Almost too surreal to comprehend but Bob Ney is still in the position of Ethics Instructor, as you would think the GOP would want to hide this guy in a closet until he is indicted.
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.
