WASHINGTON (AP) - A House investigative panel has decided to charge Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California with ethics violations, raising the possibility of a second high-profile political trial this fall. People familiar with the investigation, who were not authorized to be quoted about unannounced charges, say the allegations could be announced next week. The House ethics committee declined Friday to make any public statement on the matter.

After the Charlie Rangel affair, this looks like teeny potatoes. What gives?

This is either desperation in order to try to gull people into voting for Dems ("we're not ALL corrupt"), or Obama is clearing out the opposition to putting in his personally loyal minions in all the prominent "black" districts in Congress. /wild-assed-guess>

Cheers!

Thank you Santa. Oh this is getting good. Now what would really make for a good comedy plot is for her and Charlie to turn against Barney Frank and take him down with them.

Why is Kerry allowed to be a crook?

For parking his boat in a tax-free state? That's just being smart. The lesson from that is that hypocritical DEMs hate taxes just like the rest of us... therefore high taxes need to be exposed and avoided (in this case, Massachusetts should be embarrased most of all). I don't know that he broke a law - just got caught with his loophole open.
