WASHINGTON, DC – The House ethics committee has announced charges against Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Water, who is from California. Waters used her congressional authority to meet with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson on behalf of the Massachusetts-based OneUnited bank, in which her husband, as a former director, owned $250,000 of stock. OneUnited eventually received $12 million in federal bailout funds Here's what people are saying so far about the case, which comes as fellow Democratic Congressman Charlie Rangel is mired in his own ethics investigation.

House Ethics ?
under Dem control
talk about a oxymoron
Sounds like Paulson is as guilty of favoritism as Waters.
Hang ‘em both!
Maybe there’s a lot of infighting. Democrats will lose a lot of power for the next couple of terms and we will likely see a Republican president. I bet that moderate Democrats are desperate to get rid of the hard core leftists and racists while the Leftists keep damaging the Democratic party with their pushing and progressiveness. Americans are not by nature interested in collectivism and these leftists have done a tremendous amount of damage to Democrats.
Right now, more moderate Democrats might be pushing to shove the racist scum out and do something to save the party from annihilation. This is what Obama is doing and many Democrats are tired of the Clintons, tired of the entertainment industry, and sick of entertainers interfering in party politics.
She needs drug testing as well.
I’m sure they are asking with their hands out prolly.
Now that Obama is President, I guess ethics investigations is no longer just for white people.
Bout time!!!!
“Ms. Waters said she was simply standing up for an association of minority banks, not a bank that her husband owned stock in, noting that she has long been an advocate of minority-owned banks.”
“I didn do nothin wrong, I just helpin da po banks”
“Marxist Maxine Waters Faces Ethic Investigation”
There, fixed it.
I’m sure these allegations are racially biased. //sarc off.

“Marxist Maxine Waters Faces Ethic Investigation”
Interestingly, Maxine Waters anagrams to “Marxian. Sweet!”
It also anagrams to “Examine Warts,” which is what the ethics committee appears to be doing to her at the moment. :)
The charges .. 3 of them.

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.
Nothing to see here just another Rat Must be a misunderstanding pat on the butt and let her go, These investigations must be racist.
These investigations should be put in the hands of contractors. How did Pelosi escape the dragnet?
They should drop kick her out of Congress, but that won’t happen. Instead we must content ourselves with embarrassment to Democrats.
She turned herself into a Newt:
“What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”
