Rep. Rangel Must Resign as Chairman of House Ways Means Committee

From those hard right ideologues at WaPo:

"We called on Mr. Rangel to resign his coveted post last November while the House ethics committee probed his contact with a potential donor to a pet project who also had business before the committee. Mind you, that committee already was looking into his using official stationery to raise funds for that pet project, paying below-market rents on four Harlem apartments, failing to report income from a Florida condominium sale and failing to pay taxes on a home in the Dominican Republic. There's another subcommittee investigation into lobbyist-paid trips by Mr. Rangel and four other members of Congress."

Last November? Justice delayed is justice denied. Me thinks an IRS audit or Congressional inquiry into yours and my tax sheenanigans would not be so indolent.
