Red State Calls for Moral Hygiene

Failing to learn from the last election cycle, the Republican leadership in the House has put a total sleazebag in a position of power. To wit, one Ken Calvert. Read more about this at the Red State blog.

In 2005, Calvert and a partner paid $550,000 for 4.3 acres of land. Calvert then used his earmarking powers to secure $8 million in funds for an interstate exchange on the property. He then sold the property for about $1 million.

Let's get rid of this jerk immediately. By the way, Congressman, in the government we are routinely instructed to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Get a clue. After that, get a bus ticket home.
