Grapes and Sex and Government Contracts

Talk about low-hanging fruit:

A prostitute testified Wednesday that former U.S. Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham fed her grapes as she sat naked in a Jacuzzi before they headed to a bedroom at a Hawaiian resort.

The woman testified at the bribery trial of defense contractor Brent Wilkes, who is accused paying the former congressman with $700,000 in cash and perks in exchange for help securing about $90 million in government contracts.

Wilkes has denied the charges.

I have as many grapes as a contractor can eat in exchange for finishing my kitchen.

The Associated Press has the story.
