"In Washington, D.C., Mr. Hunter was a fixture on the bar scene, and spent lavishly -- over $400 for 30 tequila shots at a bachelor party, and countless fancy dinners. He visited one of his favorite bars sometimes multiple times a day, piling up thousands of dollars in bar tabs. On occasion, he would get into loud arguments with patrons, once over the choice of music on the jukebox (he hated Celine Dion)."

"The missteps began not long after he was elected to Congress, prosecutors now say. Mr. Hunter spent little time at home, preferring the high life of Washington to sedate suburbia, and when he did come home he spent a lot of time playing golf."

"Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican congressman from Southern California, defended Mr. Hunter in an interview, saying, 'I know Duncan Hunter as a heroic Marine and he's been a damn good congressman.' He said he was unsure how the allegations might impact the election, but said that Mr. Hunter is 'incredibly well respected by his constituents.'"

The full-throated endorsement by Congressman Rohrabacher, who's himself under fire from his Orange County constituents and under federal scrutiny for his apparent Russian-coddling ways, isn't exactly helpful.

The political question for November is exactly how blind an eye GOP-leaning voters in California are willing to turn toward the embarrassing shenanigans of Rohrbacher, Hunter and Devin Nunes. Recent polling shows that even in traditionally reliable Republican districts, the collective impact of all these scandals in Washington is clearly straining their constituents' loyalties.

My boss hasn't paid for a car, a cell phone bill, a ticket to the ball game or Broadway, an erotic dancer, or even a case of golf balls since he inherited the company...but even he ain't so cheap and greedy to try to expense his f*ckin' New Balances.  At least I hope he isn't...I'm privy, but not totally privy lol.

We have a saying where I work..."owning a business is a license to steal".  Same holds true for holding elected office.
