    Fox News' Neil Cavuto said: "But politics also is very famous for a little tit for tat. Are Republicans considering any action against Democratic leaders if they go after Congressman Wilson? Might they then, as I have heard others express, go after Charlie Rangel on alleged tax abuses and that he is not fit, given that, to be running the House Ways and Means Committee? In other words, do you see this escalate?" [Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, 9/15/09] Monica Crowley: "[T]here is no evenhandedness here" because no action was taken against Pelosi or Rangel.

    But politics also is very famous for a little tit for tat. Are Republicans considering any action against Democratic leaders if they go after Congressman Wilson? Might they then, as I have heard others express, go after Charlie Rangel on alleged tax abuses and that he is not fit, given that, to be running the House Ways and Means Committee? In other words, do you see this escalate?

  3. This whole thing is absurd because there is no evenhandedness here. Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, can tar the entire Central Intelligence Agency as a rogue body of liars, and she is OK. And Charlie Rangel, who writes the tax laws, is up to his eyeballs in all kinds of tax irregularities.

  4. We have the full House here debating whether or not Joe Wilson should be censured, a rebuke ... disapproval? I mean, how much more time and money can we possibly waste on something ridiculous? ... Barack Obama already said, I accept your apology. Move on already, guys. Why waste our time with this?

  6. Hard to believe, but there's gambling in the casino, and politics in Washington. If they are going to censure someone for using the word 'lie' to demean their political opponents on the House floor, then clearly they should censure President Obama, who actually did it a few minutes before Joe Wilson rig...
