Much that is wrong with Congress was well illustrated by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's inability to answer a straightforward question about the ethical lapses of one of her most powerful members. Elizabeth Vargas of ABC News asked Pelosi on Sunday whether House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel should have known it was a violation of ethics rules to accept Caribbean trips paid for by special interests.Here's the exchange:

They all slop up the gravy like pigs at a trough, so never expect one pig to squeal on another.

Both of them deserve room and board at a Federal Pen.

Well in Pelosi's defense I will postulate that it is better for the taxpayers to have a lobbyist buy a congressman a seat on a commercial plane than it is to buy a congresswoman a freaking 737 for her personal travel. She probably thinks Rangle is little people compared to her and not worth worrying about.
