Adventures on the Duke-stir.

Adventures on the Duke-stir.»

dukestir.jpgSome grisly details about criminal former Rep. Duke Cunningham and his crony hot-tub parties on his old boat, The Duke-stir.

For one thing, Wilkes was totally disgusted by the hot tub Cunningham put on the boat’s deck during the autumn and winter. What repelled Wilkes — and others invited to the parties — was both the water Cunningham put in the hot tub and the congressman’s penchant for using it while naked, even if everybody else at the party was clothed. Cunningham used water siphoned directly from the polluted Potomac River and never changed it out during the season. “Wilkes thought it was unbelievably dirty and joked if you got in there it would leave a dark water line on your chest,” said one person familiar with the parties. “The water was so gross that very few people were willing to get into the hot tub other than Duke and his paramour.” That was a reference to Cunningham’s most frequently seen girlfriend, a flight attendant who lived in Maryland.

Digg It!

    I think I vomited in my mouth a little bit …


  5. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    Wow…It sounds like Duke is practicing for the afterlife, where he’ll be wallowing in excrement for all eternity.

    Of maybe he does it because he has delusions of demonhood…

    Either way, it’s disturbing.


  6. Midwest Product Says:

    You left out the revelation that he eats his Filet Mignon “very well done” with iceberg lettuce. Just as bad, says I…


  7. hil Says:

    classy!


  8. Craig Mack Says:

  9. brian Says:

    yeah, change the emphasis to the part about sitting in pollution - what’s wrong with hot-tubbing naked?


  10. hil Says:

    #3 Patrick,
    I know stuff like this appears ordinary to you and your ilk… but those of us who live in civilization perfer NOT to bathe in sewage…

    just keep that in mind for referance, So when you converse with humans in the future you won’t come off looking like a total ass


  11. heyzeus Says:

    Reminds me of the scene from “Caligula”, the festering sore covered Roman emperor immersing in scum covered murky water with his sex slaves….
    (Sorry, hope no one is eating lunch yet……)


  12. Patrick1 Says:

    With Congress imploding, unable to pass anything but reparations for Guam from the attack by ..you guessed it…the JAPS! ..the only story TP can come up with is some Congressman’s boat?

  14. Jay Randal Says:

  15. BluGrrl Says:

  16. Patrickin1 Says:

    Patrick in a rowboat.
    49 miles offshore in a hurricane.


  17. whiteyfresh Says:

    er, how is Congress “imploding”? You know, If you say something, it really helps if you back it up, PEE1


  18. DRxJ Says:

    Patrick1nut is still getting his “post it” points from a right wing blog, I see.
    some things never change.


  19. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) Says:

    Is the Dukster still partying naked? I’ll bet he’s not doing the “can you see me now” routine in the boat he currently is in.


  20. Democratic Sycamore Says:

    I wonder if the Dukester has web access in prison. And if he does, I wonder if he’s reading this.

    If so, hello, Duke! You’re nasty!


  21. CompTROLLER V-1 Says:

    Nobody ever told Duke he was old and crusty.


  22. VerbalKint Says:

    ick


  23. Jay Randal Says:

    Can you imagine seeing Cunningham naked drinking booze on a boat? Just the sight of him could cause you to go blind or have heart attack.


  24. solai Says:

    Sorry, I don’t buy it. The man was used to the finer things in life. And, surely, the girlfriend would have objected. This does not ring true.


  25. RUCerious Says:

    Once again, RUC-Imagination Bleach is available, but only in 25 gallon drums for cleaning up this image…


  26. Jay Randal Says:

    So GOPers had big parties on a boat with Cunningham running around naked, smelling like sewage from the Potomac river, as the Duke rubbed his wanger on the guests. Sounds like a party Bush would like.


  27. Jay Randal Says:

    solai LOL > Duke was given reproduction antiques and thought they were real, so he had ZERO class.


  28. ForTruth Says:

    Grody!


  29. heyzeus Says:

    He was probably used to the harbor in Long Beach, anyways.


  30. Wilco Says:

    Cunningham was dumb enough to keep a bribe menu.
    I think he’d be dumb enough to hottub in potomac water.
    But still, I don’t see the big deal either (although it is funny)
    If you swim in the potomac, why not hot tub in it
    THe creepy part for me is that he’s naked when other people in the tub are not.


