Cheney to attend fundraiser for congressman caught with prostitute.
Channel 10 News in San Diego reports that Vice President Dick Cheney attend a fundraiser for Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA) tomorrow and “will also deliver an address at a reception for Rep. Calvert at a private residence in San Clemente.” CREW named Calvert one of the “22 most corrupt members of Congress,” as he has a number of ethical improprieties:
– Made huge profits for himself and his personal firm off his own earmark.
– Rewarded K Street firm under federal investigation with pork projects.
– In July 2007, a grand jury said the sale of four acres of public land to Calvert and his investment partners in 2005 violated California state law.
– Traveled to Saudi Arabia with convicted Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham in 2004.
In 1993, Calvert was caught by police with a prostitute in a parked car in California and tried to drive away from the scene. “We’re just talking, that’s all,” he told police as he “continued to cover his unzipped pants with his hand,” according to a police report.

August 12th, 2008 at 10:51 amAt least he was caught with a woman.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:53 amWasn't Richard Nixon from San Clemente? How appropriate.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:54 amGotta love those fine, ...upstanding... Republicans!!
August 12th, 2008 at 10:54 amSince McSame wanted his wife to run for Ms. Buffalo Chip... would that mean he would be Mr. Buffalo Chip? Please, oh please, just make sure he keeps his shirt on.

Referencing the previous blog post: ...if physical size is such an important consideration, the current Vice President shouldn’t have been selected
- - An oogy trend is developing.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:58 amLet's see how much air time this gets on the MSM
August 12th, 2008 at 10:59 amVP aide; Mr. Cheney, do you really think you should be at a fundraiser for Mr Calvert? I mean, after all, he was caught with a prostitute.
Cheney:SO?
August 12th, 2008 at 11:00 amHey unbelievable, all we'll hear are the crickets.
August 12th, 2008 at 11:01 amI am far more concerned about Calvert's ethical improprieties concerning earmarks, land sales, and other personal benefits at the expense of taxpayers than I am about a 15-year old incident with a prostitute.
I would think that having this guy around is kind of like keeping Ted Stevens around -- why? All he does is make the GOP look bad (well, OK -- worse).
Oh. Right. The Republicans need every single one of them to win their seats again in November, no matter how corrupt they are.

As usual. Those people do not deserve to call themselves journalists. More like "script readers".
August 12th, 2008 at 11:09 amCalvert appears to be completely immoral and corrupt to the bone... Cheney's kind of guy.
August 12th, 2008 at 11:17 amSpeaking of Californication, why isn't Jerry Lewis in jail yet?
August 12th, 2008 at 11:17 amWonder if he supports the Marriage Protection Act of Senator Rodger Wicker that is cosponsored by Senator David Vitter and Senator Larry Craig - he would be in good company with those two Senators. Bye the way, took the time to write Senator Wicker asking about his two cosponsors of this Marriage Protection Act and the hypocrisy involved - received not a word.
August 12th, 2008 at 11:18 am“We’re just talking, that’s all,” he told police as he “continued to cover his unzipped pants with his hand,” according to a police report.
Well, maybe he was talking. She obviously wasn't.

Whittier, actually, but his "Summer White House" was in San Clemente.

Hey, they gotta stick together and appear tough.
They do have a public image to maintain, you know.
Sad that Americans keep taking their B.S. ...NO?
Law? That's used to keep the "Have nots" in line.

Because Carol Lam, the US Attorney who busted the Dukestir (R-CA), and was hot on the trail of Jerry Lewis (R-CA), was fired by Alberto Gonzales before she could prosecute the dirty Republican.
August 12th, 2008 at 11:22 amAnyone want to place a countdown bet on when the first troll will show up talking about Edwards?
August 12th, 2008 at 11:26 amWow - already, just as I was writing that last post...
August 12th, 2008 at 11:27 amYou are correct, shoeless!
OTOH, Cheney doesn't have much time for prostitutes.
They're slow moving, rarely feathered, and much harder to shoot, because they only come out at night.
August 12th, 2008 at 11:28 amMorning Nettles:
August 12th, 2008 at 11:30 amYou seem pretty confident. Dare I say over confident. To what do you attribute your great superiority? As a student of behavior I am very interested in the origins of pomposity.

As long as Mukasey is the AG Neither Lewis nor any other Republican has anything to fear from the "Just Us" Department. Mukasey's mission for the remainder of the Bush Administration is to protect all of them from the consequences of their criminal acts.
All we can hope for is a Democratic victory in '08, that the Regents University crowd will all be shown the door and that all the dedicated career employees at Justice will be free to do their jobs.

