The House ethics committee announced today that it’s expanding the ongoing investigation into Rep. Charles Rangel’s shady finances. Rangel recently remembered that he was worth twice as much as he’d ever previously disclosed.

Rangel is a longtime corrupt scumbag. To think that asshole actually writes our tax code (a tax code he ignores) sickens me.

Worse, just yesterday resolution put forward by republicans to remove him as chairman of the House Ways and Means committee was blocked by democrats.

I guess this is what Nancy “stretch” Pelosi meant she promised to preside over “the most ethical congress in history.”
