Ooops! Wrong Jerry Lewis. This one is California Rep. Jerry Lewis, Republican chair of the House Appropriations Committee. Talking Points Memo reported that the L.A. Times story fingers not the actor but the Congressman from Redlands, CA. Looks like he was involved in the Duke Cunningham scandal as well. The government is looking into a possible connection between Lewis and his longtime friend Bill Lowery. Lowery, no surprise, was a lobbyist whose clients were awarded earmarked contracts by Lewis' committee.
Doesn't look like this Jerry Lewis will be nearly as funny as the actor, unless you are a Democrat watching on the sidelines as he gets to do the perp-walk.
