The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct voted to investigate allegations that Congresswoman Maxine Waters used her political clout for personal gain. The Democrat from Los Angeles arranged a meeting with Treasury officials on behalf of a trade association representing minority banks. Waters and her husband owned stock in one of the banks that requested a bailout at that meeting.

Wow, it's a good day. I'd love to see Maxine Waters tossed from office and into perpetual obscurity. She's about as worthless to me as that idiot former-Congresswoman from Georgia, Cynthia McKinney. I have no use for ruthless, loud-mouth, belligerent power-hungry skeezers. I don't know much about Laura Richardson, but i'm sure i'd find her highly obejctionable as well if she's from the same mold as Waters.

This might be me but I dont think they should be investagating themselves.

I think it should be an outside panel. If they are found guilty got to go

Cue the liberal response to "poo-poo" the OP, and offer qualifiers and excuses for Waters.

or they will bring up something about Michelle Bachman.

Liberals usually have a tough time looking in the mirror.

Here is another problem why would this have to be leaked. Shouldnt this be public record and open for us all to see who we are paying that is under investigation.

After she goes to prison, maybe her idol Fidel Castro will have someone smuggle in some Cuban cigars.
