The more I've learned about Rangle ... the more I see he's abused his power.

Convict that jackass as soon as possible along with anyone else who does what he did. This guy is another example why term limits are needed. No one should go to Washington as a representative and turn it into their career. At least, I haven't seen anyone who could and not bring their credibility into question for one reason or another (or another and another and another, etc.).

  You're shocked and amazed whenever anyone exhibits behavior other than Mindless Right Wing Partisanship.
  
  Y'all are still whining about poor ole Tommy DeLay, Newt Gingrich, and the dozens upon dozens of Republican jerk-wads.

  Corruption is corruption. It needs to be dealt with. The reason Boenner doesn't want an all out "ethics war" with the Dems is that he'll lose that war.

FTA: "The House Democratic leadership has chosen to wait until the House ethics committee completes its investigation before deciding what to do about Rangel. “The question is, at what pace do what we ratchet up the pressure to force Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi to do the obvious and right thing, which is to force Charlie Rangel to give up the chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee,” said a GOP leadership aide close to the situation."

That is rather amusing, there seem to be plenty of Rangel facts so why would the Democrats want to air them all with a hearing which whill tarnish their party further? And gosh, I thought they were already too busy to read their bills, so when do they actually hold such a hearing and how long will that take?
