Nancy, if you’ve drained the swamp, how come 43 House Democrats* won’t return Rangel’s Dough?

by

According to the AP, “Democratic leaders say they’ve emptied the swamp of congressional corruption.”

Is that so? Over fifty Democratic members of Congress are still swimming around in the muck:

. . . nine senators and 43 congressmen — are hanging on to more than $368,000 in donations they received from embattled former House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., during the 2008 election cycle.

Those 53 are in marked contrast to the 27 incumbent Democrats who earlier this year returned $378,000 in campaign donations from Rangel’s political action committee, including nine who returned $165,000 but only after being asked about the funds by The Examiner.

Nancy, by your standards, my apartment is spic and span.  Didn’t know that I needed to do to clean it up was to declare it clean.

If the Speaker were serious about draining the swamp, she would ask her friend Charlie Rangel to resign his seat, you know, and end his career with dignity.

And anyway, can you think of a more bone-headed way to handle two ethics investigations of prominent Democrats by declaring that you don’t have a corruption problem in your house?

*(not to mention 9 Senators).

  1. Considering Nancy Pelosi represents SF where the city council considers aggressive pan handling, homeless people pooping on the front steps of privately owned businesses, Crack dens next door to elementary schools, rampant graffiti and Criminal illegal aliens being protected by sanctuary laws, is just another “touch of color” to the rainbow quilt that makes SF a “fantastic” tourist attraction. Color me NOT surprised she thinks she has brained the swamp.

    To paraphrase Ravey from the (now canceled) Woody show on live 105, It’s the pot and poop fumes that reduces the common sense in the people of San Francisco.

  2. Rep. Nancy Pelosi dove into the swamp & made the swamp larger. Besides the corruption in Charlie Rangel & Maxine Waters, there’s also the late John Murtha, Nancy Pelosi herself, & Barney Frank. Then there’s the corruption in the Senate…

    What would Nancy Pelosi do if she ran into Swamp Thing? She would try to pay him off with money. However, the only green Swampy likes is photosythesis & from the mysterious Parliament of Trees.
