Demagogue

My birthday was on Wednesday so this feels like it could be a belated birthday present from the GOP to yours truly.

Rep. Robert W. Ney (R-Ohio) is expected to plead guilty in the coming days to charges stemming from his association with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, and he will blame a long-standing problem with alcohol for behavior that spiraled down to illegality, sources close to the congressman said last night.

Oh, GOP, you shouldn't have!

So much for Bob Ney's repeated clams of innocence.
