Thank you, Opie, for the beautiful images.
On another front, it's not turning out to be as beautiful for our old friend Charlie Rangel as a couple of house Democrats have asked for his resignation. The main outcry comes from a lady who apparently has some real chops with it comes to walking the straight and narrow:
In a major development, Rep. Betty Sutton (D-Ohio) on Friday night called on beleaguered Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) to resign.
Sutton's statement comes one day after the House ethics committee charged the 80-year-old Democrat with multiple violations.
In a statement to The Hill, Sutton stated, "It is regrettable, but Charlie Rangel needs to resign from his seat in Congress. This isn’t about being a Democrat or Republican, this is about preserving the public trust. Our nation is facing extraordinary challenges and we must be focused on building a sustainable economy that will allow our workers and businesses to flourish."
Sutton has built a reputation as a crusader for congressional ethics. In 2008, she led the fight to pass legislation creating the Office of Congressional Ethics, which now serves as an independent ethics body within the House of Representatives.
..pretty soon, ol' Chuck maybe doing a lot of napping on the beach -- at our expense, of course. If he doesn't resign, on the other hand, maybe he'll be enjoying a stay at the Grey Bar Hotel.
