If you tried to, no one would by it, even for a movie-of-the-week.
Seems the Dukester (former-congressman-turned-jailbird Duke Cunningham) was not only the recipient of handsome bribes, but of sexual favors procured (pun intended) for him by his literal partner-in-crime, Mitchell Wade, of MZM, Inc., a defense contractor. OK, no big surprise there; Cunningham seems like the sort of guy for whom high-priced hookers were created.
Here's where it gets bizarre: According to Ken Silverstein, Washington Editor of Harpers, among those enjoying the services of the ladies-of-the- evening were several present and former lawmakers, "including one person who now holds a powerful intelligence post." That description fits none other than Porter Goss, Director of the CIA.
You can't keep track of the scandals without a scorecard.
