Too bad there isn't more of this going on. I notice nobody is asking what happened to the money whirling around John Huang. It would be stupid to think he's the only one.

Sad that he went into politics. Like John Glenn, he was a far better fighter pilot - a rare breed, indeed, with awesome talent - than politician.

And Pelosi makes irrelevent noises for the naive yet again! Grr!

This guy "Duke" profiteered while in a position of power during a time when our soldiers are being killed. I don't care if he is Democrat, Republican, Communist or whatever. He should be held to the highest moral standards as a United States Congressman, and shamed, humiliated, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for betraying his country. If there were more Benedict Arnolds trotted out for their treasons, then perhaps it may help to clean up the system.

To me, the frightening thing is that he might not have been caught if it hadn't been for some shady real estate dealings. He sold his house to a defense contractor at a grossly inflated price (even by southern California standards). The buyer then sold the house at a substantial loss, which confirmed the true value. Since real estate transactions are public record, this piqued some reporter's curiosity, and then the prosecutors were off to the races.

So I'm guessing his tears are primarily for the fact that he got too creative - shoulda stuck to the old reliable "cash drop in a brown paper bag," getting lobbyists to hire his relatives, campaign donations, and other tried-and-true approaches to influence peddling.
