The Hill ^ | 11/19/10 | Susan Crabtree and Jordan Fabian

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) accused the ethics committee of having a weak case that is unraveling after the panel abruptly canceled her upcoming public trial.

“The committee’s decision to cancel the hearing and put it off indefinitely demonstrates that the committee does not have a strong case and would not be able to prove any violation has occurred,” she said in a lengthy statement reacting to Friday’s announcement.

“The committee’s decision to cancel the hearing and put it off indefinitely demonstrates that the committee does not want to be the host of another circus”

And after W won and decided to just let the vandalism to the White House slide,

the left was out crowing that their wasn’t any damage done,
even though the OMB estimated 100’s of thousands in damage.

Rumor is the FBI stepped in and asked the Ethics Committee to postpone -—get the popcorn ready.

Why isn’t this Racist Liberal, Maxine Waters, in prison for helping to incite the LA Race Riot in 1992 in which 50 people were murdered (Lynched)? She stood on a milk crate on street corners in LA, pumping her fist in the air and shouting, “No Justice, No Peace!”

Hmmmm, I’m beginning to see a pattern on ethics, poor logic, “it’s all about what I can steal”, etc.

Nah.....that would be profiling.

Maxine Waters: “If this evidence is so damning, the Committee should present its case before the public, as we asked them to do when I first learned of their desire to postpone the hearing.”

“Apparently the Committee now recognizes, as I have maintained, that there was no benefit, no improper action, no failure to disclose, no one influenced, and there is no case.”

Poor Maxine.

Blistering over her pair of deuces just ain't gonna get anybody to fold.

From another source:

“The FBI stepped in and ask the committee to postpone any action until the FBI had completed their investigation. Apparently, they have come across information that has led them to expand their investigation of Maxine and family. After felony charges, the Ethics Committee hearings may be a mute point.

Interesting, if true.

Because Waters, Willie Brown (another instigator), and Sharpton all have "Diplomatic Immunity."

I just can't figure out why we can't all get along in this "post-racial" era. Where's Rodney King when we need him?

Gaaaaah!!

It's not "mute point", it's "MOOT point".

I realize it wasn't you who made the error. My exasperation is aimed at the "source" and/or author.

Stick a fork in Maxine and her nasty, scamming, racist disposition. Not to worry for her district though; They'll simply elect Maxine Waters v2.0.

Aunt ester should count her blessings that her Thanksgiving won't be ruined.