Now all of you “citizens of the world” have to pray that all those “bitter” working class whities of Hillary’s stay at the Waffle House on that Tuesday morning. Good luck.
Racist, much?

Most of us are too smart to waste our time on something as pointles as prayer.
The hard work of one is worth more than the prayers of a million. (And I can prove it).

August 12th, 2008 at 12:17 pmEven in a room FULL of prostitutes Dick still stands out .
August 12th, 2008 at 12:18 pmAh. Good.
Hey, Nippples - Obama's leading in the polls by 7 points, and in the electoral college...
And FWIW, I'm white, middle-class, female and over 50 - and I'm voting for Obama.
Any questions, dearie, or just more BS?
August 12th, 2008 at 12:19 pmInstead of meeting at a neighborhood Italian restaurant, these crooks meet privately at each others' homes. Salute!
August 12th, 2008 at 12:19 pmI can only guess that Calvert requested Cheney's presence because Dick is the one you want standing next to you in order for you to NOT look like the most corrupt person in the room.
August 12th, 2008 at 12:21 pmEven in a room FULL of prostitutes Dick still stands out but the ghost of Milton Friedman IS still coming and his pimps are everywhere !
August 12th, 2008 at 12:27 pmSkittles, you got it bassackwards. For decades I have heard conservatives tell liberals how morally superior they are. It's always "vote for me because I don't have the wrong type of sex and my opponent does!".
August 12th, 2008 at 12:27 pmNett@20
Which one of the dems is a member of the warmongering repug party? Which one of the dems is soaked in boy-sex or oil money? Who's toe tapping beside your president and craig?
Now run along to your backwardass repug blog and have a fun session making up lies about petty shit.
August 12th, 2008 at 12:33 pmHow fitting, since Cheney and Calvert both went to the fundraiser in order to prostitute themselves.
August 12th, 2008 at 12:53 pmAny chance Calvert could hook up DC with a working girl? Wouldn't it be upsetting for DC's batteries to short out?
August 12th, 2008 at 1:29 pmMaybe the two of them will go hunting....
Facists never change their behaviours!
August 12th, 2008 at 2:27 pmCalvert has been my Congressman for a while. It's truly discouraging that residents of this area (which has been one of the hardest hit by the subprime loan debacle) are more interested in big pimpin' and little interested in how they have been punked by guys like Calvert and my current Congressman, Rep. Lewis. They've started to wake up now but Calvert and Lewis have practically fled Dodge now.
August 12th, 2008 at 2:32 pmSpeaking of politicians and prostitutes, I wonder how the investigation into the DC madam's clients is going. Long time no hear anything. Are they saving the surprises for the elections, or is Mukasey and other Just Us paper shufflers going to sit on it until after January?
August 12th, 2008 at 3:43 pmYup, those men of God, Why I'm quite sure that Cheney is going to spread the gospel to this "sinner" and the prostitutes who hung out with him.../extreme snark

When you Lyndon LaRouche-bags want to dismont from your morality high horse, you might want to remember the names, Sharpe James, Kwame Kilpatrick, Jim McGreevey, Bill Clinton, Gavin Newsome, Antonio Villaigrosa, Elliott Spitzer and John Edwards. Classy cats, one and all.
Bush prob the most unpopular president in modern history. 70-something McCain who can’t take his loafers from out of his mouth vs. dynamic rock-star candidate for “change”. If ever there was a lop-sided tale of the tape, this would be it. Obama was going to borrow his buddy Spitzer’s steamroller on 4 November. Yet, here we are, separated by less than 5 points heading into the conventions. What happened to Obama’s magic? Must have left it in Berlin. Had Democrats not bought into their own axiom that they are morally superior to all other Americans, they would have wrapped this thing up a long time ago. Now all of you “citizens of the world” have to pray that all those “bitter” working class whities of Hillary’s stay at the Waffle House on that Tuesday morning. Good luck.
Funny, which party claimed to be God's Own Party (GOP?) I'll give you a hint, it wasn't the Democratic Party that claimed to be the party of morality, it wasn't the Democratic Party that sought to paint the GLBT community as tainted and damned, it wasn't the Democratic Party that tried to get into your private bedroom and your business. Projection, it's the only thing you 'Publicans know how to do...besides funneling money to your coffers and that of your cronies...
