Congressional troubles

Back in November 2010, we sat down to discuss Charlie Rangle. While the media was not going to the good old unprecedented card, it did provide a chance to remind folks that virtually every presidential administration and congress of the 20th century has had some member of the executive or legislative branch brought up on charges and either disciplined by the body or the courts.

The irony of this taping was just a few days later, the verdict finally came back on former speaker of the house Tom Delay's Texas case. We debated re-cutting the episode -- it literally aired the day his verdict came in -- but we figured, you know, that's just going to give us another chance to revisit fates of speakers of the house.
