I had to look him up, and, by god, he even LOOKS like a preteen, tho he was born in 1954. Many interesting nuggets on his own Congressional webpage. "Leadership: none" "Faith: not available"
Among his achievements is membership on the Joint Committee on Printing and the House Committee on House Administration (from whence he presumably issued the Freedom Fries mandate). His education consists of a BA in education, but he's never taught. There are two reasons for being an ed major: you want to teach, or it's the most mickeymouse option available.
Anyway, I think he should be Bush's choice for VP next time: they're a couple made in heaven. And I can see why the gays would have been insulted.

I'm telling you, I know Bob Ney.
He's a publicity-hungry, think-later-act-now, superficial prettyboy Congressman.
But I repeat myself. He won his toughest race when it became unofficially known that his opponent started spreading "Ney is gay" slurs, barely trying to hide that it was them.
Ney's district (at the time -- he's since been gerrymandered) is very, very conservative, working class Democrat. Once word got out that he was being slandered, sympathy for him pushed him over the top. Oh yeah, he was part of the GOP class of '94, which helped too.

Eli the Bearded wrote in /m28: DaveW, read the constitution lately?
Article. I. Section. 2. Clause 2:
No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, … The U.S. Constitution is only referring to physical age, not mental. It is clear from the story that the U.S. Representative in question has not yet achieved a mental age of twenty-five years.

So Ney must have been grandfathered in, so to speak.

Section. 3. Clause 3:
No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained
to the Age of thirty Years, ...
Article. II. Section. 1. Clause 5:
No Person except a natural born Citizen ... shall be
eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any
Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have
attained to the Age of thirty five Years, ...
There are plenty of age restrictions on the jobs already.
Oddly, perhaps, but I don't see any age restriction on
supreme court judges.
