Ney's (R-Oh) Water Is Gettign Hotter

Ney has been in hot water for a while now, but a just released Senate report will make it much hotter.

It's Bob Ney's memory vs. everyone else's. The version of the story that prevails could exonerate the besieged GOP congressman or land him in court.

In an account released Thursday of Ney's first-ever interview with investigators probing the Jack Abramoff bribery scandal, the congressman claimed he was unfamiliar with a Texas Indian tribe that gave him more than $30,000 in political donations and whose legislation he promised to back.

Ney also told investigators from the Senate Indian Affairs Committee that he "could not recall ever meeting with any member" of the Tigua tribe of El Paso, Texas, which was asked to pay for Ney's August 2002 Scotland golf trip and whose leaders vividly described meeting Ney after he returned from that trip.

Opps, another lie exposed in the web of lies that Jack Abramoff's activity created.
