Reading this story we want to apologize (temporarily, at least) for referring to "Useless News." The world seems to have underestimated Duke Cunningham's sliming-over perfidy, and the damage it's done us -- but alas, this may not be a sexy story for reporters, who seem more interested with partisan hectoring than such unprecedented sleaze -- even with its tempting RE-PUB-LI-CAN angle. True, with their endless detail such stories can glaze the eyeballs; but can anyone doubt these folks are on to something?
Soon, alas, it will be back to Use You Can News®, and those idiotic college rankings, and Useless News. Why can't Mort Zuck stick with reporting? P. S. The third graf: "I'm not here for ideology. I'm here to make money." Sounds like the GOP's motto. The last graf: At his plea hearing in February, Wade expressed remorse for his actions. "I feel deep sorrow for the harm I have caused my family, friends, and former colleagues," he said. Embittered MZM employees say it's all a self-serving act. "He's not repentant at all," says a former executive. "In his mind, it's, 'I got caught.'" We wonder how many Congresspoops and their ilk view bribery and indictments as occupational hazards. We don't want to know.
