KEN CALVERT, CAUGHT WITH A HOOKER, CAUGHT IN A REAL ESTATE EARMARK SCAM, SLATED FOR HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
And the 44th CD has been represented in Congress by a greasy former real estate speculator as sleazy as the day is long (or, in summer, short), Ken Calvert. A gross little porky-pig looklaike, he was once arrested-- as a congressman-- with a prostitute giving him head in his car. (Yes, yes-- he's as much for Republican "family values" as the rest of them and, like most of them, flatly refuses to honor his word to step down after 6 terms.)Even as a Congressman, Calvert is always on the make for a quick buck. His latest trick, a fave of many Republicans (they must all use the same financial advisor-- and ethics advisor), is buying cheap land and then using GOP crime boss Jerry Lewis to get dodgey earmarks secretly added to bills that directly increase the value of the property. House Speaker Denny Hastert was just caught with a $2 million dollar profit at this game, as were several Republicrook California congressmen, Gary Miller and Calvert.But now Calvert is going for the really big bucks. Enough of the grubby and unseemly real estate deals that have been making him richer and richer. The chiseling far right extremist wants a shot at Lewis' uber-lucrative House Appropriations Committee, which oversees a trillion dollars annually. Moreon the story
On a side note: his buddy, Jerry Lewis, is still being investigated and will be soon indicted. Look for Calvert's name added to the list real soon.

Another religious values officials bits the dust. No wonder the war in on within the GOP. Calvert has milked Riverside for years and lived large off the Lobbist money while getting those big raises from the taxpayers. No wonder these guys will do anything to stay in office. I hope the indictions come before the end of Oct. Most of the people here are older and might not know the sleeze Calvert is. Let's hope we can clean up Riverside California at lease.
