Ney walks the plank. What about Pombo?

[quaoar]

Bob Ney has been forced out as chairman of the House Adminstration Committee because of the Abramoff scandal.

Richard Pombo of California, who never saw a tree he didn't want to chop down, is chairman of the House Resources Committee. If the Republicans were really serious about reform, they would give Pombo the heave-ho as well. But, of course, they aren't. The only reason they are throwing Ney under the bus is because he's probably fixin' to do the perp walk.

I guess if you're a Republican you're save as long as you aren't referred to in an indictment as "Congressman A" or some such.

But if the Speaker wants him gone, he's gone.
