It certainly is about time! Republican Bob Ney, former Congress Member for Ohio's 18th district, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison. I was disappointed that it was only for 30 months. Ney had asked friends and supporters to write letters on his behalf to the judge. However, the judge was not swayed by the appeals for leniency. Good.
Here are some headlines that refer to Bob Ney's sentencing:

Bob Ney was called a "sushi-holic" by his best pal, Jack Abramoff. I don't think they serve sushi in prison.
