MORE RANGEL MUCK:

The ethical clouds hanging over Rep. Charlie Rangel grow thicker by the day.

Thursday, it came to light that Rangel’s campaign committee steered some $80,000 to his son’s Internet company for work that Politico.com’s Luke Rosiak and Glenn Thrush describe as “poorly designed” and shoddy.

So how can House Speaker Nancy Pelosi practically guarantee when the ongoing House Ethics Committee probe into Rangel’s conduct will conclude?

Yet she’s doing exactly that.

So, is the “fix” in?

The smart money is on “yes.”
