Breaking: Hastert Asks Ney To Resign As Admin. Cmte. Chair
House Speaker Dennis Hastert has asked Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) to step down from his post as chairman of the House Administration Committee, three sources with knowledge of the request said today.

A source close to Hastert said the Speaker does want to unveil lobbying reform legislation with Ney still in possession of a senior House position.

Ney is in New Orleans, LA today chairing a congressional field hearing on housing reconstruction in the Gulf Coast region, according to his spokesman, Brian Walsh. The hearing is ongoing and Walsh said his boss would not comment.

A Republican close to Ney said that "he obviously recognizes that, although he confident that he didn't do anything wrong, he recognizes his name is becoming a distraction to the Republican conference."

The source, who asked to remain anonymous in order to speak candidly, said Ney "will make the best decision for the conference." The source would offer no time frame on the decision.

Unlike the other "BREAKING" post from GD last night.

The second paragraph. Shouldn't it say "...the Speaker does NOT want to unveil...." You've copied it exactly as written in the link, but unless I'm missing something, I think they left out an important word.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. It happens! :9

Fire back to Hastert, "You're one to talk, Dennis....what about your Turkish bribes?"

:rofl:

Then that poor squirrel would be homeless.


:rofl:

:rofl:

That thing on his head is a dead groundhog. :rofl:

Or does Ney's blood-sucking, vampire effect cancel that out?

At least we won't have to provide therapy and rehabilitation for traumatized squirrels.

:rofl:

announcements?

:sarcasm:

:rofl:

It'll be a fine day in Ohio when that fool is indicted!

it seems to be the only thing they care about.

Stand by your crooked friends. Why do you hate your party?
I thought you repukes couldn't do anything wrong.
