Questions for Bob Beauprez about Bob Ney

Yesterday, I got an email from the Democratic Party. You know, one of those bulk fundraising things. It began:

Millions of dollars will be spent this campaign season. No, I don't mean the bribes that Republican Congressmen have been jailed for taking (Rep. Duke Cunningham of California), or the pork barrel spending they're going to be jailed for pushing in exchange for lobbyists' gifts (Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio).

And I thought to myself, "Hey, those are two of Bob Beauprez's favorite people!"

Beauprez accepted $6,000 from Ney's PAC and $3,000 from Cunningham's PAC in 2004. (And let's not forget the $30,000 he got from Tom Delay.)

Ney is still a congressman for the next few months. I wonder if Beauprez thinks his corrupt buddy ought to resign immediately from the House. I also wonder if Beauprez, Marilyn Musgrave and Tom Tancredo plan to return Ney's money, as the DCCC requested six days ago.

UPDATE: The Post calls for Ney's resignation in this editorial.
