Bob Ney Gets Job With Help from "Proud Liberal" Ellen Ratner

Thu Mar 13, 2008 at 11:37:10 AM PDT

Disgraced Ohio Republican Bob Ney has been given a job with Talk Radio News Service with the help of self described Fox News "Proud Liberal" Ellen Ratner, sister of Center for Constitutional Rights President Michael Ratner and mega-developer/Atlantic Yards developer Bruce Ratner.

NoLandGrab, a blog that follows Bruce Ratner's eminent domain abusing, controversial Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn, New York points to the story:

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...

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