Bribery a la Carte.

Unbelievable. Nothing if not brazen, former GOP official Randy "Duke" Cunningham, who recently pled guilty to several bribery and fraud charges, actually kept a "bribe menu" with the varying prices it took to buy him off. "The card shows an escalating scale for bribes, starting at $140,000 and a luxury yacht for a $16 million Defense Department contract. Each additional $1 million in contract value required a $50,000 bribe. The rate dropped to $25,000 per additional million once the contract went above $20 million." $140,000? Who do you think you are, Boss DeLay? C'mon, Duke, I could get a Ney or two Frists for that.
