On-Topic .. Randy "Duke" Cunningham ... The "Dukester"

How soon one forgets (or ignores) the Democrats' escapades.

This scheme is produced in three scales by Yellowhammer:

1/72 In all three cases you will need to make some changes to this scheme as it represents the aircraft with an earlier kill marking that wasn't worn at the time of Cunningham's famous mission on 10 May 72. For more details see: Of course, you can't represent the aircraft *after* the mission as it was shot down while leaving the combat area.

???

I'm missing something here.

Oh - now I see what caused that smell.

WmB

Erm.... that's my feet! Sorry! ;-)

Hey, everyone steps in a little /V every once and a while. ;-)

WmB

Aha! I see now from looking at preveious posts from the OP that he probably wasn't really interested in decal sheets of Showtime 100. It seems to me that he's a politically motivated troll looking to start an argument, and I fell for it. My apologies to the group! :-)

Did you put any decals on your model of the Bill Clinton Cigar or on your diorama of the Whitewater Project????

they're all a buncha freakin crooks. inherent in the system.

Yeah...that's my take on it.

Not to mention that I'm SERIOUSLY skeptical on the timing and attention that Carter's new book is getting...

I wouldn't go as far to say they're all crooks, but I have yet to see one come back from DC worse off than when he or she left.

The saddest commentary is knowing that there is one moonbat out there that would have given Cunningham a pass this a.m. in RMS if he simply had a (D) after his name. What a world.... what a world...

WmB

that would also fit the pattern.

skunks have no party boundries.

Yep, that's pretty much /V in a nutshell. Emphasis on **NUT**. KF the freak and be happy.

Anybody ever seen any of Vess' modeling examples?

Sad about Cunningham. Had dinner with him once before he got into politics and he was a really nice guy with several great stories about his flying days. Met him again at an IPMS Nats. where he told several of those stories. The best one involved a night flight, an airlner and a flashlight.

Never liked him much as a poltician, but then I have never met a single politician that I would trust with anything.

You should be the last one to talk about anything regarding personal credibility Vess, as you promised us you would never post here again after your humiliation of being 180-degrees off in your election prediction. Yet, here you are, again.

Hey nitwit, he didn't *steal* the $2,000,000, and it doesn't appear he stole anything at all. Do English words have any meaning to you? You cannot just substitute words you think are more pejorative than the correct ones to make a more emphatic statement. But you are a lying, hypocritical, troll who cannot understand that you are unwanted, so I guess things like that don't apply to you.

Funny...I met him once too. I had to reconfigure a jet so he could take a ride in it...just because he was a congessman.

And even under those circumstances - as we were briefing - he struck me more as a politician than as a fighter pilot. Other than that, I don't know the guy, but it just goes to show, I guess - you are/become as you associate...

At least he served, numbnuts.

Nope. Just this, (and God knows what it cost the taxpayers in unnecessary purchases and overcosts):

=95 $200,000 toward the purchase of his Arlington, Va., condominium.

=95 $140,000 to a third party for the "Duke-Stir" yacht, which was moved to his boat slip for his use.

=95 $16,867.13 to a marine services company for repairs to his own yacht, the "Kelly C."

=95 $12,000 paid to an antique store for three night stands, a leaded glass cabinet, a washstand, a buffet and four armoires.

=95 $6,632 paid to a furniture store for a leather sofa and a sleigh-style bed.

=95 $7,200 paid to an antique store for a circa 1850 Louis Phillipe period commode and a circa 1830 Restoration period commode.

=95 $13,500 toward the purchase of a Rolls-Royce.

=95 $17,889.96 for repairs to the Rolls-Royce.

=95 $11,393.56 paid to a moving company to ship his belongings from his Arlington condominium to his San Diego-area home.

=95 $2,081.30 paid to a Washington, D.C., hotel for his daughter's graduation party.

=95 $9,200 paid to a manufacturer for two Laser Shot shooting simulators.

=95 $10,000 paid to various hotels, resorts and restaurants for his meals and entertainment expenses.

=95 Hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash to him and a company he controlled.

There's a reason the Navy "allowed" him to resign.
