Duke Cunningham to be released from jail

Former Congressman was convicted on bribery related charges

By Brian Leubitz

Well, the Duke-Stir is looking to make his way in the big world, after he gets out of the joint today.

Cunningham, 71, is due to be released Tuesday. He told a federal judge last year that he planned to live near his mother and brother in a remote part of Arkansas, writing books in a small cabin. But in a brief interview with The Associated Press in April, he said he might settle with military friends in Florida, where he would write his memoirs.(AP)

It’s been a while since we heard all the lurid details of cunningham’s bribery filed exploits. But with the bulk of the former congressman’s district by freshman Rep Scott Peters, the district is probably getting much better representation.

Heres a UT timeline of the Duke’s scandals.
