Several lawmakers took a post-election trip to a luxurious Caribbean resort that may have breached House ethics rules because of corporate involvement.

Against a backdrop of corporate logos, two of the lawmakers thanked Citigroup, Pfizer, IBM and AT&T for their roles. The ethics committee approved the trip, but the rules bar lawmakers from taking trips lasting more than two days if corporations are underwriting or organizing any part of them.

Other members of the Congressional Black Caucus who attended the conference at the sun-swept, 10-acre Sonesta Maho Beach Resort in St. Martin included Reps. Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-Mich.) and Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

The trip has already caused headaches for Rangel, who faces an array of ethics allegations that have surfaced in recent months. Pictures of Rangel asleep on the beach appeared on the cover of the New York Post, along with a story highlighting the trip and allegations that it broke House rules.

Obama is planning in his next address to the Nation to encourage citizens not to read "The Hill" as "You can't just read The Hill and get things done."

I wonder how long it'll be until the Capital Building is renamed "The Citigroup Building," or some-such, depending on who wins the bidding for those rights.

Can't you see it on CSPAN: "This 1st session of the 112th Congress is brought to you by: CapitalOne...what's in your wallet?"
