This could NOT continue - It's an election year! C'mon Merc, did you really think they were gonna let this drag on into Nov?

Democrats could make a real statement by drumming both Rangel and Waters out of the House, but they won't.
No doubt the private thought of most members on both sides is probably something like: "There, but for the grace of God, go I."
But before Republicans go gloating, it should be noted for those with short memories that after Tom DeLay was admonished by the Ethics Committee in 2004, the Republican leadership replaced their Ethics Committee Members, fired the Committee Staff Director, Chief Counsel, & Spokesperson, and changed the rules to make it easier to kill any ethics investigations.
At least in these two cases, Democrats are willing to investigate our own when they go wrong.
