Brent and Dusty: Still Crazy After All These Years “Dusty” Foggo was a security guard at the Chula Vista (Calif.) Sears. Brent Wilkes was a high school football star. Wilkes and Foggo always had wild parties, women, and fast cars. Foggo became #3 at the CIA; Wilkes became a millionaire defense contractor. And now both men are under scrutiny by federal investigators for being at the heart of what is alleged to be a widespread ring of bribery, prostitution and corruption. “They’re doing the same thing they did in high school. They’re just 30 years older.” (10News, via War&Piece)Cunningham Probe Reaches Top Ranks of House GOP Federal investigators are probing ties between egregiously corrupt former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-CA) and Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA), one of the most powerful members of Congress.

Money quote: When asked about the probe, Lewis replied, “For goodness sake, why would they be doing that?” (LA Times)