  31. heyzeus Says:

    #30
    “THe creepy part for me is that he’s naked when other people in the tub are not.”

    That’s more weird, than creepy, do you think he had a dry change of clothes for them?
    Was that part of his entertainment?
    “Here, put this on… heheheh…..”


  32. ForTruth Says:

    Whaddaya call a guy in a hottub with no arms or legs?

    Bob,

    or,

    Stew.

    Just keep it stirred.


  33. Jay Randal Says:

    Wilco > Duke must of thought if he ran around naked, then maybe somebody would get horny to go to bed with him, but since he smelled like the river and had sewage dripping off him from the water, he repulsed everybody but they still desired the free booze and the food.


  34. IgnoranceIsNotBliss Says:

    That’s just damn disgusting.


  35. Technodaoist Says:

    ick.

    just…

    ick…


  36. Zimzone Says:

    The article failed to mention he was not naked; he was wearing his Depends.


  37. heyzeus Says:

    Maybe the Dukester was trying to sell himself to the “defense contractors” as an offensive weapon…


  38. Oversight is a Bitch. Says:

    Pond scum: meet pond scum.


  39. Crump's Brother Says:

    Dumb Post. Unnecessary TP. No one cares about DukeStirs dirty lifestyle.

    NEXT!!!


  40. Jay Randal Says:

    And what about all the other boaters on the Potomac river? Did any of them see the Duke-Stir parties with him running around naked? Did Cunningham moon them or play with himself in front of them? Who would want to go boating on the Potomac anyways?


  41. Ben B Says:

    Can we add a picture of the Duke to this story, just so people can have a reminder of how disgusting this man must have been naked?


  42. Wilco Says:

    Jay enough talk of Duke running around naked!

    Please, I go to lunch in an hour!


  43. GOP==DEM==WEREFCKED Says:

    Reminds me of that old joke

    Four gay guys sitting around in a hot tub.. One guy notices some “white stuff” floating around and says… “Ok who farted?”


  44. ForTruth Says:

    He probably peed in there too.


  45. Sharon Says:

    You all are a riot, very funny but now I have to go barf at the thought of this nut bag in sludge and naked,,,,Yuck!..There went my breakfast…..Blessings


  46. Wilco Says:

    Nut bag, Sharon? Enough naked Duke jokes!


  47. Buck Fush Says:

    Ewwwww! Super yuckie !!! (urp)

    Hating the repukian mafia daily


  48. Bluedog49 Says:

    Let’s not forget that Duke Cunningham stood on the floor of congress and called Bill Clinton and John Kerry traitors. He also called Al Gore a liar. He self-righteously questioned their patriotism and conservatives everywhere nodded and applauded.


  49. Zimzone Says:

    Thank you, Bluedog.
    You are correct, sir.

    Lest we forget, how ’bout Dunkin Donuts Hunter?
    He up to his knees in this doo-doo, and if Carol Lam hadn’t suffered Rove’s Revenge, we might have company for the ‘ol Dukester.


  50. Zooey Says:

    I’m glad I haven’t eaten yet, because I feel like I need to throw up.


  51. Jay Randal Says:

    I have a friend who rented a canoe to paddle on the Potomac river for an hour. He said he put his hand in the water and it was coated with a film of oil and he said it smelled like rotting fish. When I was in DC I looked at the river from bridges and lots of trash floated in it, so it looked nasty.


  52. trippin Says:

    A Republican wallowing around in feces? That’s news?


  53. Hypocrisy Says:

    Uncertain why this is actually ‘news’ and worthy of being on TP. What is the point here?


  54. gorn by any other name Says:

    ..the only story TP can come up with is some Congressman’s boat? - Patrick1

    Actually, I count this as one of 14 stories listed on TP so far today, and it’s only 10:33 PT as I type.

    He said he put his hand in the (Potomac) and it was coated with a film of oil - Jay Randal

    Ah, a self-righteous warmongering Republican felon wallowing in oil. Now it’s all making sense.


  55. George H. W. Bush Says:

    The water from the Potomac isn’t really that bad. It didn’t leave the ring until Duke put his filthy self in it.


  56. rabbit Says:

    Potomac is good to swim in. Has been for ten years or more. About the guy having sex: I thought Jerry Falwell was dead. Someone here trying to be his replacement? Stick to the relevant issues please.
