Best Abramoff joke of the day?

Bob Ney (R-OH) still thinks he's running for reelection in November.

Okay, gallows humor, admittedly. But you do have to sort of wonder whether at some point the guy has to take stock of his situation and options. As near as I can tell either two or three men have made plea agreements in which they admit to bribing Ney and agree to testify against him in forthcoming testimony (Scanlon and Abramoff are two; it's not clear to me whether Kidan will be testifying directly against Ney.)

Now, everyone deserves their day in court. And perhaps a good lawyer can help Ney beat the rap at trial. But you've got to figure that in the context of a election campaign there's more than enough on the table already to make capital punishment a near certainty.
