Ney sentenced to 30 months in prison.
Former Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) was sentenced to a 30-month prison term today, a penalty that is “stiffer than the 27 months recommended by prosecutors.” Ney pleaded guilty last October “to making false statements and conspiracy to commit fraud” as part of the Abramoff influence-peddling scandal. Judge Huvelle explained to Ney why she delivered the tough sentence: “As a member of Congress, you had the responsibility, above all else really, to set an example and uphold the law.”

January 19th, 2007 at 1:38 pmNey needs to provide upmost protection of his aft-ended quarters, for his fecal ejector might be invaded by a protusion of a large black sort.

January 19th, 2007 at 1:55 pmDon’t be fooled. He will go to ‘prison light’ in Arizona or New Mexico (not sure where it is) where he will have ample opportunity to hone his golf game.

Sure, he will go to “prison lite” but he won’t be able to have his daily quart of booze — that should make him even more uncomfortable.

“On the legal side, the congressman has said from day one that he has done absolutely nothing improper or illegal,†Walsh said. “He has pledged to cooperate in any way possible with the Abramoff investigation and remains absolutely confident that his name will be cleared.†– April 6, 2006
“Once these false allegations have been put to rest, and I have the full confidence that they will be, I look forward to resuming the chair for the rest of my appointed term and continuing the important work of the Committee,†Ney said in a release Jan. 15.
January 19th, 2007 at 3:26 pmSo Ney gets 2 1/2 years at Camp Cupcake Resort Prison. So he might have to fold some laundry between playing Tennis and swimming. Plus he might get out after a year for good behavior > no justice in US for political criminals like Bob Ney.
January 19th, 2007 at 4:21 pmJay Randal,
Well, at least we can be happy that he won’t be getting his pension money.
January 19th, 2007 at 5:00 pmThanks big papa, I forgot to add
white,
brown,
or yellow.
January 19th, 2007 at 5:04 pmWell prosecutors can decide which prison facility he goes to.
co-operate and nay goes to a nice prison
clam up and nay ends up in a hell hole.
Nay though is small fry.

January 19th, 2007 at 5:53 pmEvidently, Heritage Foundation thinks he’s making a point. How funny.
January 19th, 2007 at 7:05 pm30 months is not enough. Life in prison seems reasonable.
January 19th, 2007 at 7:45 pmrachel kinnardi,
Please add me to your list.
January 19th, 2007 at 7:52 pmI am not on rachel’s list and I could care less > lol.
January 19th, 2007 at 8:25 pmDear Tp Staff,
Is their anything more that can be done by you and your posters to make me more comfortable in my stay here at TP?
They seem to be full of vitriol and hatred for one another and this fervor is at a fever pitch and well, to be honest, some of them are just down right rude and nasty here at TP. I think they know whom they are.
I dont feel like I am getting my moneys worth as a taxpaying United States citizen.
I hope you will look into this slight at your earliest convenience.
I paid for this and I am not getting my moneys worth.
I demand compensation for your lack of goodwill toward your fellow man.
I will accept payment in the form of cooperation and a general feeling of goodwill from your regular posters.
I expect these demands to be met and to resume immediately.
If this is not recieved, other forms of compensation will be sought and recieved.
Somehow until then I will manage to muddle through, but this blogging hobby is starting to become a burden and well you know, I just think you could try harder to make me more comfortable here since after all,it is my hard earned tax dollars funding this site. I just dont feel you are doing enough to make my stay here amiable and pleasurable like your ad stated on the box. Truth in advertising is the law.
I will forgive this mishap this time, but in the future please look into and perhaps sponsor starter academic programs for a select few posters here, perhaps offer simple courses like:
Note – 1 semester equals 6 months
1) People Skills 101 – 1 semester
2) How to Debate and Win! – I II III IV – 4 semesters
3) Know When to Say When – I II III IV – 4 semesters
4) The Basics of Ebb and Flow – I II III IV – 4 semesters
5) Priciples of Sharing – I II III IV – 4 semesters
6) Gift of Knowledge – I II III IV – 4 semesters
7) Communications for the Masses -I II III IV – 4 semesters
I will look forward to your reply in a memo here.
