The Politico reports:
After months of holding ranks, Democrats are finally turning on House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) in the wake of an ethics committee finding that he violated House rules by accepting a Caribbean junket.
Early Friday, Rep. Paul Hodes (D-N.H.) told POLITICO he wants Rangel to quit his powerful committee post – and that was quickly followed by similar statements from a pair of deep south Democrats, Mississippi Rep. Gene Taylor and Alabama Rep. Bobby Bright.
Health care on the ropes and the Democratic Ways and Means chairman under a cloud of scandal. The parallels to 1994 keep getting eerier.

Not sure your headline is reflective of the article. The more accurate headline would be, "Only Three Dems Call for Rangel to Give Up Chairman Post."
That being said, I give Hodes, Taylor and Bright credit for their courage, because if Rangel is still in power when it comes time to pass out cash to various districts these three are going to be left with nothing.

This NY """"HOODLUM"""" should have been arrested, tried, convicted and sent to jail long ago [and certainly should not have been appointed chariman of anything]. This just shows the sleezyness of the Democrats that control our country!!!!!!

The Democrat party is a stinking cesspool of corruption. Can you imagine what the NYSlimes would be doing if Rangel were a repub? The liberal media hypocrisy is disgusting.

Why would anyone ask Rangel to step down. The rules do not apply to him. He is above us all and should not be questioned. Shut up and pay your taxes!
