Ney Cops Plea:
Ohio Republican Bob Ney pleaded guilty to bribery charges today, in connection with the Jack Abramoff scandal. Ney faces jail time (in some federal country club where he'll no doubt write a tell all book) of 27 months to 10 years.
According to an AP report, Ney's attourney "told the judge the congressman would resign from office before sentencing on Jan. 19." Ironically, his term expires January 3. Oh, well, minor slip of the tongue.
P. S. Does anyone else find it interesting that the first crook caught comes from Ohio, the state where Republicans claim to value morals above all else?

Wait a sec. Senator Reid is ethically challenged, too! One Democrat in trouble outweighs a dozen Repubs!!! At least in the Karl Rover dirty-tricks playbook.
