Well, Blow Me Down! Bob Ney Pleads Guilty To Fraud & Quid Pro Quo-ing For Jack Abramoff

by Bill Simon

After MONTHS of denying, Congressman Bob Ney is going to plead guilty for taking money for legislative favors asked of him by Jack Abramoff.

Note To Ralphie Reed: Losing your bid for Lt. Governorship is the least of your worries. I cannot wait to hear all about your testimony in the lawsuit against you and Abramoff for racketeering and other crimes in your subversive attack on an Alabama Indian tribe’s business activities.

And there’s probably more to come. I understand the OH GOP is expecting a complete wipeout in Nov.

Absolutely. Ted Strickland (D) has been leading Ken Blackwell(R) by double digits in their governor’s election for months. Sherrod Brown (D)has held a 5-10 point over Mike DeWine in the Senate race over that same time. Democrats are also looking to pick up 4 House seats in Ohio, including Ney’s 18th District.

Do you really want to know what I have on Cagle?

I like to tease. Can’t you tell?

I feel so cheap and easy!

Today's Deep Thought

The whole town laughed at my great-grandfather, just because he worked hard and saved his money. True, working at the hardware store didn't pay much, but he felt it was better than what everybody else did, which was go up to the volcano and collect the gold nuggets it shot out everyday. It turned out he was right. After forty years, the volcano petered out. Everybody left town and the hardware store went broke. Finally he decided to collect gold nuggets too, but there weren't many left by then. Plus, he broke his leg and the doctor's bills were real high.
