Is Duncan Hunter beyond redemption?
Will Rogers never met a man he didnt like. And, apparently, Duncan D. Hunter never took an oath he didnt violate.
The Alpine Republican congressman whose personal and professional lives ought to be cordoned off by little orange cones due to poor judgment allegedly broke most of the vows he swore to his wife, his country and his constituents.
This week, the Republican walked into a federal courthouse and rolled the dice on a last-ditch attempt to skirt punishment for his sins.
The disgraced lawmaker is accused of misusing more than $250,000 in campaign funds to support a lavish lifestyle. Between 2010 and 2016, he and his wife, Margaret, allegedly dipped into the till to pay for expensive vacations, private-school tuition, dental bills, football tickets and other goodies all while their personal checking account was repeatedly overdrawn.
