Steve Kagen's Good Friend Up On Charges

From MSNBC via Drudge.
"A House investigative committee on Thursday charged New York Rep. Charles Rangel with multiple ethics violations, a blow to the former Ways and Means chairman and an election-year headache for Democrats.

The committee did not immediately specify the charges against the Democrat, but sources who could not discuss the allegations publicly said they include Rangel's misuse of official stationery, his use of rent-subsidized New York apartments and failure to publicly disclose financial information as required."

If this was a republican would they still be in office?

Steve Kagen's good friend Charlie Rangel.

Remember back in September of 2008.
The evidence? The $16,000 in donations that Kagen took from Rangel, and the alleged quid pro quo that led Kagen to support a $2 million earmark for a "personal office and library" for Rangel. "

Is this what the people of the 8th district expect from congress?
