Charlie Rangel finally threw down the race card. Claims the house ethics committee targets blacks. Rangel's brother told him he should just step down.
Told ya so, Slick.
Twas only a matter of time.

Re: Twas only a matter of time.
agreed with you.....Rangel's brother is right. He should STFU, resign with some dignity and go away. I argued for just that in a recent county committee meeting. You cannot have a party that is trying to sell the idea that government is a force for good, and have folks taking advantage or gaming the system. He has to go.

oh, and race aside, Maxine Waters should resign as well. In neither case, will that happen, but it would be the right thing to do.

Re: Twas only a matter of time.
seriously, the Ethics Committee probably DOES end up charging a higher proportion of Black Caucus members, due to the lack of a good ol boy support network to cover their tracks. Despite that, I can't, for the life of me, figure what Maxine Waters was thinking. I mean, her husband was on the board of the freaking bank and she owned stock. She had no fucking business having anything to do with legislation that would benefit them.
That said, a REAL Ethics panel could probably remove 200 or so House members without all that much real investigation needed, from both sides of the aisle. And the fault ultimately lies with us, the People, who let these weasels get away with shit.
