#2 "Troubling" indeed. At 80, he's still got a couple of decades of congressional career yet ahead of him. Congressional "dignity"....ranks right up there with dehydrated water?

#3 NO, the reason Obama finds this "Troubling" is that Chollie's Black (Like Obama) and he thinks (Correctly) that once people see and do sonething about Black corruption he's next in line.
I just noticed they are also after Maxine waters so that's two in a row, hell yes he's "Troubled".

#4 Corruption doesn't have a skin colour, Redneck Jim, or a religion, or... It doesn't even have a party, sadly enough. However, there is a strong tie to longevity in public office.

#5 Whoops! Hit Submit too soon.

At the moment, given the fragility of the Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, corruption charges against yet another Democrat should be very troubling indeed to the leader of the Democrats in Washington, DC.

Finally, the vision of his party comrades turning on Rep. Rangel (D-Corruption) at the end of his career should also trouble President Obama, as the end of his own career may be only a few short years away. What a resume': BA Columbia, JD Harvard, Illinois State Senator (2 1/2 terms), U.S. Senator (1/2 term), U.S. President (1 term), has-been occasional speechmaker (2013 ff.)

#10 Viking funeral, the political variety. Instead of torches, they bring money. Charlie woulda wanted it that way...
