Now that Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham is at Club Fed serving his time for corruption, the House of Representatives has two more wackos whose constituents should be ashamed for having elected them.

I'm not a big fan on the "wall" that's supposedly in place between church and state in this country because it's most commonly used to try to silence religious people.
