Nay a word about Ney.

Putz issued this huffy reproach of New Jersey Democrats today.
You'd think that the Jersey Democrats might try nominating people who aren't crooks.
This was in response to an article about the investigation of Robert Menendez (D-NJ) in the Wall Street Journal. Said article concludes,
"We don't know whether Mr. Menendez is guilty of violating federal conflict-of-interest laws."
Though the investigation was just launched last week, and clearly states Menendez hasn't been charged with any crime, law professor Putz has already branded Mendendez is a "crook."

Meanwhile, he remains oddly silent about this.
Rep. Robert Ney (R-Ohio) agreed today to plead guilty to conspiring to commit multiple official acts for lobbyists in exchange for campaign contributions, meals and luxury travel, sports tickets and gambling chips. He became the first elected official to face charges in the ongoing influence-peddling investigation of former lobbying powerhouse Jack Abramoff.
So Ney's guilty plea, which will probably send him to jail for a couple years, doesn't even rate a mention. But a week-old investigation of a Democrat merits a long post, a finger-wagging lecture to Democrats, and by itself makes Mendenez a "crook."

Hannity could do no better.
