Former Congressman Bob Ney (R-OH) joins David Pakman on “The David Pakman Show” to discuss his new book, “Sideswiped: Lessons Learned Courtesy of the Hitmen on Capitol Hill.” He has a lot to say about House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), including allegations about John Boehner’s excessive drinking, calling a campaign staffer a ‘fag,’ and handing out free cigarettes from a lobbyist. Ney also describes how the Speaker destroyed Ney’s career after Ney refused to vote for cuts to Head Start (a program for low income preschoolers), and then reneged on a deal they made. Ney represented Ohio’s 18th congressional district from 1995 until November of 2006, when he resigned after admitting guilt in the Jack Abramoff Indian lobbying scandal, and pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and making false statements. Ney spent 17 months in prison, and was released in August.
