Dunno if anyone here is a gambler... we need a “Democrat Political Death Pool”. They’re really dropping like flies lately.

Maybe.

But the people who matter (her voters) will re-elect her anyway. :(:(:(

The charges .. 3 of them.

AP sources: 3 charges filed against Rep. Waters
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100802/ap_on_go_co/us_waters_ethics

Persons familiar with the case said Waters is accused of violating:

a rule that House members may not exert improper influence that results in a personal benefit;

also, the government employees ethics code, which prohibits granting or accepting special favors for the employee or family members that could be viewed as influencing official actions;

and a rule that member conduct must reflect creditably on the House.

If there was a rule against being butt ugly, there would be a fourth charge. :)

I don’t think so. ;o)

It may, in the end, be that they aren’t punished as they should be, but I think there will be trials, and they will be before the mid-term elections.

If not...then mea culpa.
