Duke Cunningham ask for a pardon from Bush.

Former California GOP congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham and Louisiana's Democratic ex-governor Edwin W. Edwards, both convicted of corruption, are among the people seeking a presidential pardon before Bush steps down in January. Scooter Libby, whose sentencing in 2007 for perjury, obstruction of justice, and lying to investigators during the investigation of the Valerie Plame leak Bush commuted last year, is not on the list. During his eight years in office, Bush has granted only 157 pardons, just 17 more than the 140 Clinton granted during the final days of his tenure. (Washington Post)
