Our old buddy Bob Ney is apparently going to plead guilty to some sort of yet-to-be disclosed federal charges (Yay!).
Representative Bob Ney, Republican of Ohio, has agreed to plead guilty to federal criminal charges related to his dealings with the corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff, lawyers and others with knowledge of the investigation said Thursday.
A guilty plea would make Mr. Ney, a six-term congressman, the first member of Congress to admit to criminal charges in the Abramoff investigation, which has focused on the actions of several current and former Republican lawmakers who had been close to the former lobbyist.
Now doesn't that just make you wonder who Ney is taking down with him? Hmmmm... so many JACKabramOFF cronies to watch now... my guess? Ney has made a deal to name others. He's going into alcohol rehab apparently and I wonder if part of the deal is that he gets rehab plus a light sentence for naming names.
As that weird guy says...Developing!!!

Golly, that's my old Congressman! I think I got a commendation from him for making the honor roll or something. Douchebag.

Aye, Ney is the first of the Abromoff Gang of Corrupt Republicans to go to the Big House. He got off easy, really. Still, who's next and will it stick? It's time to take the next Hill and we can do it by Nov 2006!
