According to today's Daily Caller, Maxine Waters may join Charlie Rangel in the House dock due to her questionable dealings.

Waters has made a career out of using her position to help her husband, Sidney Williams. A few years back, she intervened in a Houston DEA investigation of a suspected cocaine dealer who just happened to be a childhood friend of Williams. She succeeded in getting the DEA investigation shut down.
She also got her pal Barney Frank to take care of OneUnited Bank in that infamous Stimulous Package. We also know that Waters arranged a meeting between OneUnited and regulators with no mention of her husband's ties to the institution.
Don't get your hopes up here, corruption buffs. The most that will happen is a reprimand, whatever the Hell that is.

I think Sam Houston was once reprimanded by the Speaker of the House, who actually admired him and therefore delivered an oration of praise before delivering a pro forma reprimand. Or maybe it was Davy Crockett. I know Crockett served in the House. I'm not sure about Houston. I read a lot of biographies when I was in elementary school.
They would probably like to reprimand me.
Who would?
Congress.(LOL)
