That’s what the Dems said when they took over control of Congress.
9% approval rating. HA!
And what about that guy Charlie Rangel? He’s pretty ethical, no?
He's a piece of freakin sh-- like the rest of them.

Among the new discrepancies:
--Rangel's papers over the past 10 years show no reference to the sale of a home he once owned on Colorado Avenue in Washington.
--The details of a property bought in Sunny Isles, Fla., are bewildering at best. The stated value changes significantly from year to year, and even page to page, from $50,000 to $100,000 all the way up to $500,000.
--Some of the entries for investment funds fluctuate strangely, suggesting that the person either didn't have accurate information or didn't fill out the paperwork correctly.
Rangel spent the past week trying to answer questions about his ethics and his finances.
He acknowledged that he owes the Internal Revenue Service about $5,000 in back taxes for unreported income from the rental of his vacation villa, and probably a smaller amount to state and city tax collectors.
The congressman acknowledged he made mistakes but said they were errors of omission and should not lead to the loss of his high position in Congress.
The home in the Dominican Republic has proven a major embarrassment to the 78-year-old Rangel, who conceded he never reported the rental income over a 20-year period, received a no-interest mortgage on the place for more than half that time and claims to have no idea what it is worth today.
The ethics committee is also investigating Rangel's rental of three rent-stabilized apartments in his home district of Harlem, as well as his use of official congressional stationery to try to find private donors for a college center named after the lawmaker.
