Oh boy.

Well, the name Randy "Duke" Cunningham is etched in my head, that he has to be among the most embarrassing congressmen anyone can vote for. Like I said before, he should have policed himself. Instead, he let his head leave him while being congressman.

And I don't think that any of the rest of the local congresspeople voted no on it. Lesson learned, lesson watched.
