‘I just got charged with what?!?’

Yes, after over two years, the ethics investigation of Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) has made it to the House floor. Unable to wrangle an 11th hour deal, the embattled former chairman of the powerful, tax-law authoring Ways and Means Committee is facing 13 charges of ethics violations.

Ironically, some of the allegations included tax evasion.

I suppose that when Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised to “drain the swamp” and conduct “the most ethical Congress ever”, she didn’t expect to see the corpse of the 20-term Democrat from Harlem.

Now, Madame Speaker has tossed Rep. Rangel under her campaign bus and yells ‘Sorry Charlie’ as she steams towards the mid-terms just three months away.
