#1 Keep playing dumb, Charlie. You've been here before. This'll blow over like it always does. And your idiot constituents will keep voting you in til the day you die.

#4 Seems like just yesterday NP was NOT advocating his stepping down. Bus must've been in the shop getting the chassis greased up. Or sumpin'.

#6 Charlie should hire me...

Mr. Rangel believes, I believe and his colleagues believe that making inadvertent errors with no intention to conceal, no personal enrichment and no corruption of the public trust, is not disqualifying. He is prepared to let his constituents make the final judgment on his fitness to serve. Whatever the facts are, he has not dishonored the House, he has not dishonored himself he has not done anything intentionally wrong.

#7 So Trent Lott says some kind words to Thurman on is 98th birthday, and gets run out of his postion as majority leader.
This guy (Rangel) is a proven (if unconvicted) tax cheating CROOK, and there is some "debate" that he is being "asked" to step down? WTF? I wonder what will happen to me if I should forget to mention several tens of thousands of rental property income - anyone? Think I'll be visited by anyone federal?

#8 Jeesh, how often do I have to keep reminding you guys? DEMOCRAT=CRIMINAL. That's it. That's all there is. That's all there ever is. Anybody who votes Democrat or serves in any government organization as a Democrat Party member is a criminal. They support criminality, they aid criminality, they commit crimes if they can get anywhere near a position where they have the opportunity. That's what Democrats do. This business with Rangel isn't news, just as the business with "Cold Cash" or Sandy Burglar or Whitewater or Marc Rich or the exotic labor provisions of Saipan and American Samoa aren't news. It's Democrat criminality. Dog bites man is more original than this.
