Maxine Waters Appointed Top Democrat on House Financial Service Committee
8th December 2012
Waters will be the ranking member on the committee that deals with banking issues. Last year, the House Ethics Committee investigated Waters, one of the most partisan members of the Congressional Black Caucus, for allegedly using her position in Congress to bail out a bank in which her husband owned $350,000 worth of stock.
I guess that constitutes qualifications for Democrats. Cheat on your taxes? Become Treasury Secretary! Use your power as Congresscritter to arrange for your own bank to be bailed out? Get put in charge of bank bailouts! Have a long history of unsafe driving? Be in charge of driving safety for the entire state!
I suppose next we can anticipate a crook being named Attorney General. Oh, wait, we’ve already got one….
