Remember when Nancy Pelosi made that famous promise? "This will be the most ethical congress ever." Despite all the evidence that Rangel should be taking a "perp walk" rather than the position of Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. Pelosi says she is waiting for the House Ethics Committee to complete its wide-ranging investigation before she makes a decision about Rangel..Why is Pelosi supporting Charlie Rangel and ignoring the volume of evidence against him?

I imagine Nanny thinks that if they can bring down Charlie, they can bring her down also. Things are starting to get a little hot for the commies in this country.

Rangel is a criminal just like Dollar-Bill Jefferson. Congress is chock full of them - that is why the fear and anger skyrocketed over the health thingy - just a spark for the fumes of outrage.

We need an automatic life-in-prison sentence for people who rip off the voters. That would straighten up things in Congress.

Because not even 90 million in marked bribe money in a freezer is enough for her to make a judgment call.
