A golden oldie from the dusty stacks of moldy wax:
DeLay defends Cunningham's home sale: "DeLay defends Cunningham's home sale
By Patrick O'Connor
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) yesterday defended Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-Calif.) after calls from congressional Democrats to investigate the Republican appropriator for selling his San Diego home to a defense contractor whose firm had received $65 million in federal funds in 2004.
'Duke Cunningham is a hero,'DeLay said during a press briefing Tuesday. 'He is an honorable man of high integrity.'
Cunningham sold his home in 2003 to Mitchell Wade, president of MZM Inc., a Nevada-based defense contractor that specializes in security and intelligence-gathering technology. The company lost $700,000 after it resold the property eight months later, the San Diego Union-Tribune first reported Sunday."
Cunningham resigned from Congress Monday afternoon.
Birds of a feather...
