Rangel Guilty on 11 of 13 charges
He's guilty but He WILL keep his seat ?...... any bets on what his punishment will be????????
Article, comments, & video here............. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010...ations-rangel/ I saw some of the House Ethics Committee proceedings on CSPAN.....it was 'the usual dog and pony show' with all the usual political posturing for the cameras. Here's my take on the the proceedings...... ...How the Ethics Committee conducted the proceedings; ...How Rangel conducted his defense; ....What the Committee's findings were; Any prediction/bets on the severity of his punishment?? |

"any bets on what his punishment will be????????
" Probably 40 lashes with a wet noodle and a "naughty boy, don't do it again" lecture.

Isn't that a bit harsh Don? 40!
 More than likely, he'll be chastised behind closed doors, and told to be a little more discrete next time.

he'll probably get like a suspended sentence and probably get like a year of house arrest.

A slap on the wrist and a stern, "Don't get caught next time".

They don't dare chastise him too severely as he might start telling stories about some of his cohort's dealings. Time to send him out to get a real job!

Re: Rangel Guilty on 11 of 13 charges
Sorry Charley. Your ethics violations were so blatant that even the Democratic controled Ethics committee had to find him guilty on 11 charges out of 13. Wonder how he would have made out when the Republicans take over.
