Now that embattled Democrat, Charlie Rangel has received his sweetheart deal, yet another embattled Democrat is facing ethics charges. California Democrat Maxine Waters (no relation) is facing charges of using her influence for personal gain by directing bail out funds to a lone back her husband helped create and sat on the board of.

Her defense? Why, blame Bush, what else?

“The question at this point should not be why I called Secretary Paulson, but why I had to,” she said. “The question at this point should be why a trade association representing over 100 minority banks could not get a meeting at the height of the crisis.”
But the House ethics committee, which is investigating Waters for allegedly improperly using her position for personal gain, says in its report of charges that when the meeting was held, the officers of only one bank came — OneUnited.
