Bringing integrity back to DC
House Majority Leader John "boner" Boehner (R-Obviously) just... can't... say whether a fellow republican, indicted and found guilty of influence peddling, should get his corrupt ass out of Congress.
Fox News' Chris WALLACE: This week Bob Ney, one of your Republican colleagues in the House, agreed to plead guilty to influence-peddling. Now, he has stepped down as chairman; he's still a member of Congress. This is a man who is basically admitting that he sold his vote. Should he spend another day in the House?
BOEHNER: Bob Ney clearly admitted to making some big mistakes. And he's going to pay dearly for the mistakes that he's admitted to. But he's also checked himself in for alcohol abuse. And right now my prayers are with him and his family. It's a sad day for the Congress and a sad day for Bob Ney.
WALLACE: Should he resign from the House?
BOEHNER: That's a decision that he and his family are going to have to make.

I was going to doctor this interview up a bit, but you know, I don't think I can improve on it.
