Bob Ney Bows Out
Citing the standard "family obligations" in his decision to give up his re-election bid, Ohio Republican Bob Ney said, "I must think of them first, and I can no longer put them through this ordeal." I'm sure Ney was thinking of his family when he helped Action Jack Abramoff and two partners buy a Fort Lauderdale-based casino cruise line, which included his promoting the venture in the Congressional Record. Identified as "Congressman A" in Abramoff's plea agreement, Ney has yet to be charged with any crime.
