As I wrote about many moons ago, Representative Maxine Waters (D. Cali.), was on a list of investigations into the corruption of public officials. Note that the leaked list included members of both parties. As you've probably already noted, Rep. Charles Rangel (D. NY) has had charges filed against him which were long overdue and now, so has Ms. Waters. According to the charges, Ms. Waters facillitated meetings to try and funnel stimulus funds to a bank on which her husband served as a member of the board and in which he held significant investments. Repbulicans had better be careful about how much they try and trumpet these charges because it is likely they aren't exactly pure as the driven snow. There is a culture of corruption in Washington, D.C. that absolutely must change if we have any chance to preserve the republic as our founding fathers intended.
