Green's Buddy Ney's Ethic's Problems...

It's pretty bad when your a DeLay Republican and even Grover Norqist is against you...

While most Republicans have stayed mum on Ney's problems, there was a notable exception last week. In a breakfast with reporters, Republican activist and key White House ally Grover Norquist, whose own dealings with Abramoff have come under scrutiny, suggested if Ney is facing a "serious legal problem," he "should step aside for the good of the team." While no Republican has publicly asked Ney to step down in '06, party officials privately admit worries over the investigation, which reportedly includes other lawmakers. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Justice Department is now probing Abramoff's dealings with DeLay, Rep. John Doolittle and Sen. Conrad Burns, all of whom are up for re-election in 2006. All have denied wrongdoing.


Also remember, Rep. Mark Green is mixed up with this gang, having taken a bunch of money from DeLay and Rep. Ney is who Green brought to Milwaukee to discuss Voter ID...
