The Honorable Robert Ney

Just like I think John Kerry's apparent insistence on running again for president in 2008 is part of some nefarious Republican plot, I have to wonder if Bob Ney's refusal thus far to resign his seat in Congress--even after pleading guilty to corruption charges--is part of a Democratic conspiracy:

The announcement appeared to surprise and infuriate House Republican leaders, who are trying to tamp down other scandals that are threatening to damage the party in next month’s Congressional elections.

Keep up the good work, Mr. Ney.
