Fifty Ways to Bribe Your Congressman

By Paul Kiel - February 16, 2007, 3:36PM

Behold! We've updated our reference entry on Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-CA) to include every personal check, commode, laser shot shooting simulator, Sea-Doo Speedster, mortgage payment, and prostitute (allegedly) offered Cunningham over the course of his over-long and thoroughly disgraceful congressional career. Enjoy.

Seems you forgot the "Glock 9mm semiautomatic handgun" (allegedly)given to the Dukester by Wade. (Was this perhaps the same gun that he kept under his pillow?)

I'm still not clear as to what Thomas Kntogiannis and his nephew, John Michael, got out of bribing the Dukester.
