Not Good Enough, Rep. Ney

Rep. Bob Ney resigned from two subcommittee chairmanships today, but that won't quite cut it.

Here's what OH 18 GOP candidate Joy Padgett, who Dems call his "hand-picked successor," said today about Ney:

"The institution of the Congress must be beyond reproach and without blemish. Congressman Ney's admission of guilt to serious charges requires his immediate resignation. That being said, it was my expectation that Congressman Ney would have by now resigned his office in the United States Congress. I am calling on him to do so immediately. Failing that, Congress should take action to expel Congressman Ney as soon as possible."
