Former Republican State Assemblyman Mike Duvall was forced out of office this year when his conversation with a fellow legislator, about supposed sex with two lobbyists, got out. Now a blog post has surfaced accusing Democratic Congresswoman of having relations with two lobbyists in D.C. But Sanchez appears to be getting a free pass.
The man allegedly pictured above is John Saylor, the Director of Federal Programs, Maritime Sector for Halcrow, Inc. Reportedly, Saylor has become romantically involved with Congresswoman Sanchez in recent months. Saylor chaired a conference on “Global Competitiveness and the Impact on US Exports” last month at the Department of Commerce in DC, and the Congresswoman was a scheduled speaker for this same conference,” according to the Latino Politics blog.
The Latino Politics blog post also indicated that Saylor has allegedly “been going around claiming to have slept with Loretta Sanchez and that he vacationed with her in Italy earlier in the year.”
The photo above was supposedly taken in Italy. According to the Latino Politics blog, that “should come as no surprise, as she was just there with the Semester at Sea program during the summer. Another source close to Sanchez had also revealed to me in the past that the Congresswoman had hopes of becoming the ambassador to Italy had Hillary Clinton won the presidential election last year.”
You can see Sanchez talking about her time in the Semester at Sea program in the YouTube video below:
Remember that there were also allegations in the past year about another lobbyist named Jack Einwechter, who also was rumored to have had a relationship with Sanchez. He too ad business before the Congresswoman’s committees.
“John Saylor has aldo, like Jack (John) Einwechter did in the past, contributed to Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez’s re-election campaign fund, dropping $300 back in July of this year,” according to the Latino Politics blog.
Is this the ghost of Loretta Sanchez’ Christmas future?
All of this is happening even as Sanchez is being opposed by two Vietnamese Repbulicans and an independent Latina candidate named Ceci Iglesias. One of the two Republicans, businessman Quang X. Pham, is a moderate who served in the U.S. Marines. The other is the corrupt Mexican hater Van Tran. Predictably, Sanchez’ allies at the Liberal OC blogs are ignoring Tran and attacking Pham.
If Pham wins the primary he will give Sanchez a real run for her money. And Iglesisas will definitely have an affect on this race.
Sanchez may be digging herself quite a hole. She is also holding a fundraiser in Santa Ana today, where she is asking the working families in town to give her at least $240. To do this just before Christmas, in a city beset by foreclosures, is heartless at best…
NICE POST EXPOSE THE GOLD DIGGER. With all due respect to her innocent followers, this lady is not fit to lead.
I like the way you are trying to improve our Latino image.
Viva LatinoPolitics blog also.
“Saylor has allegedly been going around claiming to have slept with Loretta Sanchez”
Is that “Saylor” or was that supposed to read “Sailors” She is on the armed services committee afterall!
Art, this post is below even your standards and I would ask you to please pull it down. If this was a male congressman you would not be writting about it. Loretta and her sister Linda have done so much to help the poor and working classes in Orange County. Loretta is divorced and is allowed to date men if she wants to. Please allow her some space and privacy.
Also Art, just because two people are in a photo together does NOT mean they had sex. To say so is not responsible journalism.
I don’t know who your sources are Art but you got it all wrong. This photos was taken in Italy BUT Mr. Saylor was performing the Heimlich maneuver on her after she choked on a piece of pizza!
oc dem if this a rep they would be all over the person . the dems dont get a pass even if they always do .
Where is the spankings, the “eyepatch underwear,” the dripping on the staircase? Mike set a very high bar to meet! (No, not defending Loretta you nitwits, just trying to be funny…)
hahahahaa, are you sure the male lobbyist wasnt just trying to bang her? If I saw her on the streets of DC, I’d tap that. I mean it doesn’t necessarily mean that he was trying to get business passed in congress. lol
Let the virgin toss the first stone.
The appearance of impropriety occurs when her private affairs are compromising her public obligations. She is definitely receiving some “preferential treatment” from those lobbyists.
OC Democrat — if you read the original blog posting where Art pulled this information from, the author is very careful to say that these are “allegations.” Nobody is pushing this as the truth. Sometimes bloggers throw out information in the hopes of getting more leads or just to clarify a point. Furthermore, nobody is saying that Sanchez did in fact have sex with the guy in the photograph. The original blog clearly states that the info came from a source in DC.
As for the business with Jack Einwechter, look at this post here:
http://latinopoliticsblog.com/2009/06/02/the-making-of-the-%E2%80%9Cloretta-sanchez-scandal%E2%80%9D/
There is a lot of evidence presented in that post, and all Sanchez had to do was confirm or deny that any of it had ever happened. What is so hard about that for a Congresswoman who claims to be a champion of every day people?
Congrats, Adriana, for finally nabbing your Moby Dick!
Vern: Your comment was FUNNY!!! Good man!
Loretta Sanchez Has my support!
My vote will be cast to you.
