What (sic) next for Duke Cunningham?

Convicted felon "Duke" Cunningham

What next for Duke Cunningham?

June 8, 2013

Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the disgraced former North County congressman, took his nickname from John Wayne, the larger than life Hollywood star whose Westerns sometimes ended with him riding off into the sunset.

The question now is whether Cunningham will do the same.

Will the 71-year-old Vietnam War ace, released Tuesday from federal custody after serving more than seven years in a $2.4 million bribery case, quietly retreat to a small cabin in rural Arkansas and wait for what he's called "my last flight into the wild blue yonder"?

Or will he take the route of countless scandal-plagued politicians before him and climb back into the spotlight, maybe on the speaking circuit or with a book promising the inside story of his spectacular fall from grace?
