A White House link to the Duke Cunningham scandal? David Corn writes:
"In that note to Joshua Bolten, President Bush's chief of staff, Waxman requested information about a $140,000 contract the White House awarded in July 2002 to MZM, Inc. This was Mitchell Wade's company. What's intriguing about the contract Wade received from the White House is that its amount equals the exact price Wade paid in August 2002 to buy the Duke-Stir, the yacht 'Duke Cunningham lived (and partied) on in Washington. This raises the intriguing possibility that Wade that summer needed money to buy Cunningham the yacht and - presto - a White House contract materialized."
