Just goes to show you that a great fighter pilot doesn't necessarily
make an honest politician, I guess.

Perhaps it is more an alarming illustration of how pervasive the
corruption ethos of US Congress is. It appears that Cunningham was so
comfortable with malfeasance, that he was openly penning bribe demands
on his congressional notepad. He had apparently long ago lost sight
of the gravity of the crime he was committing out of naked avarice.

It makes you wonder how many hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribe
money he had stashed in his freezer*.
