Just in from NBC News/NY report:
Harlem Democrat Charles Rangel now says he will step down as chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, NBC News has learned.
He may make the move as early as tonight and Michigan Democratic Rep Sander Levin will temporarily take over the committee.
Some details still need to be ironed out, but sources said Rangel has been pushed to step down before the House voted on a bill to forcefully strip him of the coveted chairmanship.
Get ready for Pete Stark, people.

Well, golly, gee. How did that happen? At least Wilbur Mills was able to get soaked in a fountain with Fanny Foxe. The national legislature is an embarrassing joke.
