| Description | A federal grand jury investigation. Accusations of ethics violations. Unending news coverage of his travails. Every day that passes seems to bring more blows to Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Escondido. Blows that over the last two weeks have been met with little more than silence and prepared statements from the former Top Gun pilot.
And with every new revelation of the eight-term congressman's ties to a Washington defense contractor ---- a real estate deal with the president of that company, his use of a yacht belonging to the same man, his questionable use of the congressional seal on memorabilia ---- Cunningham's political future becomes riddled with question marks.
