Bob Ney hired by liberal radio in Ohio.
Former Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH), who pleaded guilty in 2006 to corruption charges and was sentenced in January 2007 to serve 30 months in prison for ties to Jack Abramoff, “has landed his first job since being released from prison last month.” Ney will be working in Columbus, OH for the Talk Radio News Service, a so-called “liberal talk radio” network. “Ney is working for the communications company” as he “stays in a halfway house.”

What about his toupe?
March 13th, 2008 at 2:30 pmI guess libruls have only themselvs to blame for giving crminals a second chance. Funny how these right-wingers ALWAYS get media jobs instead say, driving forklifts in a warehouse.
March 13th, 2008 at 2:34 pmWhat will they call his show? “Nutjob Bob??”
March 13th, 2008 at 2:35 pmMaybe he’ll become a rug salesman next?
March 13th, 2008 at 2:36 pmIs this “liberal radio” like the stone pile dude is “progressive”?
March 13th, 2008 at 2:39 pmUm…who’s calling Talk Radio News Service a “liberal talk radio” network?
Their website (http://talkradionews.com/about/) makes no such claim (not like ThinkProgress, which openly states they exist to advance progressive ideas and policies). Furthermore, they really aren’t a network, but more of a resource for the talk radio industry.
March 13th, 2008 at 2:40 pmeither TNS is helping to cure a repuglican of his mental disease and showing him the error of his neo-conservative ways through liberal talk radio.
-or-
giving a repuglican anti-american the tools to launch a new attack in the future.
i can’t decide which one yet.

Says the man who’s never been banned from RedState for refusing to regurgitate the right-whining talking points. . . . . .

Ok, let us try the truth flat earther. Right wing radio is profitable because, as psychological studies have shown, that little sh ts like you tend to have the same personality type as those who followed Hitler and Stalin. You do think you know it all, you are not open to the views of others or fact based thinking. You are all good little sheep who I would like to lead to slaughter.
Idiots. Why are so many of your moral heros adulterers. McCain who dumped his crippled wife for some drug addled trophy wife. “Thompson who seems to have a serious case of pedeophilia, Gingrich who tried to rip his first wife off on a divorce settlement while screwing his soon to be trophy wife. Oh, we will hear Spitzer who consorted with a whore. Well, Ney went to jail because he was a whore. Spitzer at least resigned while Craig and Vitter remain in office.
You right wingers make me sick.

“Right wing radio is very profitable!”
—For the the people it employs who are incapable of offering a product or service that could survive in a truly competitive market.
“The left wing talk shows will never last because their audience knows everything….”
—Whilst the right wing audience by inference knows nothing but what they are told and therefore will survive by the crumbs their fiscal and intellectual superiors toss to them, as long as they keep their place, and be thankful for it.
“…and they aren’t very open minded to opinions.”
—Because opinions are apparently inherently superior to arguments which rely on facts drawn from data and the application of logic and reason and which may be tested by the same means.
March 13th, 2008 at 2:55 pmRight wing radio is very profitable! The left wing talk shows will never last because their audience knows everything and they aren’t very open minded to opinions.
TRANSLATION, Drug Limpball would sell his mother for Oxys and ratings.And progressives try to educate themselves and their minds aren’t made of mush to be molded by the likes of rush,billdo,insHannity,ect.
March 13th, 2008 at 2:57 pmNey’s going to play “Colmes”, and sit there as a punching bag for a Lefty host. I’d listen to that.
Righty radio is rapidly tanking. The next couple of years will see it reduced to what it once was, and really always has been – a couple of reactionary wackos, railing in the wee hours of the morning, on AM, to a small, bitter audience of misguided janitors and truck drivers.
March 13th, 2008 at 2:59 pmDam,I think all 3 of us jumped on that tripe at the same time.You guys did a better job though.
March 13th, 2008 at 3:01 pmRight wing radio is very profitable!
Yeah? so what? Selling cocaine is very profitable as well.
That doesn’t mean that it’s good or necessary or of any measurable benefit to the planet.
Idiot.

Well, at least the fake-progressive troll has given up on its charade and revealed its true, incoherent self.
That’s a step forward at least.
March 13th, 2008 at 3:05 pmTo me the reason right wing radio survives and is profitable is because there are still a few million true believer neanderthals out there that need their politics spoon fed to them.
March 13th, 2008 at 3:05 pmLet’s not forget, liberals tend to read their news, rather than have it spoon fed to them by the radio.
Also, liberals end to listen to music more in the car.
March 13th, 2008 at 3:06 pmstack-o-rocks done got walloped with a sack-o-rocks
let’em have it, annie!
March 13th, 2008 at 3:06 pm.
So, being sentanced to 30 months in prison = 14 months if you’re a Republican?

March 13th, 2008 at 3:07 pmJust like the lion of the left!
Comment by Thecairngman
March 13th, 2008 at 3:16 pmThe lion of the left has not been to court yet.. and when this happens in June the court will find him innocent because:
1. His raided computers will show he was indeed writing a book on hypocrisy
2. The only child porn found were the images in 2004.. exploiting children is a habitual compulsive practice and more would have shown up
3. When his home was raided in 2004, his wife a pediatrician did not leave him.. she of all people would have connected some dots and left him
4. Newspapers at the time of his being fired at KGO claimed there was not a hint to be found of Bernie exploiting children, but that having images in possession is illegal and the DOJ is following the letter of the law.
5. Recently the text of his sex chat was released…very disturbing, and so disturbing it completely debunks Bernie being a child exploiter… THERE IS NO WAY HE COULD HAVE RAISED 4 WELL ADJUSTED CHILDREN, CHILDREN THAT ADORE HIM IF THERE WAS ANY TRUTH TO THE SEX CHAT. Bernie was role playing looking for contacts, experimenting in a journalistic manner as he is also a journalist. Bernie has had his kids on his show many times.
This book on hypocrisy is on the twisted holier than thou repugs which are more often than not the ones caught in the scandalous crimes.
Right wing radio is very profitable!

So is the Jerry Springer show……and for the same reasons.

March 13th, 2008 at 3:20 pmSo, he has Janitor Skills then, I guess?
March 13th, 2008 at 3:25 pmHate radio is scared shitless of the Fairness Doctrine…why?
Hate radio has done an Anderson Cooper ‘180′ on McCain…why?
Hate radio hates anyone with an independent opinion…why?
Hate radio hates. Period.

So old! My psychedelic music is all on the iPod, which I plug in to the car stereo. Get with the century, Uncle Ho!
March 13th, 2008 at 4:17 pmJust what the public needs, another liar on talk radio……
March 14th, 2008 at 4:46 pmthe only novelty is that this one has been convicted.
