Don't You Love Hypocrisy?

Randy "Duke" Cunningham, one of the sponsors of the Federal Marriage amendment, resigned from Congress on Monday after pleading guilty to taking more than $2.4 million in bribes.

Is it at all surprising that these "Family Values" people are falling like flies? This guy even used some of the bribe money for his daughter's graduation party. Some other notable comments from this "Family Values" American:

Mr. Cunningham, who underwent prostate surgery in August, compared prostate cancer treatment to gay anal sex before the same group of elderly cancer patients at Alvarado Hospital. Cunningham said no man would enjoy prostate cancer treatment “unless he’s Barney Frank.”

Mr. Cunningham then made an obscene gesture in reference to prostate examinations. The reference is to fellow Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), an openly gay Congressman.

Rep. Frank replied Cunningham’s “not a guy who’s taken all that seriously. He does not have a high reputation for the thoughtful, analytical content of his remarks.” Rep. Frank also said “He seems to be more interested in discussing homosexuality than most homosexuals.” [S.D. Union-Tribune, 9/9/1998 B8, editorial, 9/10/1998 B10]

Wow, what a true patriot! Here's another thought, Rep. Barney Frank represents Brian Camenker in Newton.
