To be fair, it's a common name. How many people named Smith do you suppose were involved with scandals?

William Kennedy Smith although he got acquitted quickly (and is in fact a direct nephew of JFK as his mother was one of JFK’s sisters).

Democratic State Senator Malcolm Smith

For Cal Cunningham though, his scandal doesn’t even compare to Randy ‘Duke’ Cunningham’s.

Both of them are the only politicians since the 2000’s I can think of with the last name Cunningham who have had scandals.
