Republican Congressman Bob Ney, who pleaded guilty to two felony charges on October 13, finally resigned from Congress on Friday. Why the delay? I think TPMmuckraker has it figured out:
[H]e just needed to hang around Congress until November 1st to get his last paycheck of $13,000.
You’ve gotta think these things through, see.

He has huge legal bills that the RNC is no longer paying and he won’t collect his first paycheck from FOXnews until he is released from prison.
