    Democrats..not so much (See: Slick Willie, Cold Cash Jefferson, etc. Exception: Um…uh…Wait, still thinking…)

    The “Dim” controlled House is going to let scandal ridden “Dim” Rangel use his own forensic accountant to check his personal finances for problems (illegalities), and then will turn the results over to the House Ethics Committee for investigation. Yup, that sure sounds like it’s going to be a thorough investigation by the House Ethics Committee to me (Ya, right).

    Ok, these people really believe we are stupid.

    YES

    Trouble is the ones who keep voting for these shleps ARE stupid. Dems don’t care if their people are corrupt. They actually like them that way.

    Joy, re: They actually like them that way.

    Only Republicans can be corrupt, Democrats are “entitled”. Oh, but then of course there is Hillary…

    The best part is he just canceled his divorce proceedings against his wife.

    I guarantee its because a wife can’t testify against her husband, but a former wife can.

    Every time I see him, “oily” is the word that comes to mind.

    Watched CSI or “Bones”? The reason Rangell has to hire a forensic account is that his tax situation is a rotting, putrid, maggot-infested corpse, oozing not just nasty fluids, but scandal and potential criminal liability.

    That’s also why he’s hired Lanny “Ducky” Davis.

    In China these goons behind the financial meltdown would be marched to a stadium and shot. In America they get political power and mansions.

    Republican AD idea:

    Nancy Pelosi is at the podium, promising, “If you elect us, we will run the most ethical Congress ever.”
    Freeze frame.

    Overlay: “The Most Ethical Congress Ever..?

    [Narrator lists all of the Dems who are under investigation and for what, which Dems have indictments against them, and which Dems have been convicted during the past two years.]

    Cut to: Pelosi, with the words, “Freddy Mac” and “Fannie Mae” above her head]

    Pelosi: We had nothing to do with that.”

    Narrator: Really, Nancy..?

    [Show pictures of all Dems involved in preventing the reform of these programs. Below them it says, “Voted to stop the reform of these programs five years ago.”

    Narrator: The most ethical Congress ever? Not by a long shot. But definitely, the most unpopular…

    Moses, smell the roses:

    Rangel’s district, the smallest in the country in geographic size, encompasses Upper Manhattan and includes such neighborhoods as Harlem, Spanish Harlem, Washington Heights, Inwood, and part of the Upper West Side, as well as a small portion of Queens in the neighborhood of Astoria.

    Rangel’s criminal activity only elevates his status in that district.

    Everyone’s there knows that he’s bein’ persemecuted by da’ man.
