UGH. I see that.
Oh well. Rangel has to go.
His popularity won’t fall. Not in Harlem.

16 months and they finally figured it out...

Now, what are they going to do?

Let’s see how Mrs. Pelosi, promising to end the culture of corruption, handles this. Her reply, when asked if he should step down, has always been to wait until a determination has been made. We’re waiting....

LOL. Um, how about “the committee has found, but I am appealing?”

You're on the mark. In his presser, it was reported he will tell us he will be fully exonerated. By whom?

Additional ethics investigations of Rangel's finances and fundraising are still under way, but they are not connected to the ruling on the Caribbean travel.

The *most* ethical congress, as promised by Nancy...

I’d hate to see her criminal congress candidates!

oh wait - they are czars now or czars-in-wait, right?

I suspect a way harsh censure or reprimand will come down from on high. Way harsh.

Charlie might be instructed to shine Nancy's boots.

Or lick them...

That’s interesting.
Rangel’s wealthy and he didn’t make his money on House pay.
He’s an old coot and he can’t take it with him. Power must be quite exhilarating. I’d have retired decades ago.
