Looking for a good deal?

Randall "Duke" Cunningham's personal items are about to go on the
auction block.

And if there is any idea that this incident may have taught Republicans
a lesson, think again.

Kathleen Harris, of the infamous Florida Voting Scandal, is running for
office and she received $51,000 of this bride money from Cunningham.
She says she wonąt give it back. (Republican political handlers are
trying to convince her to change her mind and she will probably "change
her mind" after she realizes she has been caught, claiming it is the
"right thing to do." Republican voters, of course, will buy it.)

I read about that. She didn't want to give the bribe money back, but
when the Dems began talking about it on television I *think* she
decided to "cut and run."
