entirely safe and fun

I almost forgot banana-republic dictator wannabe Bob Ney in my list of the most loathsome Congressthings. Comes now news that the “Gentleman from Ohio” is facing a primary challenge (!) after resigning his position as chair of the House Administration Committee; he’s under a cloud for (apparently) accepting bribes more or less openly from the Abramoff apparatus. Sounds like another inbound newbie!  So good news for my Vote Freshman plan - I can’t vote in Ohio, but I can certainly applaud when an incumbent does so much to rule out his re-election.

Perhaps Mr. Ney can hang out in the big house with James Traficant, who will at least make him feel better about his hair.
