Prosecutors Seek 10 Years for Cunningham - Yahoo! News
Prosecutors on Friday asked that former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham be sentenced to the maximum of 10 years in prison for his “stunning betrayal of the public trust” by accepting bribes.
“Cunningham used his status as a war hero to get into Congress, and then he used his Congressional office to get rich,” prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum. “For the better part of a decade, Cunningham, in effect, erected a ‘for sale’ sign upon our nation’s capital.”

The more I read, the less sympathy I have for him. He really deserves to do jail time. He will be in the company of many others who are in prison for a lot longer, for a lot less cause.

I never had any sympathy for him… especially his arrogance (last election he did no campaigning at all), his flagrant disregard for the trust of the people whom he represented, and his greed (a nice house in Del Mar, a military pension, PLUS a congressional salary with a staff was not enough?) I fear greed is going to take down this country one person at a time.
