Charlie Rangel Pretty Excited About Facing Ethics Charges

I don’t know why y’all would think that a subcommittee on ethics not convened since James Traficant would worry Charlie Rangel. I guess 40 years in a safe Congressional seat makes a man supremely confident. Rangel told reporters yesterday, after a House committee revealed he would be charged with ethics violations after a two-year investigation, that he “looks forward to responding,” and that the “cloud” over is now dissipating.

I think he may misunderstand the nature of clouds.
