It seems that Rep. John Boehner forgot to add one key name to his list of supporters recently, Rep. Bob Ney.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports:

In case anyone is wondering, U.S. Rep. Bob Ney, who has been accused by former lobbyist Jack Abramoff of accepting free trips, meals and gifts in exchange for official favors, is backing fellow Ohio Rep. John Boehner for House majority leader.

Boehner, R-West Chester, is in a close race with Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri to replace former majority leader Tom DeLay of Texas, so he'll need every vote he can get.

But he's not bragging about Ney's support.

Although Ney has said publicly that he's backing Boehner, none of the lists of lawmakers supporting Boehner that Boehner's office has released have included Ney.

 Oh, what fun.
