NEY SAYS HE'LL TAKE DOWN THE WHOLE OHIO REPUBLICAN PARTY IF THEY TRY TO FORCE HIM OUT-- AND HE CAN DO IT!

I often refer to the Ohio Republican Party as the most corrupt organized political crime operation in America (outside of Tom DeLay, Inc. of course). And I often refer to Ohio Congressman Bob Ney as the most corrupt congressloon in America (outside of Tom DeLay-- of course). Have you ever wondered when these two cornered beasts might start turning on each other?

Tip of the hat to the awesome team at The Swing State Project, who turned us on to a report in today's CINCINNATI ENQUIRER in which Ney seems to be threatening to take down the whole rotten, corrupt GOP machine in his home state! "Ohio Republican Chairman Bob Bennett said Thursday that he'd ask Rep. Bob Ney to resign from Congress if he were indicted on felony charges." Ney, who was forced to resign from the Republican House leadership this week, took umbrage at the statement. "No party boss tells my constituents what to do. They will decide this thing... I would say if he asked me to step down that he'd better look in the mirror because glass houses break easily." Read that again.
