Now we find out that Rangel has been using a congressional parking garage as free storage for his car. It has not been registered since 2004. Under IRS rules the free parking is considered as income.

I don't understand why we are "watching Rangel", he's an American war hero, purple heart, bronze star, Korean war, who represents Harlem,... who defended Bush against Chavez's comments at the U.N.,... he'a a conservative leaning democrat, pro free trade, and one of the cleanest politicians in Congress (which is not too hard to do since 75% of congress is severly corrupt) and at least he's done much good for civil and human rights... all his corruption is petty or negligable next to almost all the Republicans, Ron Paul excepted of course, and half the Democrats, the Bluedog Democrats (exactly like the Republicans). Why are you going after or "watching" him???? Why not watch Brownback and Robers of Kansas both who voted with Bush over 90% of the time...I'd like to have a lot more "watching" of our Kansas congress persons.
Almost everyone in Congress with the exception of people like Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich and Russ Feingold are hypocrites, Rangel is one of the least hypocritical of the Congress, his tax fraud, if true, is minor even negligable compared to most CEOs, Halliburton, Exxon, Enron, Citibank, United Airlines etc... why not "watch" the worst of the legislator bunch like Phil Gramm who destroyed the Glass Steagall act, causing the 2 trillion dollar tax payer bailout of Wall Street or Lieberman the King of hypocrits, why go after a relatively acceptable and respectable congress person like Rangel, if we had more people like him, America would be doing OK and not in the throes of severe Republican incompetence,immorality, torture and war. There are bigger fish to fry first. If you check out Rangel's bio on wikipedia and compare it to say Gramm or Lieberman you see he's got far more integrity and works much more for the people.
Well I probably could do a watch on everyone in congress, but they are not in the news right now for their corruption.
Rangel (being the chairman of the the most powerful committee in congress) should have extra scrutiny, kind of like Caesar's wife".
