Scandals continue...

Rangel says the buck does not get here and assumes no responsibility for his decisions. He is not competent to Chair anything...but we know he will not resign.

WASHINGTON—The House ethics committee has found Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel, a New York Democrat, violated House rules by failing to properly disclose financial details of trips to the Caribbean, senior congressional officials said Thursday.

After several months of investigation, the ethics panel determined Mr. Rangel didn't inform the ethics committee of the corporate source of funds for trips that took place in 2007 and 2008. The panel determined his staff knew the trips were paid for by corporations, and found that Mr. Rangel—who says he didn't know—should still be held accountable, officials said.

I'm surprised y'all haven't figured it out yet. Kenneth is a staunch republican who pretends to be a democrat because he knows he is making democrats look like absolute irrational fools. He provides a good foil on the thread so it doesn't look like we are just preaching to the choir.
