Wranglin' Rangel

Rascally rapscallion Charles "Mr. Integrity" Rangel has decided to "temporarily step aside" from his chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee, the place where tax laws are written, during the final phases of the Ethics Committee's inquest into his, ummm, creative personal financial dealings in order to direct more of his attention toward more urgent matters, such as shredding documents, setting up offshore shell corporations, and asking staff members to fall on their own swords for him. 
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, recovering from the shocking news that a  member of Congress and fellow Democrat may be fundamentally dishonest, was unavailable for comment, fearing such actions could jeopardize her latest blepharoplasty surgery or cause her to spill a drink.
