The issue with Rep. Rangel is not the ethics charges. The issue is term limits.
Rep. Rangel has been in office for 20 terms. It is not humanly possible to be in office that long and not develop the unfortunate ego and attitude that will inevitably lead to some form of ethical lapses perhaps even corruption.
His reaction to the news tells the story. He was visibly upset and annoyed even to be asked about it. It is simply time to go.
