Rangel Convicted on 11 of 13 Charges

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), once one of the most powerful members of the House, was convicted Tuesday on 11 counts of violating ethics rules.

What or how will his buddies in Congress deal with him now? A slap on the wrist, which is likely or will they rightfully throw him under the bus and leve him to deal with his "shame?" Most likely the latter, due to this point in the story...
"But Rangel, 80, is certainly not expected to lose his job. The silver-haired 20-term veteran, known for his gravelly voice, sense of humor and sartorial splendor, is still beloved by many of his House colleagues. And in the lame-duck session, Democrats still hold the majority."

'Nuff said?
