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.
................................
So you got Santorum in charge of drafting new legislation on lobbying and you have Rep Ney in charge of ethics orientation, this is one of the funniest things I have ever read. When you thought the republiscums couldn't sink any lower.
