Ohio congressman Bob Ney identified in Abramoff lobbying scandal
Bob Ney gave up his chairmanship of the House Administration Committee on Sunday amid an influence-peddling probe that has roiled the Republican Party.
Ney, a six-term Ohio Republican, was under heavy pressure from House Speaker Dennis Hastert to give up his chairmanship after Ney was implicated in the scandal surrounding lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who pleaded guilty to corruption charges January 3.
GOP sources said Friday that Hastert, an Illinois Republican, was moving to push the embattled Ney from his post.
And the heads are starting to roll. Randy Cunningham, Tom DeLay and Bob Ney. Good start, keep up the good work. Don’t worry Bush we haven’t forgotten you and your lying gangster crony’s.
The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee expressed skepticism Sunday over President Bush's domestic eavesdropping program, joining a chorus of Republicans and Democrats who are questioning its legal justification.
Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pennsylvania, who will hold hearings next month on the decision to allow the National Security Agency program without court approval, said he has told Bush administration officials that he believes they are on shaky legal ground.
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore called on Monday for an independent investigation of President George W. Bush's secret domestic eavesdropping program, which he descried as "a threat to the very structure of our government." Thank you, Al Gore.
Gore says Bush broke law in wiretapping.
Gore Calls for an Investigation of Warrantless Spy Program In his latest speech criticizing Bush, he says a special counsel should examine the issue.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, You are a disgrace to your office, you are nothing but Bush’s little crony puppet. You’re trying to tell me Bush is not breaking the law! Bullshit, I suppose Randy Cunningham, Tom DeLay and Bob Ney are innocent to. I have a nickname for you, PUPPET.
