Ex-Rep. Ney gets 30-months in jail, $6000 fine

WASHINGTON - Former Ohio Republican Representative Bob Ney, the only member of Congress to be criminally charged in the Jack Abramoff-lobbying scandal, was sentenced today to 30 months in prison and fined $6,000 by U.S. District Judge Ellen S. Huvelle. The Justice Department had asked for a term of 27 months in prison. The sentence was harsher than recommended by prosecutors or Ney’s lawyers, Huvelle said, because Ney had violated the trust place on him as a public official. “Both your constituents and the public trusted you to represent them honestly,” she said.

Now, if someone could PLEASE tell me why Mr. Ney goes to jail yet Sandy “Hey, how’d these documents get in my socks” Berger who has admitted that he stole documents from the National Archives and hid them to be picked up later is not?

Oh, that’s right, I forgot. The “Culture of Corruption” only includes Republicans!
