In the GOP, the American people gave the GOP a much deserved boot in the rear end, in part, because of corruption issues. In return, they got the least competent, least popular Congress in history -- which is run by Democrats.

They also got more corruption as evidenced by this story about Charlie Rangel,

Embattled Harlem Congressman Charles Rangel is facing possible ouster from his powerful committee chairmanship as he scrambles to file new tax returns in a desperate bid to hold on to his job.

The amended returns will reflect years of income he never bothered reporting from renting out his beachfront Caribbean villa, his lawyer said yesterday.

House Republicans yesterday pushed Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to dump Rangel as head of the Ways & Means Committee, which writes the nation's tax laws.

"Given Chairman Rangel's continuing ethical lapses, he cannot effectively carry out his duties," nine GOPers wrote to Pelosi.

"It is in the best interest of the public and this representative institution for Rep. Rangel to step down from his chairmanship until his ethical issues have been resolved."

Rangel, a 19-term Democrat, plans a news conference today to announce he'll submit amended federal, state and city tax returns, according to lawyer Lanny Davis.

But Davis waffled on how much Rangel will cough up. He initially said the congressman would repay at least $75,000 he collected from his luxurious home in the Punta Cana Yacht Club in the Dominican Republic.

Hours later, Davis - who represented Bill Clinton during his impeachment hearings - said that Rangel's amended returns would reflect "modest" back taxes, and that the exact amount owed was unclear.

Here's a guy who has been pushing for a massive tax increase and meanwhile, he's not paying his own taxes.

Here's my prediction: this gets swept under the rug and Rangel doesn't lose his chairmanship. Let's see if Nancy Pelosi turns a blind eye to corruption in her own party or actually does the right thing for once.
