#1 "Stop, don't do that" - or else we'll say "stop, don't do that" again.

Yeah - that'll work .........

#3 I liked the Treacher comment - which was along the lines of "Rangel left the ethics hearing because he was afraid he would get some ethics on him!"

#4 The most likely sanction would be a House vote deploring his conduct.

If an elected representative uses official resources for monetary gain it's not simply "violation of rules" - it's crimminal! If the committee declares Rangle improperly used his official capacity to raise money, at a minimum, they should call for expulsion.

#5 Rangel told them he had run out of money after paying his previous attorneys some $2 million and needed time to set up a legal defense fund to raise an additional $1 million.

Charlie, it's a done deal. The "ethics" committee gets to go harrumph harrumph harrumph and then the baliff whacks your pee pee. You're gonna waste another million for that?
Damn, you're a bigger idiot then I thought...

#6 The "ethics" committee gets to go harrumph harrumph harrumph and then the baliff whacks your pee pee.

This is still a Democratic congress - I think the verb you should use is stroke - as stroke your pee pee

Nothing will happen to him and he'll get street cred. He'll laugh all the way to the bank.
