#1 Additional ethics investigations of Rangel's finances and fundraising are still under way.....

but they too, will probably amount to nothing, nothing at all.

#2 Big whoopin' deal. Let me know what the 'punishment's gonna be, and I doubt it's going to be anything worse than a slap on the wrist...

#3 A seventy-nine year old, 34-year veteran of Capitol Hill? Does anybody in their right mind believe this little Caribbean trip isn't just the tip of the iceberg? He's had a long, long time to practice his particular, peculiar little craft.

And this is the guy who writes our tax laws? I've said it before: the reason so many crooks in this country aren't breaking the law is that the laws are written for them by the likes of Rangel.

Hey, Charlie, how about if you just quietly retire? Surely you've acquired enough loot by now to live the rest of your life in style. Surely Eric Holder would be willing to leave you alone and let you keep it.

#4 I don't want this corrupt POS to quietly retire to his subsidized-rent 4-plex. Strip him of his faux-dignity, his reputation, his ill-gained wealth and put him in prison

#6 Pelosi sticks with Rangel, notes ethics panel did not take action

All I saw was the press release where they said he did not violate the rules of the House, Pelosi said. And I think thats an important statement that they made.
