I know that many of you have had a <$NoAd$> more and more difficult time keeping track of Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham’s various shenanigans, sweetheart deals, pay-offs and boat transactions. So TPM Media has put together a new Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R) Shenanigan Program & Worksheet (RRDCSPW). We’re entitled v. 1.0 because more bad acts will almost certainly surface which will necessitate further revisions.

On top of that, in classic TPM fashion, we’re holding a contest to see who can fill out the worksheet best in terms of explicating all the dimensions of Duke’s skullduggery.

Above you’ll see the first edition of our RRDCSPW. If you click on the image you can download the printable pdf file. As you can see, the worksheet has Duke along with each fat-cat and/or crony graphically represented along with the respective house and/or boat.

Now, in the second image, you’ll see that the proprietor of this little operation has somewhat clumsily tried to fill out the worksheet noting who paid for which boat and which house and how the different shenanigans interlock with each other. But clearly if the sheet is going to be filled out in a way that other TPM Readers and journalists can readily understand it, it’s going to have to be done a lot better.

And that’s where our contest comes in. If you’d like to enter the contest and have the chance of winning not only the soon-to-be-released TPMCafe t-shirt but also the new TPMCafe mug, download the worksheet. Then fill it out in a way that gets as much information on the page while also making it as clear and as easy to understand as possible.

Entries will be judged on the basis of content, aesthetic excellence and general mockery and schadenfreude. Entries should be returned in a scanned image or pdf format and will be accepted through the 15th. Winners will be announced at TPMCafe.
