My favorite representative in the US House is Mr. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-Escondido, CA).
Today in the San Diego Union Tribune, there's an article about some of his real estate dealings:
"A defense contractor with ties to Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham took a $700,000 loss on the purchase of the congressman's Del Mar house while the congressman, a member of the influential defense appropriations subcommittee, was supporting the contractor's efforts to get tens of millions of dollars in contracts from the Pentagon."
In response to this, Duke claimed: "I've never even smoked a marijuana cigarette. "
Good for you Duke, but WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?!?
This is why Duke is my favorite.
