What a strange world we live in, when the wife of the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee is sentenced to jail for bribes she took as a City Councilwoman.

When the head of the Ways and Means Committee is under investigation for not paying his taxes.

When the most Senior black member of the House is charged with ethics violation.Waters’ husband is a stockholder and former director of OneUnited Bank and the bank’s executives were major contributors to her campaigns. In September 2008, Waters arranged meetings between U.S. Treasury Department officials and OneUnited Bank, so that the bank could plead for federal cash. It had been heavily invested in Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and its capital was “all but wiped out” after the U.S. government took them over. The bank received $12 million in Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) money.[38][39] The matter is currently being investigated by the House Ethics Committee

When another member of the CBC is under investigation for giving scholarships to her family in violation of ethics rules.

When Cynhia McKinney slapped a Capitol police Officer.

When Cold cash Jefferson kept bribe money in his freezer.

Do we see a pattern here? Are these the people we want running our country?
