Seems to be a common thing nowadays. What has happened to our politicians? Are they committing more crimes or are they just getting caught more often?
Written by GussAfter two years of firmly denying that he did anything illegal or improper, Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, agreed Friday to plead guilty to two criminal charges in the congressional corruption scandal connected to former lobbyist Jack Abramoff and a lavish golf trip he took to Scotland in 2002.
Ney, a six-term congressman from Heath in Ohio’s 18th District, faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $500,000. Federal investigators, however, plan to ask that he be sentenced to 27 months.The 52-year-old Ney, who this week checked himself into an alcoholism treatment center, is scheduled to appear in the U.S. District Court in Washington on Oct. 13 to admit his guilt.
He will be the first member of Congress to confess to crimes in the Abramoff case.

I know, Guss, it’s not like they don’t have a good income or great benefits for life. Greed–pure and simple. Many of us learn to live within our means honestly. They can, too, but given the number of members of Congress, this is miniscule. There’s plenty of ethical, honest members.

David, I agree that there are many good members of Congress but it seems that lately they are being overshadowed by the ones who aren’t. I also realize that scandal makes better press.
