Maxine “In Hot” Waters and Charles “Been Charged” Rangel are just the latest is a string of ethically plagued members of Congress. William “Cold Hard Cash” Jefferson and Mark “Creepy Perv” Foley also come to mind.
So, I have to ask myself, what Maxine Waters would say about ethics… As luck would have it, here is the video!
Waters and Rangel are both in a lot of trouble. The most ethical congress in history has two ethics cases at the same time. Nancy’s Congress did make one first. Never have two ethics cases been heard at the same time, and right before an election.
Waters for her part is calling this racism. Considering the Ethics committee is bipartisan, this is highly unlikely. It looks like two members may walk out of congress, possibly on the way to prison. This wouldn’t be a first for a house member; for that matter, two other House Ways-and-Means Committee chairs left congress shame.
Here is the deal for Democrats in Congress; they have been able to individualize this in the past. 2010 will probably be different. Two hearings at the same time, and one about interference regarding TARP, all has big potential. This is seen in the number of Democrats calling for Rangel to leave Congress now!
