OC BLOG (CA): Penetrating insights from behind the Orange Curtain

 
 
 

Party On, Loretta

Posted by: Jubal | 08/27/2008 2:15 PM

A must-see video on TMZ: an impromptu sidewalk interview with Rep. Loretta Sanchez (H/T to Total Buzz).

I'm sure her potential rivals for a statewide run in 2010 have already watched it several times with smiles on their faces.

What is she ON?

The video is comical. She is clearly intoxicated. But if you want serious entertainment, go to the TMZ site and read the blog comments under this video. It seems Playgirl Loretta has been very very naughty with her married military escort. Wow. That could be a serious scandal.

Jubal, you might want to check out what 4granTed is talking about. Here's the link to the comment section: http://www.tmz.com/2008/08/26/loretta-stoned-congresswoman-high-on-life/2#comments

Look at comments 22 and 24. Google the name that they bring up and you'll find that the officer that is named is the same Guantanamo prosecutor that sent the letter to the OC Register correcting Tom Umberg's length of service.

I'd do the research, but don't have the time. Sounds interesting though.

D'Anconia:

All the comments after #15 are now gone. Coincidence?

You didn't happen to save the page as an HTML file, did you?

Jubal, no I saw the comments easily enough. The alleged paramour is Jack Einwechter.

(Now there's a word you don't hear much anymore . . . paramour.)

Jubal said:

Weird. When I click on the links to page 2 and 3 of the comments, or "next 15 comments," etc., I just get white space after the text ads. And that's in both IE and Firefox.

I was told that this is a photo of the lovebirds from Loretta's website (he's the one in the blue shirt--Pentagon escorts wear civilian clothes on duty): http://www.lorettasanchez.house.gov/index.php?option=com_zoom&Itemid=116&page=view&catid=1&PageNo=1&key=2&hit=1

The comments are still there...you just need to click to the next page number. From the TMZ comments:

22. Sanchez is worse than worthless, and that will soon be known to her voters and the public at large when her own scandal is revealed in the coming weeks. A sex scandal involving a woman politician is rare, but Sanchez has managed to create one by having an affair with her assigned Pentagon escort, knowing he is married with children. As a result, the officer left his family and the military and is now her secret (or not-so-secret) lover. As the senior woman on the Armed Services Committee and so-called "champion for military families" this will be a very interesting scandal to watch. Her political opponent has this information and it will soon be made public. Let's see how giddy she is then.

24. Sorry, Rock On, your faith is touching, but totally misplaced. The scandal is true in every detail. I have personal knowledge of the facts. Her "secret" married military lover is Jack Einwechter. It will be proven, and ultimately admitted, by Sanchez. Nobody thought the Edwards allegations were true either. He denied it vehemently--more strongly than Clinton denied Monica--but he finally 'fessed up. She will too.

28. Rock On, I can't really blame you because you have no clue. You like her spirit and think she's pretty. But she destroyed an Army family by seducing a married officer who had the misfortune of being assigned as her official escort. She used official travel to pursue the affair and ultimately persuaded him to leave his wife and children and the Army for her. She has managed to keep it quiet for years, but the family of the officer is angry and feels they have been wronged by a public official, who happens to be the senior woman on the Armed Forces Committee. Sanchez and Einwechter are apparently still lovers, so he has no incentive to tell the truth, but you could google him and contact him for comment. He will probably not talk to you, but that itself will tell you something. This is no joke and the suffering of Einwechter's family is constant and real. The real question is do you care about this? This isn't a political smear job. I am a voter. I don't want a press conference or lawsuit. And this isn't about casting the proverbial first stone either. It is about casting votes and one doesn't need to be sinless to cast a vote. I am simply suggesting that voters in this district should consider the character of their representative. If you believe it is appropriate for a congresswoman to have sex with a married soldier assigned to escort her on official trips, then vote for her. If you can tolerate her claims to be a champion for military families while knowingly destroying an Army family, then vote for her. If you can stomach her claims to be a Catholic while she lives and champions the immoral Playboy lifestyle, then vote for her. If you don't mind thinking about the soldier's broken-hearted kids, then vote for her. If you want a homewrecker to be a role model for your daughters, then vote for her. It is a free country and you are free to ignore her hypocrisy, lies and secret life. Would you want John Edwards to be your rep knowing what you know now? Loretta is just like him. If we can't trust her with her assigned military escort, we probably can't trust her with the power and authority to represent our best interests in Congress and make our laws. If she ignores the boundaries of morality, marriage and propriety on official travel, what boundaries will she respect? I think we can do better. Anyone agree with me? Don't cast stones, just vote accordingly.

Loretta needs a spanking....

Vern Nelson said:

Ah, that's how she always talks in informal settings to guys, that's just flirty funny faux-airhead Loretta. I've seen her act like that when I know she was completely sober. There IS that one part near the end where her eyes aren't all the way open, but I say 50/50, she could just be fatigued. Who knows.

4granTed said:

Trust me, if the allegations on TMZ were not true, Loretta's lawyers would have sued for libel and removal of the comments by now. No one has denied it or even come to her defense. I think it's clear what that means.
