As If This Wasn't Enough

Didja know that the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee is under investigation?

Federal prosecutors have begun an investigation into Rep. Jerry Lewis, the Californian who chairs the powerful House Appropriations Committee, government officials and others said, signaling the spread of a San Diego corruption probe.

The U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles has issued subpoenas in an investigation into the relationship between Lewis (R-Redlands) and a Washington lobbyist linked to disgraced former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-Rancho Santa Fe), three people familiar with the investigation said.

The investigation is part of an expanding federal probe stemming from Cunningham's conviction for accepting $2.4 million in bribes and favors from defense contractors, according to the three sources.

Hey LAAAADDDYYY!!! (that's the best Jerry Lewis impression that can be done with typing) Thank you for the money and the illegal gifts and the hookers and the paying off and the partying and the fat-catting...
