Duke Cunningham Is Less Popular Than Raw Nuts
From Indecision 2008…
In
the waning days of President Bush's time in office, convicted criminals
are coming out of the woodwork in hopes of a presidential pardon. Among
them is former-Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-CA), but as TPM points out, there may not be a great deal of support for the disgraced lawmaker:
We noticed that there are only 13 signatures on an online petition designed to demonstrate public support for a pardon, even though it was posted nearly three years ago — just two days after Cunningham pleaded guilty to accepting more than $2.4 million in bribes.
The 66-year-old, who has a history of prostate cancer, was later sentenced to 100 months in prison.
Ouch. To help put that in perspective, an anti-almond-pasteurizing petition started a year-and-a-half ago on the same site has over 23,000 signatures.
Even a two-week-old petition favoring a Castlevania 3 remake has 112 supporters.
At this point, I'd wager more people would want to go naked hottubbing with Cunningham than pardon him.
