shit lurking just below the surface... my guess is that a high proportion of congressmen, representatives and senators, republicans and democrats, have at one time or another availed themselves of sexual favors which were, in turn, used to obtain their votes and insure their silence...

Palfrey [the owner of the escort service] did speculate that she may have come to the attention of federal agents because her operation had somehow intersected with a more high profile case, like that of convicted ex-congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham. Investigators are reportedly examining charges that a defense contractor provided hookers to Cunningham as part of an influence-peddling scheme. Palfrey did not claim a nexis between her escort service and Cunningham, but invoked the disgraced pol's name while saying that she would wager that the basis for the federal probe of her business "had solely to do with some Duke Cunningham-type bigwig client that got caught up in something and started to say, 'Do you know this?' and 'Do you know that?' And that he might have been able to lead them to somebody."

if my hunch is right, it would go a LONG way toward explaining why our elected officials are all hoping this will go away... they never know if THEIR name is going to come up next...
