The duke who lives like a king

Things are starting to look seriously bad for California Republican Randy "Duke" Cunningham.

First was the sweetheart deal on one of his estates that saved him $750,000, and the contractor who helped him out tens of millions in government money.

Now it looks like his 43-foot yacht, the mighty "Duke Stir" is actually owned by someone else.

And he's been taking trips abroad paid for by another land baron in his home district.

Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert is ready to let this guy go down-- helps divert attention from DeLay's corruption, don't you know...
