Sad to see a true hero fall from grace.  With that said, he deserves what ever punishment he receives.
^^^^^

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

And we have an early leader for "Partisan Hack of the WeeK" in Nancy Pelosi, who quickly claimed that all Republicans are this corrupt.

Hmmm....but she did say "the Republican-controlled Congress", not "Republicans in Congress".  Maybe she meant that "the culture of corruption" is in both parties of Congress.

Most recently, we can talk about how Nancy Pelosi attacked Tom DeLay for not filing accurate reports on lobbyist sponsored travel--and how she then was caught doing the exact same thing.

At least Cunningham had just enough class to resign his office.  Only two Congressmen have been removed from office since the Civil War: Michael Myers and Jim Traficant--both for taking bribes.

You had to go back to the '80s? LOL. A lot of those "Democrats" are pretty conservative, like Traficant.

Wow, yeah, he had to go back three whole years to find a Democratic Congressman who was found guilty of the exact same thing.  But that's totally different.
