TPM:
After serving 17-months of a 30-month federal sentence for accepting bribes from disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, former Ohio Rep. Bob Ney (R), is set to be released on Saturday.
Time was taken off Ney's sentence upon completion of an alcohol rehabilitation program while at a minimum security prison, where he was first assigned before being sent to a half-way house in February of this year.
As a condition of his stay in the halfway house, Ney was required to work at a job. He was hired by his friend, Ellen Ratner, bureau chief for the Talk Radio News Service, who confirmed in March to a Capitol Hill newspaper that Ney was doing research for the news network.
But Ney was prohibited by federal regulations from being on-air until his release. Ratner indicated she planned to use him as a political contributor after he was placed on probation.

I notice all the GOP criminals seem to fine jobs yet an honest American can't. Foley is still doing his thing and making money to pay off families. Look who knows Duke and Jack will get Government jobs are Bush give them their pardon. Welcome back the Bugman to get his old job back and Boner Boy will be back in doing his own hair and nails.
