Rangel's Dirty Money

Since Representative Charles angel (D, NY) has been under ethics investigation, it was uncovered that he has given some of his "dirty money" to a large number of Congressional collegues. To date, 27 Democratic members have sent their Rangel donations to charity, rather than using it for themselves. You may think we're talking about chump change but the investigation determined that the dirty money is in excess of $378,000!

Rember that Rangel is the guy who just stepped down from chairing the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. You know, the committee that gives us our tax laws! Now Rangel is on a leave of absence because Pelosi doesn't have the balls to FIRE HIM~!
