It sure looks like it to me.But are they being “Unfairly” targeted? No. I don’t think so. Clearly, Repubs are busy trying to dig up any hint of dirt on Black members of Congress. And so far, it APPEARS that Rangel and Waters have provided Repubs with just the kind of “dirt” they’re digging for. And the truth is, Repubs should know "DIRT" when they see it!

But Charlie Rangel is probably more at fault than Maxine Waters.From CNN:Veteran Rep. Charlie Rangel apologized on the House floor Tuesday for causing any embarrassment by violating chamber rules, but he insisted he is not corrupt and refused to resign.In a sometimes rambling speech, the New York Democrat defiantly challenged the House ethics committee to move faster on holding a public hearing on the 13 counts of alleged violations against him.He also challenged fellow House members of both parties to kick him out if they want to get rid of him."If it is the judgment of the people here that I should resign," then the ethics committee should expedite its consideration of the charges against him, Rangel said. But "I am not going away. I am here."http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/08/10/rangel.statement.denial/index.html?eref=rss_topstories&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_topstories+%28RSS%3A+Top+Stories%29
