Right now (as in live), there is a resolution being introduced to remove Charlie Rangel (D-NY) from his chair of the Ways and Means committee. Lots of allegations, lots of media references (now the Republicans like the New York Times and the Washington Post), no actual charges, no actual trial. I'm not a fan of Charlie Rangel, but this is ridiculous. Did he do bad things? So why not investigate and try him?
There is a double standard in Washington. It seems to be OK to buy off a mistress's family and arrange for her husband and son to get cushy jobs. Also it seems to be OK to visit prostitutes if you are a Louisiana Republican, but not if you are a New York Democrat.
Whereas, let those without sin, cast the first stone.
