Rep. Charles Rangel has barely wrapped his primary victory speech and already faces a new ethics charge — that he failed to properly disclose an all-expense-paid trip to China as part of his required financial filings.
His camp is already rushing to amend the financial documents, the New York Daily News reported. But the oversight is especially notable for Mr. Rangel in that he has a history of ethical missteps that included a 2010 censure by the House for taking a trip to the Caribbean on corporate donor dime.

Did Lois Lerner ever submit a request for an “exam” on this old tax cheat? Of course, we all know the answer to that one.

And its not going to make a damn bit of difference. The only thing Rangel could to to get voted out would be to become a Republican and start praising George Bush.

“The historic CBC trip to China was fully approved by the House Ethics Committee and the congressman has taken immediate action to file necessary amendments,” Ms. Kim said”
How can the ethics committee approve it if they don’t know who is paying for it?

Somewhere there’s a classic Steve Martin skit about forgetting to pay tax (SNL).