I’m ready to walk, phonebank, rally
Minus side:
– Inappropriate relationships with lobbyists who have business before her – IF that’s what happened;
Plus side (in comparison to the Big Dripper):
– She’s been divorced for a while;
– She doesn’t have a voting record, or represent a Party, with a hypocritical exaggerated emphasis on “family values” and meddling in the sex lives of her constituents. ( Prop 8 )
YOU SHOULD BE THE LAST TO SPEAK ADMIN
IF YOU SCROLL TO THE TOP OF THE OJ BLOG YOU CAN SEE BEAUTIFUL SANCHEZ WITH TWO OTHER SANTA ANA
COMMUNITY LEADERS
At least her sister Linda had a baby and is not shacking up with any men. I think Lorretta and Linda are good role models for young latinas and they know how we feels.
I guess she’s going for the cougar vote.
http://www.theliberaloc.com/2009/11/30/cecilia-ceci-iglesias-gop-in-an-indepedents-clothing/
Is Adriana is working for Ceci Iglesias, a GOP candidate in Independent’s clothing? We want a REAL Democrat in this district, not some GOP loser. You don’t fool anybody Adriana! All your false ‘scandals’ don’t fool anyone!
Go Loretta!
Rogue, that’s assuming cougars like each other, and are not intrinsically hostile to their fellow poachers. More likely she is pursuing the MILF-fancier demographic.
Hey wait a sec! That guy in the photo is no spring chicken himself.
Funny that Bubbles has to enter the same thing twice? Why doesn’t anyone here call Sanchez’s office and just ask who is the guy in the photo? Quit attributing this to Cece whatever her name is. Do you think Cece staged this photo too?
Who cares who is in the picture. Last time I checked it wasn’t illegal to go out on a date. The GOP, Ceci, and Adriana are desperate. They can’t come up with anything substantial, so they have to resort to innuendo.
Bubbles is an idiot. Adriana has been beyond meticulous in trying to see if there’s any story in this–that Loretta’s office won’t return her calls shows that something is up…
Beyond meticulous? She hasn’t posted any evidence that Sanchez has done anything unethical. Only idiots would infer such a thing based a picture of an unidentified man. And even if the man is who she says it is, nothing unethical has taken place. It’s not illegal to go out on a date.
“they have to resort to innuendo”
If it is innuendo, why didn’t Loretta deny the first alleged relationship with Jack Einwechter when she had a chance to? The writer of the original blog gave Loretta a chance to say “no” and this other blogger did as well:
http://cockroachpeople.com/?p=98
Nobody is accusing Loretta of having done anything “illegal” either. Where did you get that impression? Art didn’t claim that in this blog post and neither did LatinoPoliticsBlog.
And who knows if Cece is desperate or not? Why can’t a third party person run in the 47th District? Loretta Sanchez used to be a Republican, but she then switched her name and party to appeal to the masses in Santa Ana? Some might call that desperate or clever, but let’s face it…Loretta Sanchez is all about serving Loretta Sanchez and the name and party change point to that.
She doesn’t have to explain her private life to some bloggers. You’re ridiculous.
All you fools are going to do is split the vote and enable a Republican to win.
Bubbles says, “All you fools are going to do is split the vote and enable a Republican to win.”
I don’t think that will happen. Loretta Sanchez has a veneer of teflon and at the end of the day sex sells, but this other blogger has an interesting take on it:
Blue Dog Duchess: http://cockroachpeople.com/?p=970
Bubbles: You must be a new-timer to this blog, because there’s few things Art and readers hate than an APOLOGIST. Ooo, you can’t criticize Loretta because the Reeps will take back the seat? Guess what Loretta Brixey was before finding the Santo Niño de Politics?
There is a difference between criticism and lies. She hasn’t done anything wrong, so you’re relying on innuendo to create the appearance of wrongdoing. You call yourself a journalist? Journalists are supposed to rely on facts.
You guys are such idiots. Mike Duvall was married and so were the lobbyists, and he spoke graphically about his exploits with them over an open microphone.
Sanchez hasn’t done anything even remotely like this. Going on a dtate is not unethical. Don’t the schools teach what analogies are anymore?
Bubbles: “Sanchez hasn’t done anything even remotely like this”
Hello and Welcome to OJ, Bubbles. Actually Loretta was allegedly having a steamy affair with some married guy who was assigned to her security detail. When Art did a column on it, some pissed off family member showed up to post about what a trollop Sanchez was and how she was a homewrecker,etc…. It was very spicy stuff and completely out of the blue.
So, yes, Sanchez has been associated with at least one married guy who put her before his family obligations.
Bubbles,
The bottom line is that both Loretta and her sister Linda ar purported to have had affairs with lobbyists. In fact Linda was impregnated by a lobbyist last year and they got married.
Linda by the way was a total carpetbagger when she ran for Congress, in the Whittier area, just as Loretta was a carpetbagger, from Palos Verdes, when she ran for the district she currently serves.
It is unethical for these ladies to sleep with lobbyists, allegedly, who have business with their congressional committees.
