Nature intended for "Maxine Waters" to be happy and carefree in Africa, following her tribe's ancient customs, handed down unchanged from the stone age. youtube.com Mother nature never intended for "Maxine" to masquerade as an affirmative action token congresswoman in the U.S. House of Representatives, for Heaven's sake! Wake up, America!!!

nytimes.com excerpt: WASHINGTON — Representative Maxine Waters admitted to another House member in late 2008 that she probably would have a conflict of interest if she intervened on behalf of a bank in which her husband owned stock — but she did so anyway, according to a report by the Office of Congressional Ethics released on Monday. “She was in a predicament, because Sidney had been involved in the bank” the report said, referring to her husband, Sidney Williams, and OneUnited, a Massachusetts-based bank then on the edge of collapse. “But OneUnited people were coming to her for help. She knew she should say no, but it bothered her.” Ms. Waters’s actions involving OneUnited, where Mr. Williams was a former director as well as a shareholder, are now at the center of an investigation that led the House ethics committee to announce on Monday the creation of an adjudicatory subcommittee. That panel is charged with holding a public trial to determine if Ms. Waters violated House rules. [...] Ms. Waters, a Democrat from California, said on Monday that she did nothing wrong in the case involving OneUnited, and that she is fighting the charge, despite the risk of political damage from a trial, because the charge is unfounded. Ms. Waters said she simply was standing up for an association of minority banks, not a bank that her husband owned stock in, noting she has long been an advocate of minority-owned banks. "I have not violated any House rules," Ms. Waters said in her statement. "Therefore I will not be forced to admit to something I did not do." She also said that regardless of what action she may have taken, it brought her family no personal benefit. --------- So, the bumbling fool admitted to a colleague in 2008 that she was about to engage in grossly unethical conduct, for which she now stands accused, but now she is playing the race card and voicing denial! She will probably be cleared of her misconduct because of the color of her skin and due to her shameless use of the race card! Imagine. Wouldn't it be great to go through life with the ability to commit various crimes, behave inappropriately, and engage in unethical conduct at any time, all the while knowing that if you were caught, you could easily achieve clearance by whining, "I was just helping my race, who used to be slaves! If you prosecute me, you are prosecuting everyone of my race and enslaving us again! RACISM!" NO, IT CERTAINLY WOULD NOT!!! Prosecute that stupid wench and her stupid enablers!
