Take A Number and Wait in Line
Republican Congressmen now have to take a number and wait in line to resign.
The latest is California Congressmuck Duncan Hunter. Hunter is being investigated along with his parents and a female lobbyist he is suspected to be “romantically involved” with. “Romantically involved” is the Republican word for “boinking on the side.”
It strongly appears that Hunter has misspent campaign funds.
According to an ethics report released along with the disclosure, Hunter “may have converted tens of thousands of dollars of campaign funds from his congressional campaign committee to personal use to pay for family travel, flights, utilities, healthcare, school uniforms and tuition, jewelry, groceries and other goods, services, and expenses.”
Hunter’s staff also told the Riverside Press-Enterprise in January that he used campaign funds to pay the $600 cost of flying a family rabbit.
This ain’t the first time Hunter has been in trouble for spending campaign funds for fun. Over a year ago, he had to repay his campaign for 68 video games (he said his son used the wrong credit card), oral surgery, a family trip to Italy and Disneyland gift shop purchases.
You think he would have learned. But, nooooo …. Trump got elected and made them bulletproof.
Or maybe not.
Thanks to Chloe Bear for the heads up.
Not to quibble, but this person is Duncan *D.* Hunter, the son of Duncan Hunter (former CA rep).
Maybe the person posting could include a link to the subject’s wiki page?
That swamp is draining into the orifices (and offices) of the GOP faster than ever…
1How in the hell does it cost $600 to ship a rabbit? Were they serving cocktails and providing complimentary bunny massages?
I’ve shipped full grown Rottweilers for less than that much…
2Um, please don’t tell me the rabbit’s name is Harvey. And he is actually a Pookah. Hence the high freight.
3Isnt this Hunter the Junior that ran in 2006 or 2008 for his retiring Daddy’s seat? As if that seat in the House is a birthright. What an mfsob. I mean Republican. Hope he is soon indicted as well.
4Correction; the article says “Conngressmuck” Hunter. I believe you meant “congressshmuck”.
5Glad to check your Texas yiddish.
Meet California’s Dumber than Dog Dump Squad: Dana, Darrell, Devin and Duncan. There’s a pattern there; an “R” after their names on the ballot.
6I imagine the rabbit had its own seat in first class, complete with complementary carrots.
7I am sure the happy bunny was not in economy class, being squeezed tighter than a tick……..
8He’s blaming his wife.
9And son.
Did someone not think to stop those video purchases after the first
25 or so? Think Someone should have noticed 68 video games!!!!!
Everybody does it. Even Pious Mike:

10Hey! I have a brilliant idea! ALL the Republicans resign in one shot!! Think of all the time it will save!
11Trump or not, I should think his father would have taught him how to enrich himself at the public teat without getting caught
12Anybody else get the sense that his marriage as well as his career may be over?
13AK Lynne: “complete with complementary carrots”,
And the lucky bunnyhopper had an Orangey Mary too! Ahhh, first class. (Carrot juice and vodka, maybe that’s what Dump drinks?)
