Corrupt Scumbag Finally Charged

Senator Charlie Rangel has finally been charged by the Senate Ethics Committee...pretty much all there is to say is, it's about time!


Rangel has been violating Senate rules for a long time now, and has been allowed to get away with it in spite of Speaker Pelosi's pledge to "drain the swamp," primarily because Pelosi's pledge was directed toward draining the swamp of corrupt Republicans, not corrupt Democrats. 

Rangel has been under investigation for some time for a variety of violations: accepting trips paid for by corporations, preserving a tax shelter for an oil company, using rent controls improperly for his campaign office...the list goes on and on.

The charges against Rangel have been a long time coming...and hopefully, he is only the first of many.
