When you are accused of having ill-gotten gains, some may wonder where it goes. In the case of the alleged ethics violations of Rangel we find him generous with the cash. Apparently 17 congressmen have recognized the taint upon the cash and returned or donated it to charity. You might want to check this list (it’s alphabetical) to see if your local yokel has had any pangs of conscience and ethically disposed of it. So far, those listed have not.

Altmire is from my state. Doesn't surprise me. What does amaze me is how many have actually come forward of their own accord. Guess they're just afraid of being caught. Doesn't mean any of them have any TRUE scruples. And how many more have done shaddy or corrupt crap that we don't know about YET?
