WHO GOT THE BIGGEST BRIBES FROM WILKES? THERE WERE OTHER REPUBLICROOKS WHO GOT EVEN MORE THAN CUNNINGHAM!!

In the massive bribery and corruption cases enveloping the Republican congressional caucus, it is becoming very clear that Randy "Duke" Cunningham was neither one bad apple nor the mastermind of the culture of corruption so massive that it looks to dwarf even Teapot Dome, 'til now, the biggest 20th century scandal of Republican politicians selling off our country for their own personal interests and unchecked greed.

The myriad corruption scandals are so widespread that it boggles the mind to even attempt to figure out who were the worst offenders outside of Tom DeLay. Like I said a few days ago in trying to figure out who got most of the Abramoff money, the recently exposed Indian casinos rip-off and bribes cases (which will probably land Ohio's Bob Ney, California's John Doolittle, and Montana's Conrad Burns in prison) just scratch the surface when it comes to the illicit funds Abramoff and DeLay funneled into GOP coffers and corrupt politicians' pockets.

The Wilkes scandals are also massive, with huge chunks of cash being illegally directed into Republican politician's pockets and campaign efforts. By now we've all read about Wilke's and his paper companies and his huge bribes to Randy Duke Cunningham. Cunningham, after vehemently denying any wrongdoing for months-- as all Republicrooks always do when they get caught with their paws in the cookie jar-- finally admitted guilt (although only to what the Feds already had evidence of, not to all the other criminal activities he had been engaged in, like peddling advance presidential pardons for Bush at $400,000/pop). But, at least on paper, it looks like other corrupt Republican congressmen were taking even bigger bribes from Wilkes slimy operation than Cunningham was! Among the worst offenders so far are Virgil Goode, Jr (R-VA), Katherine Harris (R-FL), Duncan Hunter (R-CA, and possibly next to be indicted), DeLay of course, John Doolittle (R-CA) and Cunningham's partner in crime, the always unethical and corrupt Jerry Lewis (R-CA). And of course Bush himself; he always got a piece of every Republican criminal caper. I am working on a Duncan Hunter story now and hope to get it up today. If you haven't heard about Hunter before, get ready; he's about to get his moment of fame.
