Things keep looking worse and worse for Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Now, even the Washington Post is weighing in that at the very least he should be stripped of his chairmanship, after it was revealed that he helped an oil company (the horror!) secure a tax break in exchange for a $1 million donation to Rangel's eponymous school of public service at City College of New York . Revoking his chairmanship would seem logical to some people, but obviously not to the Democratic leadership. However, I say it is never too early to get started on 2010, and if the Democrats want to keep a corrupt tax cheat (who unbelievably writes the very tax laws he himself cannot follow) as one of their leading voices, I am all for it.
