Rep. Bob Ney pleads guilty to corruption charges; keeps Congressional seat

Please note that only Republicans can be convicted of corruption and remain in office. From the AP:

Ney did not resign his seat. Several officials have said the congressman is financially strapped and needs his $165,200 annual paycheck and benefits as long as he can continue to receive them.

Excuse me but tough shit? This guy is a criminal - fuck his Congressional benefits. Those should have been forfeited the moment he betrayed the public trust. He needs to be excised from Congress - no questions asked. This is fucking ridiculous. The next person that claims the Republicans are the party of personal responsibility should get punched in the mouth.