Are we to believe that there are no other eligible men for Loretta to pal around with?
It is seriously questionable for politicians, like Loretta and Duvall, to bed their lobbyists, period.
Also, in case you did not know, both Loretta and Linda have been investigated by the House ethics committee, for their numerous ethical lapses.
Tell me, what have these women really done for their constituents?
Who single people date is none of your business. Sanchez hasn’t done anything wrong and neither has her sister. Now you think you can control who people date and marry?
I can’t tell if this is being fueled by the GOP, or if you are just sexist pigs who resent a single woman in politics.
I looked you up, and you’re a Republican. I’m not giving your blog, or Adriana’s anymore hits. Loretta beat Bob Dornan, and she will beat you guys too!!!!!!!
Voter fraud…proven voter fraud. Learn your facts. And I have seen the Green Parrot tape myself. It IS REAL!
Tiny Bubbles,
Some say there is also a security camera tape of the Congresswoman doing unspeakable things below the table of the now closed, Green Parrot Café in Santa Ana with a VERY powerful O.C. Lobbyist. I wonder how much that tape is worth today?
Bubbles,
Really? We have reported here the fact that I am now a Libertarian. I was a Decline to State voter previously.
I quit the GOP a few years ago – that was a rather public divorce.
But do as you wish. I assure you that whether or not you read this blog won’t impact our bottom line in any way.
BTW, I support plenty of women in politics. But I am leery of supporting a Congressional representative who doesn’t have the sense not to date the lobbyists who she does business with.
Bubbles is exceptionally effervescent in her (?) comments. I am very sympathetic to her position, but I’m more steadfastly inclined to agree with the dictum that politicians may NOT have sex with a lobbyist. EVER! Of course, that’s making the grand leap that what’s purported here is true (and, honestly, I’m not yet convinced of that!) These are significant allegations, and I hope these are carefully researched allegations because otherwise it erodes not only the credibility of an innocent person, but more so, the credibility of those who disparage her …
Longboobs,
Well said. Sanchez has refused to deny or confirm the allegations. The anecdotal evidence is fairly damning.
Ah THE TAPE,THE TAPE====PARROT CAFE…
and Red, thanks for reminding us about that relative who called bubble head a “home wrecker”
hey maybe bubbles is “bubblehead”, herself.
Adriana is awesome. She is really calling Ms Sancheez out.
Is it true that this congresswoman held a fundraiser at the Playboy Mansion?
“The anecdotal evidence is fairly damning.”
Yeah, that’s what the National Enquirer tells itself before it runs a story.
#40,
Your boys Bill Clinton, John Edwards and Tom Umberg denied everything too. Whoops. They were all guilty…
And wasn’t it the National Equirer that busted Edwards?
I don’t care who she is sleeping with UNLESS it’s a spy. Given her position on the Homeland Security and Armed Services committees it could be very scary if it’s true.
Clinto, Edward, Umberg…they were ACTUALLY guilty.
You haven’t touched “actually” yet.
#43,
I never said that we did. Let’s see if Sanchez steps up and says something about this.
But remember that her sister Linda DID sleep with a lobbyist. They have a child together now.
What is up with these gals? Could it be something in the water in D.C.?
#42,
Exactly. Sanchez could be a security risk…
I’m sorry. Are you comparing Loretta Sanchez to Mike Duvall? Sen. Duvall was talking about drippy lady parts and spanking….. This is a picture of Loretta Sanchez and an older Gentleman. That alone should tell you that this is “rumor”. That dude is hella old!!!
Curious… how is this any one’s business? She’s a single woman. She can date. Nothing wrong w/ that. She’s allowed to date… so she can possibly find a husband, so you vulchers will leave her alone!!!!!
#46,
So, just to be clear, you are OK with members of Congress dating lobbyists with whom they have conflicts of interest? And taking their moolah too?
I have no problem with Sanchez dating. Good for her! But what is this apparent fascination with lobbyists? And federal defense lobbyists at that? No bueno!
One more thing… Loretta doesn’t have to confirm or deny whether she dated this old dude. It’s her personal life. She doesn’t run around talking about family values, she isn’t married, there’s not sex tapes, there’s no scandalous photos. One picture and an old dude “claiming” to have said he had sex w/ her is hardly evidence.
Also, Loretta Sanchez takes photos w/ hundreds of people. Does that mean that she’s sleeping w/ all those people too?
Report on real news. Leave this woman alone… she’s a good person.
Just me says:
“Leave this woman alone… she’s a good person.”
Good person? Not if she is fraternizing with Lobbyists or the enemy! (I guess that might be a little redundant)
#48,
So, you are OK with Congresswoman Sanchez supposedly dating lobbyists who have business with her congressional committee? Really?
And it is not just one dude. There have been at least two of these “dudes.”
As for pictures that Sanchez takes, does she always let old dudes paw her like that?
Good or not, she needs to answer these allegations. Otherwise she will be deemed “no bueno.”
