thinkprogress.org — Yesterday on Fox News Sunday, House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) was asked whether Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) should step down from Congress. Ney pled guilty last week to federal corruption charges, admitting to prosecutors that ?he had accepted tens of thousands of dollars in illegal favors from Abramoff and from a Syrian businessman.

He voted to expel a Democrat on corruption charges. <a class="user" href="http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_keyvote_detail.php?vote_id=3193&can_id=H3092103">http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_keyvote_detail.php?vote_id=3193&can_id=H3092103</a>I am sure glad he's not a partisan Republican.

The thing that really stuck out, for me, is the Syrian money he's been accepting. Syria... you know... militant Islamist Syria.Now we don't have to worry only about suicide bombers but the fact that the whackos have figured out how to control our government: line the pockets of whomever is in power.

Why hasn't William Jefferson been asked to resign after he was caught on video tape accepting money bribes from the FBI and found 90 grand in his freezer?

Jefferson hasn't been officialy found guilty...yet. As a democrat myself I think he should have either stepped up with one amazing freakin explanation or resigned and pled guilty. Either way he's gone next cycle. Dems will be better off putting a progressive in his seat anyway.
