Ney: Congress’s “Ethics” Instructor

Conservatives are off to a bad start on their pledge to “improve transparency and accountability” in the House and Senate.

Not only has Frist tapped Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) — a key player in the K Street Project — to craft a conservative version of lobbying reform, the House has tasked one of its most corrupt members instruct new lawmakers on ethics:

Before they take their seats in the House of Representatives, newly elected lawmakers come to Washington for a weeklong orientation that includes a briefing on congressional ethics.

Presiding over their instruction is the chairman of the House Administration Committee, who since 2001 has been Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio.

Ney has been named as Representative #1 in the plea agreeements of both Abramoff and his partner, Michael Scanlon, detailing lavish gifts, travel, and contributions from the lobbyists in return for Ney’s cooperation in Congress. You can find more details of Ney’s extensive ties to Abramoff here.

You've got to be kidding!!!!!! Or that just happens to be a function of ANYONE who has that job......and Ney's probably on his way out.

Santorum won't be around long enough to pen anything ... No ink will dry on his watch ... He has a snowballs chance in an oven of getting re-elected.


Regarding Ney --- "The Nay's Have IT !!! "

We ought to get some mileagae out of this in the press ...

The Blind Leading the Blind ... Shoot why don't they get DeLay to do it ... He's the real expert on it ... having been there ... done that. clap.gif

Oh, that's right he's innocent of all wrong doing.

Will Ney's 'ethics' classes start before or after he's indicted in the Abramoff scandal? dontknow.gif

Does this mean Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity will be teaching "Ethics" at journalism school?

With Ney and Santorum bleating off their sort of moral and ethical ethics, it's no wonder that corruption is blossoming within the hives of Congress! It's no wonder their approval rating by the American Public is way below the lying Bush's! smile.gif
