Rep. Bob Ney, dirty before he even came to Washington. That and other news of the day in today's Daily Muck.

Actually, I can't resist adding this clip from Paul Kiel's Daily Muck this morning.

Back when Ney was a [Ohio] state senator, for instance, he regularly supplemented his income with checks from lobbyists (amazingly, a legal practice at the time). Two of his former aides there became lobbyists and then went to jail - one of them for bribing another former Ney aide.

It just gets better and better.
