THE NOOSES TIGHTEN AROUND JERRY LEWIS' SCRAWNY, CROOKED NECK

Today's Washington Post, in an editorial called The Favor Factory, gets into some of the nitty gritty of how House Appropriations Committee Chairman/GOP crime kingpin Jerry Lewis and his associates became fabulously wealthy feasting at the public trough. Although this is hardly news to DWT readers (refresh your memories here and here for starters) Lewis' criminal rampage has gone largely unreported by the national mass media.

If you're wondering how the Post came up with the awesome title, they had a real pro working on it. According to the Post "Jack Abramoff memorably dubbed [the House Appropriations Committee] the 'favor factory.'" And, of course, Lewis' favors were being done exclusively for those who paid him off.


UPDATE: JERRY LEWIS-- STILL THE MOST HEINOUS CREEPY CRAWLY THING IN CONGRESS

The only reason I have been keeping up the barrage on the Lewis front is because from what I can tell Louie Contreras isn't even really running! I hope I'm wrong but there zero activity on his website, no one answers his office phone, he doesn't return e-mail messages and when I dialed the cell phone number I always used to reach him on someone answered and said it was her new number.

What a shame. Lewis is the single most corrupt man in Congress. Just today another Lewis scandal came oozing to the surface. Making the ultra rich uber rich-- namely Jerry Lewis.
