I worry this will set a precedence. Isn't Maxine Waters coming up on ethics violations? Will she get half of a finger waggle?

Pathetic.. Mind numbingly pathetic! Aren't there 4 republicans on this comittee?

The TSA is strip searching three-year-olds from Demoines, because they might be terrorists. Charlie Rangel gets busted, evading hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes and he's going to get nothing more than an ass chewing.

If Rangel were a Republican he would have been told not to let the door hit him in the ass on his way out of Congress, he'd be called a scumbag by every Liberal in sight, and referred to the justice department for prosecution.

This it typical Liberal two faced approach to ethics, something Liberals are unfamiliar with.

Censure is not punishment it's a free pass.

I disagree with censure, but this is not usually, and republicans have to stop with the whining of being picked on. Republicans do just as well as democrats. They are not a picked on minority. Buck up guys, have some self respect for Pete's sake.
