Cunningham (R-CA) Resigns due to Bribes & DeLay Fund Raiser in Same Day

CNN: Rep Randy Cunningham said Monday he is resigning from Congress after pleading guilty to taking more than $2.4 million in bribes in a criminal conspiracy involving at least 3 defense contractors. He acknowledged a conspiracy to commit bribery, mail and wire fraud and tax evasion, and Cunningham had taken bribes from contractors, which enabled him to buy a mansion, a suburban Washington condominium, a yacht and a Rolls Royce. Oddly enough, on the same day that 1 corrupt GOP Congressman admits his crimes, another corrupt GOP Congressman denies his crimes, has a rally and bashes Dems: DeLay criticized Dem leaders and told supporters at a rally Monday not to lose faith as he faces charges of campaign finance violations. DeLay and 2 GOP fund-raisers are accused of illegally funneling $190,000 in corporate donations to GOP candidates for the TX Legislature yet DeLay blames Dems for his problems: "They won't win by criminalizing politics or by the politics of personal destruction because we'll fight them every step of the way." I can only pray that DeLay (after a lengthy prison stay w/ lonely burly men) will come to be known as The Hummer instead of The Hammer.
