Rangel in Trouble

Things get worse for the New York congressman. He's been charged with "multiple ethics violations" by a House investigative committee.
Frankly, I'm surprised. Not because of the violations themselves, but because anyone in the current House leadership knows what an "ethics violation" looks like.
From the AP story:
The timing of the announcement ensures that a public airing of Rangel's ethical woes will stretch into the fall campaign, and Republicans are certain to make it an issue as they try to capture majority control of the House. Speaker Nancy Pelosi had once promised to "drain the swamp" of ethical misdeeds by lawmakers in arguing that Democrats should be in charge.
Drain the swamp. Again. And again and again and again, if necessary.

Re: Rangel in Trouble
In his way, Rangel's kind of lovable, no? A part of me (small part) feels bad. Still, it's a great opportunity for Ricochet to post that oh-so-iconic picture of Rangel asleep and drooling in Bermuda.
