Now, it has come to my attention that maybe some of you just aren't keeping up with the evolution of a scandal. So, for those of you that may have missed out on this week's installment of Duke and Porter's Excellent Adventure, let me fill you in.

Randy "Duke" Cunningham was removed from his position as the official Congressional Representative of the great city of San Diego (way to pick 'em Ryan) a few months back amid a mountain of allegations ranging from bribery to abuse of power. Since then the ever-growing snowball of corruption has not only reached the size of Pee Wee Herman's Aluminum Foil Ball, but may soon become our second moon.

Randy"Duke"Cunninghamgate quickly begat Hookergate, or as Wonkette has been referring to it, Watergategate (which is the best title for a gate EVER). A quick synopsis of Watergategate would be this: The Dukester's close buddy (and bribery contemporary) Brent Wilkes used lavish parties held at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC to persuade our loyal public servants to see things from his point of view. The problem being that these parties were what essentially amounts to drunken, Romanesque orgies complete with gambling, boozing and of course prostitutes. After all, what Washington scandal would be complete without the mandatory hooker parade.

Then came Friday...

Hot on the heels of Watergategate the American people were treated to an unexpected and rather hastily thrown together press conference wherein the President of the United States announced the resignation of CIA director Porter Goss. President Bush didn't remark on his career accomplishments, insist that the regretted accepting his resignation or even tell him that he'd been doing a "heckuva job." Nope, the president looked happier to get rid of Goss than Gary Condit in a city park (did I really just write that?). Which is odd, considering that Bush appointed Goss, stood up for Goss, and very rarely turns his back on his appointees... for God's sake, Don Rumsfeld is still the Secretary of Defense.

So, why is Goss going the way of the Dodo? Well, sources indicate that he was deeply tied into the Watergategate/Hookergate scandal... and the best part... the prostitutes may not have been women. Woo Hoo, folks, hold onto your seats 'cause it's gonna be one hell of a summer in Washington DC!
