At some point today, the House of Representatives is expected to take up a “resolution of disapproval” condemning Rep. Joe Wilson, R-South Carolina, for shouting “You lie!” during President Obama’s address. His apology was good enough for President Obama to say it was time to move on, but that wasn’t sufficient for Speaker Pelosi or other House Democrats, it seems.
Among those expected to vote on the measure is Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., who amended his financial disclosure forms because he forgot almost $700,000 in additional income, including a Merrill Lynch Global account worth at least $250,000, holdings in PepsiCo stocks, a vacation property in the Dominican Republic and as much as $100,000 in rental income.
The House Ethics Committee currently has 26 ongoing investigations — in some cases, seemingly endlessly ongoing investigations.
According to CREW’s records, the lawmakers currently under investigation are: Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-Ga., Sen. Roland Burris, D-Ill., Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., Rep. Jesse Jackson, D-Ill., Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., Rep. Gary Miller, R-Calif., Rep. Allan Mollohan, D-W.Va., Rep. Timothy Murphy, R-Pa., Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., Rep. Laura Richardson, D-Calif., Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Calif., Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-Ind., Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska.
I’m sure you notice a name that isn’t on that list.
