Liberal talk radio hires ex-con Ney

The Hill

Good to see Bruce isn't the only Ratner creating jobs, and for an ex-con, no less. Of course, this ex-con just happens to be disgraced former Ohio Congressman Bob Ney, who was sentenced to 30 months on corruption charges back in 2006. Ney, we should point out, is a conservative Republican.

Former Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio) has landed his first job since being released from prison last month.

Ney is working in Columbus, Ohio, for the Talk Radio News Service (TRNS), thanks to his longtime friend Ellen Ratner.

Ratner, a self-described “proud liberal” who is the TRNS bureau chief, confirmed that Ney is working for the communications company as the ex-lawmaker stays in a halfway house.

NoLandGrab: God bless those Ratners. They never let ideology get in the way of friendship — or campaign contributions.
