Arianna Huffington: Sunday Roundup

This week, a day after Democrats voted down an attempt to remove scandal-plagued Ways and Means Committee chairman Charlie Rangel from his post, the House Ethics Committee voted unanimously to expand its investigation of him. Nancy Pelosi, who promised to "drain the swamp" and create "the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history," is, instead, sticking by Rangel. Talk about tone deaf. The Democrats have to make it clear to America's beleaguered middle class that they don't believe there are two sets of rules: one for the power players of Wall Street and Washington, and one for everybody else. Congress' approval rating is at 21 percent, a 10 point drop over the last month. If the Democrats want to see it hit single digits, by all means, keep Charlie Rangel as chairman.

It's hard to believe anyone with leadership and public spirit would be willing to hang around Albany. Cynicism and despair aren't going to get us anywhere, but there are days when you find it hard to feel anything else.

You see the Paterson connection now? But, it won't play out the way they want us to believe. Why would a ranking democrat step aside for a junior congressman? Rangel has a powerful position. They want to squeez him out so that thye can have one of their own in their. If Rangel leaves, Patrson will not step in as committee chair. They know this and Rangel knows this. If Rangel leaves, it will be beacuse they have him cornered, like Jefferson.

Party hack passes baton to party hack. Harlem, like so many New York districts, suffers from historical cronyism. The path to election is through the creepy little election district kingpins, instead of the people directly. Either way Patterson is done as governor. Let's just hope he's not replaced by Guiliani.

I hope this report is incorrect. Enough with the Rangel-Dinkins-Paterson connection. Harlem needs new representation.

I wouldn't crack open any Clicquot just yet. Charlie Rangel isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Let's see what happens after next year, NYS Governor primary (if there is one) at all. At that time Congressman Rangel will make his decision.
