WASHINGTON -- Rep. Charles Rangel is likely to be cleared on one of a half-dozen ethics charges, it was reported yesterday.

Rangel and four other members of the Congressional Black Caucus may be exonerated of allegations of rule violations stemming from a 2008 trip to the Caribbean for a conference, according to the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call.

Isn't this the same Charlie Rangle who wanted to reinstate the military draft? Nothing like seeing House Democrats exonerating a House Democrat for tax cheating. Fox, meet hen house. And the Fox will receive a government pension after he empties the hen house.

Exactly right my friend.

Charlie rangel will walk on all charges. There is no way in hell that the ethics committee wil do anything more than issue a warning or say: Hey Charlie , Please ,dont do it again.

This is a joke. The whole Friggin bunch in this Congress are a joke. The President is the biggest joke of all.
