The AP story does not tell us much at all!

Ex-Ohio congressman released from halfway house

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Former congressman Bob Ney of Ohio has been released from a halfway house in Cincinnati after serving a sentence in connection with a public corruption scandal.

Ney has served nearly a year-and-a-half of his original two-and-a-half-year prison sentence. The sentence was reduced after he completed treatment for alcohol problems.

Ney admitted trading political favors for golf trips, other gifts and campaign donations arranged by lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his associates.

The Republican veteran of six House terms was released from the halfway house Friday.

That's the whole story. Nothing about how Ney is a good friend and golfing buddy of McCain fund raiser Ralph Reed.
Nothing about the trip (oophs, that should be HUGE bribe) to Scotland was with McCain fund raiser Ralph Reed.

Maybe we are supposed to have very short memories! :rofl: NOT gonna happen!
