N.Y. Democrat has been under scrutiny for months on various allegations
WASHINGTON - The Associated Press has learned that the House ethics committee has concluded that Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel knowingly accepted Caribbean trips in violation of House rules that forbid hidden financing by corporations.
“RANGEL: I had really hoped that when we came here that we were really going to push over the top”
CORRECTION: It SHOULD read ...
RANGEL: I had really hoped that when we came here that we were really going to shove this piece of socialism up the ass of America ...
I’m so glad someone else saw that. I thought maybe it was just my bad eyes. It sure does look like it!
So what. He’s a democrat and he’s black... he’s bulletproof.
This looks like a clip from "Weekend at Charlie's"
Or maybe a strongly worded letter!
Nobody went near the bar, and after a long scolding speech on "choice" by Jhemu Greene, only one person clapped. A nice change from the usual!
Wow, I guess old Charlie is doomed............................
To write a nice apology letter and come to the well of the House to explain how evil republicans are out to get him
Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi
Rep. Pete Visclosky of Indiana and top aide
Charles Brimmer
Sen. Max Baucus
Sen. Roland Burris of Illinois was recently admonished by the Senate Ethics Committee
“Thanks to Nancy Pelosi’s lapses in judgment, the rap sheet on the Democratic-led Congress is getting longer by the day,”.... “When the speaker promised to ‘drain the swamp,’ she probably didn’t think she’d be fighting off hypocrisy charges four years later heading into the 2010 elections.” --Ken Spain, communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee.
The Office of Congressional Ethics, an independent watchdog was created by Democrats in 2008.
Ha, another Orca in the news!
WOO-AAAH!!!
A RAT breaking the rules??? Nawwwww!
Good kick him out!!!!!!
A pig just flew past...
I look forward to the day that fat cat, cash cow goes down.
WASHINGTON — The Associated Press has learned that the House ethics committee has concluded that Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel knowingly accepted Caribbean trips in violation of House rules that forbid hidden financing by corporations.
A congressional source familiar with the findings but not authorized to be quoted by name said at least four of members of the Congressional Black Caucus on the trips in 2007 and 2008 have been exonerated.
What will happen to him?
Removal from chairmanship?
Will he lose his vote?
Likely nothing at all.
It took forever to get Rostenkowski out.
Instead they have him attend a televised summit.
“What will happen to him?”
hmmmmmmmmmmm ...

The story is developing, but one person this doesn’t help (aside from the veteran Harlem congressman, who already has one announced primary opponent, several other Democrats gunning for him and a GOP challenger) is Gov. David Paterson.
Rangel has been one of the embattled governor’s biggest defenders. Now they’re both officially on the ropes, it appears.
