Ney threatened staffer with ‘abusive phone calls.’
Neil Volz, a former top staffer to Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) who pleaded guilty to conspiracy in the Jack Abramoff scandal, is now asking for “house arrest” instead of prison time. Documents filed in federal court last week said that Volz has “endured harsh criticism, including abusive phone calls” from Ney when the former congressman suspected he was helping investigators.

September 5th, 2007 at 11:53 amREALITY is on my Ignore List!
September 5th, 2007 at 11:58 am“House arrest”? Gee…I’d have to stay home? That’s my punishment?
Where can I get me some of that “house arrest”?
September 5th, 2007 at 11:59 amVery funny. Maybe we could get one thread with ALL “Jake D.” posts?
September 5th, 2007 at 12:01 pmDarn.

Maybe thats the story behind Mr. P’s ceaseless blogging. I just don’t want to think what he was charged with…..ew.
September 5th, 2007 at 12:03 pm5 to 1 ain’t bad though ; )
September 5th, 2007 at 12:03 pmFor the record I am on my “ignore list” so I’ve stopped answering when I talk to myself.
September 5th, 2007 at 12:04 pmShakey, your very name is a joke around here. What deep-seated need to continually humiliate yourself keeps you posting your crap here? What happened to you?
September 5th, 2007 at 12:06 pmSend him to that great big new house in Bagdhad.
September 5th, 2007 at 12:06 pmHe can make the beds and sweep the mortar fragments off the roof.
I wonder if they’re going to add witness tampering to Ney’s current list of crimes for which he’s serving a 30 month sentence. It’s a federal crime to threaten a witness, hoping to influence their testimony.
September 5th, 2007 at 12:07 pmKeep it up, please.

September 5th, 2007 at 12:09 pmI agree, Polly Mathe, send Volz to that great big new house in Bagdhad to make the beds and sweep the mortar fragments off the roof. Good one.

September 5th, 2007 at 12:11 pmNot at all, Polly. I agreed with your post. I’m happily married, thank you very much.
September 5th, 2007 at 12:12 pmSay what you want about Ney, but since he hasn’t admitted to any of that gay bathroom sex, he’s still a republican in good standing. For the record, it’s not the gay bathroom sex that’s the problem, it’s the admitting to it.

So is Larry Craig
September 5th, 2007 at 12:13 pmYou didn’t answer my question on the other thread: “Are you a terrorist?”
September 5th, 2007 at 12:13 pmNey wants to do his time in the men’s room stall.

According to the Wikipedia entry on Bob Ney, he’s doing 30 months at the Federal Correctional Institute at Morgantown, West Virginia and he’s sharing a bunk room with 12 other men. He must be having the Republican time of his life.

Comment by Jake D.
The answer is no, unless you’re talking to a republican.
September 5th, 2007 at 12:21 pmname jacking isn’t cool when trolls do it, and it’s not cool when libs do it, either.
Although it is occasionally funny.
September 5th, 2007 at 12:22 pmFor the record, I doubt that bin Ladin is registered Republican ; )
September 5th, 2007 at 12:23 pmKeep it up, Fake Jakes!!!
September 5th, 2007 at 12:25 pmAnother call for community policing so idiots like Jake will be prevented from blocking the forum!!

Ol’ Jakey has the Repug mantra down pat; bribery, selling votes, lying under oath, witness tampering is part of the “republican way”, but being gay……. UH UH!! Not in our playbook (Unless you are a FOJG, Friend of Jeff Gannon, then it’s kewl)

He’s a relgious fanatic who is intolarant of people who are different from him or don’t hold his world view. He is a son of priveledge, he is a coward hiding in a cave while others die for his cause. Sounds like a republican to me…
September 5th, 2007 at 12:31 pmSpeaking of Ohio:
Breaking News
AP: Rep. Paul Gillmor, R-Ohio, was found dead in his apartment Wednesday, a Republican leadership aide says.
September 5th, 2007 at 12:32 pmR.I.P, Rep. Gillmor.
September 5th, 2007 at 12:33 pmDifference Bobwurst, is republicans hide in the nearest bar, whorehouse, or restroom.

Who, unlike the Repugs, has admitted his sexuality issues, and moved on. Something a Repug wouldn’t know how to do.
How many members of the Republican Log Cabin are there? Not something you folks want to discuss, is it?
September 5th, 2007 at 12:47 pmForgot the link, here it is, note it IS NOT endorsed by the Repug party. Must not be something the trolls here are proud of, huh?
Actually a well-done site.

September 5th, 2007 at 12:50 pmOnly an honorary member of the GOP, but I seem to have quite a few friends there, and I hold a lot of sway. Notice how quickly George surrendered after 9/11? We have secrets.

Too bad their own party won’t allow them to come out with some dignity and not fear the Greyhound tire slap. But that is the Repug way, fear and loathing of anything gay
September 5th, 2007 at 12:59 pm#8…Priceless!
September 5th, 2007 at 1:44 pmSo it goes, mr. p starts his 4th grade rants earlier and earlier.
And finds Jakey as his Bestest Bud, that says a lot about both of them. SIGH!

Whereas you’ve established that you’re a sleazy attorney that always has a price. That’s TRULY priceless, that and the MAN CRUSH between you and Mr. Pee!
September 5th, 2007 at 2:00 pmIt’s time for Bob Ney to go. He’s a typical criminal GOP-er!
September 5th, 2007 at 2:07 pmExcuse me, I seem to have opened the wrong door.
I had higher expectations of what I’d find at ThinkProgress.
The TP staff do an excellent job of putting up the stories, but the
commenters here seem to have too little interesting information to
share and discuss.
I’ve been here before, but do not remember this kind of juvenile sounding blather. Is that what kind of blog you want? Not me.
